Mario Strikers: Battle League was announced during today’s Nintendo Direct. The new game in the arcade soccer series comes to Nintendo Switch on June 10, with local play of up to eight players.
The game features the classic Mario Strikers action of chaotic item usage, aggressive slide tackles, and super shots. The game has two new features; gear and Super Strikes. Every playable character has different gear that can be equipped, changing both their appearance and their stats. The Super Strikes can be used by grabbing an orb and powering up, releasing a power shot that counts as two goals if it goes in the net.
