Quick answer

To start The Prince of Tennis Sweet School Festival on Nintendo Switch 2, simply insert the game card or download the digital version, then follow the prologue to meet the characters and begin your first school festival route.

Understanding the story setup

The Prince of Tennis Sweet School Festival ♡-40 and more... is a globally remastered edition of a legendary otome game that has been beloved in Japan for more than 20 years. The story takes place during a school festival, where you interact with characters from the Prince of Tennis universe. Knowing the background helps you immerse in the narrative and make choices that affect your relationships.

Navigating the menu and controls

The Nintendo Switch 2 edition features updated controls optimized for the new hardware. The main menu offers options like New Game, Continue, and Settings. Use the left analog stick to navigate menus and the A button to confirm selections. The right shoulder button (R) often opens a quick-save menu, which is useful before making story decisions.

Common mistakes to avoid

New players sometimes skip the prologue, missing crucial character introductions. Others rush through dialogue without saving, losing progress if they want to revisit a choice. Also, note that the game is text-heavy; playing in a quiet environment helps you catch subtle hints that affect route outcomes.

How to start playing on Switch 2

  1. Install the game: Insert the game card into the Nintendo Switch 2 slot, or download the digital version from the Nintendo eShop. Wait for the installation to complete (about 5 minutes for the digital version). Make sure you have enough free storage space (at least 2 GB) before downloading.
  2. Launch and select New Game: From the Home menu, select the game icon. On the title screen, choose 'New Game' to start a fresh playthrough. The game will begin with a prologue introducing the setting and characters. Do not skip the prologue—it explains the festival premise and introduces all key characters.
  3. Familiarize yourself with the controls: Use the left analog stick to navigate menus and the A button to confirm choices. Press the R button to open the quick-save menu. Practice moving through dialogue and making a simple choice to get comfortable. Quick-save before every major decision so you can reload if you want to explore different story branches.
  4. Make your first story choice: During the prologue, you will encounter a dialogue option that affects which character route you start. Read each option carefully and pick the one that interests you most. The game will then progress along that path. Your first choice sets the initial route, but you can replay to experience all routes later.
  5. Save your progress regularly: After each scene or before closing the game, save manually using the in-game menu (press + button, select Save). The game autosaves only at certain points, so manual saves prevent losing progress. Use multiple save slots to keep backups before important decisions.
