Players will be able to ride in vehicles based around Mario, Luigi, and Samus. The Mario and Luigi cars are the same but for a different predominant color and logo, and the one you get depends on the Rocket League team you’re on. You’ll be Mario on the Orange team, and Luigi on the Blue team.

Telltale Games finally put out its first Switch release today, Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure. This won’t be the only title from the company though.

During a Reddit AMA, Telltale mentioned that the team should have news regarding other Switch titles “very soon.” Further teased, “We’ll have titles on the eShop sooner than you might think…!”
