Yesterday, Nintendo released a new trailer for Mario Tennis Fever, and in case you missed it, it highlighted amiibo support.
In a brief segment at the very end of the video, Nintendo detailed how exactly this new entry would be compatible with its line of NFC figures.
When you tap one of the following amiibo listed below, you’ll get a themed tennis ball design based on these characters. It’s noted in fine print how “ball speed is not affected” by this change.
No other features tied to amiibo support have been mentioned, but if we hear anything, we’ll let you know.

Nintendo previously included amiibo support in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash on the Wii U – allowing players to train and level up characters (similar to Super Smash Bros.) and use them in matches.
