ā½ Football with no rules, electric fences and Hyper Strikes that can score two goals at once. Mario Strikers: Battle League is Nintendo's wild take on the beautiful game, and at Couch Gaming Hub, it's one of the most exciting team games you can play on a single Switch.
š„ Matches are 5v5, and up to eight players can play locally on one console, either all on the same team against the CPU or split into two teams. Tackle opponents into the electric fence, use items like bananas and shells, and charge up a Hyper Strike for a spectacular, cinematic shot that can turn the game around.
𧤠Each character, from Mario and Bowser to Rosalina and Toad, has unique stats, and you can customise them with gear to boost speed, strength or shooting. The controls are easy to learn, but timing passes, perfect shots and well-placed tackles gives it a surprisingly deep competitive side.
š® So, are you ready to hit the pitch? Pick your squad, gather your friends, and prepare for the most chaotic football match you've ever played. Goooooal!
