What to expect from the upcoming Nintendo release?

Nintendo‘s Mario Strikers Battle league is a football-themed game. The game will act as the next big outing for the Mushroom Kingdom as Mario and his friends will set foot on the grounds. The game’s design is inspired by European football as the franchise added a mode called Strike where players match up with no rules. Have a look at the amazing trailer below.

You might think that the game is just like any other soccer title, but it’s not. One will shoot, dribble, and score goals just like you do in real life, but some things are different here. For example, players will experience a truckload of power-ups in the game with electric fences placed as goalposts. The matches will have a 5v5 format with no rules set.

Battle League will have most of your favorite characters, such as Mario, Bowser, Peach, Donkey Kong, Rosalina, Wario, Toad, and Waluigi.
