Mario Strikers: Battle League Football is kicking onto Switch this June
Nintendo revealed early in their new direct that the Mario Strikers series was coming back, as Mario Strikers: Battle League Football. Check out the games reveal trailer below.
One quick thing to note, in the USA the game is just called Mario Strikers: Battle League, but here we have the word Football tagged on the end, otherwise the game is identical.
In this new game, players will get to complete in a five-on-five sport like football that’s way heavy on offence. You can aim for goals by dribbling and passing to teammates, as well as using tackles, items and crushing special shots. If you spot an orb on the pitch, grab it and charge it up while your opponents are distracted to unleash Hyper Strike, a special shot that can earn you two goals in one!
If that wasn’t enough, you can enjoy the game locally with friends, online against rivals or even join up in a new club, with up to 20 members, taking your skills online against others, to rise up the leaderboard, much like real world sports do.
The game is coming to Nintendo Switch on June 10.
