The Mario Strikers Battle League release date is already here, meaning you can dive into the striking soccer action right now. Known as Mario Strikers Battle League Football in Europe, this unique Nintendo-flavored sports game features some light RPG elements, with different equipable gear that affects characters’ stats, and a big new special move called a Hyper Strike that can get you two goals instead of one.
Mario Strikers first started on the GameCube with Super Mario Strikers, which was reasonably well-received. After that came Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii, which was similarly well-received, followed by the latest addition on the Nintendo Switch, joining the likes of Mario Golf: Super Rush on our favorite hybrid console.

What’s the gameplay like in Mario Strikers Battle League?
Well, it’s football (or soccer to our American readers), but not like you know it. As you’d expect, there’s dribbling, passing to teammates, tackling the opposition, and shooting. But there are a few twists.
Like Mario Kart, there are items you can use like shells and banana peels. There’s also a special move you can activate by grabbing an orb that appears on the pitch, which lets you unleash Hyper Strike, a special shot that can earn you two goals in one.
You can also customize your team with gear, changing stats like speed, strength, and pass accuracy. Up to eight players – four players on each team – can play on one console, while Strikers Club mode lets 20 players compete together to make their club the best.
That’s everything, then.
