The inimitable Birdo is heading to Mario Tennis Aces on Switch next week as a new playable character, and, to celebrate, Nintendo has released a new trailer showcasing the glamour that’ll be coming to court as a result.
When Mario Tennis Aces debuted on Switch back in June, it featured an already sizeable line-up of familiar playable characters, plucked from across the Mushroom Kingdom. However, their ranks have continue to swell post-launch, with regular content updates so-far welcoming Blooper, Koopa Trooper, and Diddy Kong to the character roster.
That’s not the end of though; Nintendo recently announced that a second batch of familiar faces are on the new way over the next couple of months as part of Mario Tennis Aces’ Version 2 update. These include the aforementioned Birdo (categorised as an All-Round class character) Shy Guy, Koopa Paratroopa, and Petey Piranha .
Birdo’s arrival will be handled in the same way as previous post-launch characters. Which is to say, it’ll first be made available to those that hop online to compete in a tournament (presumably in the hope that a few more people might be incentivised to sign-up to Nintendo’s new paid online service) and will then be pushed to everyone a little later.
In Birdo’s case, players that partake in an online tournament match between October 1st and November 1st will get the character immediately, and all Mario Tennis Aces players will gain access on November 1st. And if you’re still struggling to remember much about Birdo after all this, you might find this to be of some help.
