The triumphant return of Waluigi playing tennis is not far away now, and everyone can try it June 1st through June 4th. Mario Tennis Aces is the next Mario game to hit the Nintendo Switch, due to launch on June 22nd.

Gamespot reported the beta, but also notes: "So far, the Pre-Launch Online Tournament's timings have only been announced for Europe, with no mention of when the beta will come to the US and Australia. GameSpot has contacted Nintendo for clarification."

Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser are the playable characters in the demo, with AI matches and online matches available. No word yet if there's any additional content, but you should get a good feel for the gameplay regardless.
