Mario Strikers: Battle League Plays it Safe, but Boy Did We Miss This Series

40 Comments

1. This game is ruined

2. Ign rated fifa 22 7/10 so at best this will be a 7.5-8/10 knowing ign

3. Graphics are really polished

4. It's fine to just release a new entry. It's been long enough that younger gamers haven't even been exposed to this series. A pretty new entry that "plays it safe" is perfectly fine. No need to reinvent the wheel with this one.

5. This game will make record sells for Nintendo

6. Just bought Mario Golf. :-0

7. What is talking?

8. The fact that you seemed to doubt that they'd follow the same DLC plan they used with Tennis and Golf is kind of sad.

9. Pretty sure this is a step back from the Wii version. Nothing about this game is HarDDD

10. from someone who’s never played the series, it’s fun af

11. Surprised it doesn’t say “reviewed with PlayStation 5” in the description

    Ik it’s a switch only game bc it’s Mario that’s not the joke

12. Nintendo Life is able to get to play the game but IGN had to just watch? Huh?

13. This game isn't being safe. It's being cheap. Adding more content wouldn't risk anything. Not playing it safe means you're changing something substantial

14. ft. inazuma strikers please…

15. Whether it’s “playing it safe” or not. I’m just really glad this series is back baby!!

16. Soccer? 🙄 you mean football

17. Jada is awesome and absolutely the right person to be doing this preview! 🙂 Can't wait for this game!

    Awesome job, Jada! 🙂

18. They surely played it safe. The first two games had that mid 2000's "edgy" personality, which might not fit Nintendo's modern standardisation. Don't know how to express it, but back in the N64 and GCN eras, each SM game had it's own very distinctive art-style.
    Now, they seem to convey.

19. Been playing training for the last like hour, dang this is fun

    And no, angry Mario characters are back which means they aren't playing it too safe.

20. Definitely buying this

21. Looks a million times better and, more importantly, ENJOYABLE than any FIFA game since the ‘14-‘15 entry.👌🏽👏🏽

22. Mario is pretty much Gouenji FIYAAA TORNAAADO!

23. Nintendo can't create new characters other than Mario Bros. Boring

24. kinda weird that the person who made this video wasn't the one who got to play the game…

25. If only Inazuma 11/Tsubasa game mechanic look like this 🫠

26. Honestly it may seem lacking in some parts with modes and characters but this is the only game I'm excited for in June, and the Cuphead DLC release date of June 30th could be delayed.

27. playing it safe because small roster…

28. MARIO BASEBALL is the best mario spinoff series

29. You’re not the only one!

30. Could the rabbids be future dlc

31. Is it possible to play club Mode local coop online?

32. Is there co op tho ??

33. HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO PLAY!?!?

34. Baseball next

35. IGN will play it safe and give it a 7/10.

36. IGN knows all about playing it safe.

37. It will unfortunately be lacking content at launch like the other Mario sports games on switch, but damn it does look fun

38. IGN knows all about playing it safe.

39. Preordered! So HYPED for this game!!!!

40. Bros voice irritating asf
