Mario Strikers: Battle League gets five minutes of gameplay, new art

Mario Strikers: Battle League heads to Switch this month, and we have even more on the game now. Nintendo opened the official Japanese website and it provides some goodies. Along with some new gameplay, we also have a bunch of character art for the various roster participants.

As for the game itself, here’s everything you need to know:

Introducing Strike, a 5-on-5, soccer-like sport with no rules – do whatever it takes to win! Get gritty and try to score the most goals by tackling enemies, using items, and pulling off score-boosting Hyper Strikes. Super Mario series mainstays like Peach, Toad, and Yoshi put their cleats (and stats) to the pitch and will stop at nothing to score. Customize your characters with gear that can augment their stats and appearance. Take the carnage online or pass the ball to players locally – just look out for the electric fence.

Join an online club to push and shove your way up the ranks

Band together with up to 20 strikers online and compete against other clubs for points. Find the right club for you, team up with friends, and bring your own striker style to the table. Strive to become the world’s top club each season!

Pummel the pitch with up to 8 players

8 players can go for the goal on one Nintendo Switch system, with local wireless, or online. Bring along a secondary striker on the same system in online battles, too. Locally, 4 players on each team can go cleat-to-cleat in individual matches.

The new gameplay for Mario Strikers: Battle League can be viewed below. Note that the latter half of the video doesn’t include sound as Nintendo opted not to have certain clips contain audio.

And here’s the character art:
