Nintendo has confirmed that Mario Strikers: Battle League will be receiving new updates after launch. As part of this, fans can look forward to additional characters. Specifics haven’t been shared just yet though, but we know that the updates will be entirely free.
Providing updates after release is a familiar move for Nintendo, especially when it comes to sports games on Switch. With Mario Tennis Aces for example, the game added Koopa Troopa, Blooper, Diddy Kong, Birdo, Shy Guy, Petey Piranha, Luma, Boom Boom, Pauline, Kamek, Dry Bones, Fire Piranha Plant, and Dry Bowser after launch. Meanwhile, we saw Toadette, Ninji, Koopa Troopa, Wiggler, and Shy Guy in Mario Golf: Super Rush after release.

Mario Strikers was originally more of a platformer
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in GameCube, News | 0 comments
Mario Strikers fans might be surprised to hear that the game came close to being more of a platformer.
That news comes from Mike Inglehart, who was a director on the GameCube title as well as its Wii sequel Mario Strikers Charged. Next Level Games toyed around with that mixture of soccer and platforming after receiving limited direction from Nintendo. However, after the Big N reviewed the team’s work and was told to start over, Mario Strikers became more of a soccer experience that emphasized the sport itself.

Mario Strikers is back and why that’s a big deal
Posted on 2 years ago by Luiz in Features, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
In the last Nintendo Direct, we saw the announcement of a new entry on the Mario Strikers series after 15 years in the form of Battle League.
The game is one of the many spin-offs in which Mario and his friends play a specific sport. However, I would argue that this is a good example of how to break the usual formula that we see in those titles. What we see in Strikers is indeed soccer, but it’s a kind of soccer far removed from reality, with so many insane concepts that it almost feels like an entirely new sport.
In today’s video, I discuss how Mario Strikers manages to be different and why it’s so nice to see the series coming back with the upcoming release of Battle League. You can check out the video down below.
