Mario Strikers: Battle League Football launches for Nintendo Switch this Friday and features Strike – the five-on-five sport that encourages mayhem and doing what it takes to
win. It’s like football if football had no ref and no rules. Check out the new Mario Strikers: Battle League Football – Overview Trailer here to learn about additional gameplay details, including all
the ways players can thwack, zap and dropkick their opponents on their way to victory.
In Mario Strikers: Battle League Football, players can select among familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom including Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong and Toad, and play locally* with up to
eight players or take the competition online.** Players can use a Team Tackle to help a teammate cover extra ground, knock down opponents, or snatch a Strike Orb to unleash a Hyper Strike to
score two points if it successfully reaches the goal. Strike has no fouls – so you can make the other team wish they never crossed studs with you!
Even without rules, protection is paramount. While easy to pick up and play, players can also deploy deeper strategies by donning flashy gear that can be equipped to boost their team’s stats,
which vary between characters, including increased speed and shooting for more scoring potential, or up their strength to resist tackles. Each character also has their own signature Striker
Style to discover.
Once geared up, players can gather their fearsome friends together in the online-only Strikers Club mode. In this mode, players are able to create their own club with up to 20 strikers or join an
existing one, and then compete against other clubs to gain points and shove their way up the rankings each season. Club owners can customise their club’s uniform and will also earn tokens
after each match which can be used to customise their club stadium. Select among familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom and thwack, zap and dropkick your
opponents on your way to victory when Mario Strikers: Battle League Football launches for Nintendo Switch this Friday.
