    Straight up downgrade from charged.

    Things in a 15 year old wii game this garbage is missing: - 1v1 ranked ladder - More than 5 stages - Stage hazards - Recognizable character themes - A decent sized roster - Unlockable characters through single player This is just off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more. It wouldn't have taken much for me to actually like this game

    - 1v1 ranked ladder
    - More than 5 stages
    - Stage hazards
    - Recognizable character themes
    - A decent sized roster

    This is just off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more.

    It wouldn't have taken much for me to actually like this game but they **** it up so hard. So many things baffle me about this game. If they wanted to skimp on single player and focus on multiplayer that's fine, but don't make the multiplayer garbage then. If you want to play "ranked" You have to be in a club and can only use 1 character that you created. All your other team members are made by club members (randoms), so teambuilding is ****. They seem to want to make it higher skill by adding in timing to do perfect passing and shots but then they add garbage comeback mechanics like free items when you're losing and guaranteed goal hyper strikes. They seemed to want to make this game 4v4 multiplayer but you cant use 4 switches on 1 team.

    I really wanted to like this game, I still enjoy charged to this day. I dropped this game in a couple weeks and I don't see myself coming back for characters that should have been in from the start.

Online is only peer2peer, what is silly, because i dont know why I pay Nintendo online service and they got no servers. All in all a huge lack of content. I paid 60€ for an early access game, because Nintendo knows what the fans want and how they can make maximum profit out of a minimum of work. Yeah they will patch new content, nice. So what? Should we celebrate that we have to wait a year until they patched their premium beta? Definitly last time i bought a Nintendo game on day one. Expand

    Nintendo really needs to make sure they stop this “release unfinished game, finish it with free updates later” approach.

At least Tennis Aces gameplay was improved over previous versions and some courts had hazards, this game is pretty much 1 stadium with absolutely zero variety, and in many ways has less interesting gameplay than the Wii version from 2007. Overall, extremely disappointed. I have been wanting Nintendo to make a new Sluggers game for years now as it’s my favorite Mario sports game, but at this point I rather them just port Supper Sluggers from Wii instead of them probably releasing a new game that is unfinished and content lacking.

    I am only giving it 2/10 because at least the gameplay is great and the graphics are good, but that is it. Everything else is lacking or is straight up worse than a game released 15 years ago. It is better to simply play Charged.

    They removed some of the best things from strikers charged. Skillshots, character specific dodges, and a charged soccer ball. Thats what made charged so much better than the original stikers on gamecube. This new game feels like a heavy downgrade back to the gamecube version of the game and its very disappointing.

But barebones experience that is incredibly lacking compared to the first two Mario Strikers games, with a lackluster roster, and NO single player mode and a severe lack of content.

I don't really know what was the big idea? It can't be technical reasons, FIFA can handle 11v11 matches with Pro Clubs.
    The game also pretends you have someone at home to comply with a 4v4 online, not giving you options to play solo. As if people keeps hanging out together. Is this still a thing?

    So you have one friend only? No worry, Nintendo thought of you: If you play with one friends, you can't select 2 characters per players, so each player could have switch between _its_ two characters. The player switch is shared between players. Switching character select the character the closest to the ball. This means if both players switch at the same time, you are not really sure about which character you control.

    Let me repeat this: If you play with a friend, in the speed of the game, character switching is unpredictable. And because of the speed of the game character switch is what make the difference between loose and win.

    The only "workaround" is to let one single player to handle the character switching. Same for 3 players (but it's lesser a problem, I would say). We are talking about a Nintendo game. This is so dumb.

    I could list all the other problems, but making basic game design flaws that no other indie football game will never have reveal the mess this game is.

    So, why am I giving this such a low score? Read on & see why.

    First off, the game has no content. It's you, the AI & Online mode. That's it. There are cup tournaments to play through but good luck with that, because the recent update has made the game 10x harder. Preupdate, I could manage 5-10 goals per match. Post update, sometimes I can't even manage 1 goal. Now, this would be fair enough if the AI didn't constantly cheat against you like it does, especially in Cup modes, even worse on Galactic mode. I get that Galactic is supposed to be the 'hard' mode, but they literally made 'easy' mode the real 'hard' mode since the update & now 'hard' has become 'impossible' mode. So yea, seriously, good luck beating the cups & earning those coins that you need to buy the gear that you need just to stand a chance.

    Oh, yea that's another thing, you have to buy gear now with coins you earn, but the only decent way to earn those coins is by beating cup modes but you can't beat cup modes because they made it impossible so you can't get gear that you need to beat cup modes cause you can't beat cup modes. Hilarious, ain't it?

    The whole coin earning thing is the real problem with this game. Once you beat a cup, you can't earn coins from it anymore, at least not the same amount. Normal cups give 400 coins when you win the 1st time. After? An abysmal 50. Yep, they decided to make those coins a 1 time payout, forcing you to grind, grind, grind in a friggen' soccer game. Each piece of gear costs 100-300 coins each & they are all separate between characters. That means, a piece of gear you get for Mario will not work for anyone else, even though it's pretty much the exact same piece of gear.

    So, if you're like me & invested in 4 characters with a full set of 'Technique' gear, you are royally screwed. Know why? Cause they decided to nerf the technique stat with the newest update. HAHA! Good one, Nintendo. Ya got me. I spent $60 on your game only to have all that gold I spent be meaningless & now I can't earn any more gold cause you made the game 10x harder than it was when I bought it.

    Well, F me, right? So, they give me the middle finger by ruining my game, I give them the middle finger by giving them a 0 on Metacritic, f'ing D-bags.

Does this have a campaign? Oh that's right, there isn't one. This is clearly another unfinished product by Nintendo. When I pay $60, I expect a top notch AAA quality game that is actually finished. That is exactly what this game lacks.

    The graphics are a joke. It literally looks like a mobile game. The physics are terrible. The AI is incredibly stupid. The shadows are lazily designed in this game. It doesn't matter if it is daytime or nighttime, the shadows remain exactly the same. You can clearly see floodlights all over the stadium and it doesn't even have any effect on the shadows. Not even EA would be that cheap and lazy to not bother implementing accurate floodlight shadow effects. The customization is laughable. Lack of content. Toad is so underpowered. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought this was supposed to be a soccer game. The "soccer field" is roughly the same size as a basketball court. That is pathetic and so is the gameplay mechanics.

    The online multiplayer is complete trash. I was hyped to play 4v4 online with my friends, only to find out that I can't even play 4v4 online. Are you freaking kidding me? To make matters worse, you can't even spectate. It is insane to me that a masterpiece like Rocket League has 4v4 online, spectator mode, and a much larger field for free. That is biblical. Meanwhile, this game has none of that and the greedy developers had the audacity to charge $60 for this glorified Mario Party minigame. This outrageous greed infuriates me. I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Less content than the previous 2 strikers. CPU is pretty cheap (opposing team goalie actually blocks most of the time, yours barely ever will). I've played all the cups and literally never got a single Starman. While playing the final cup the last opposing team got a Starman after every made shot and made 100 percent of shots taken. My team would walk away from items so the other team always got it. I either go for ball and lose items only to get pummeled by them or I go for item only for the opposing team to get a guaranteed shot because my goalie won't block it. The cpu isn't good or never gets any better. Your team is just dumb and the cpu who controls your team will leave man to man coverage so that the opposing team is always open and walk away from item drops too. My team cpu has literally been beside the hyper orb when it spawns and have actually walked away from it many times. In the cups it essentially always a 1 vs 7 with how much the cpu works against you. The cpu will also target the player controlled character when you are off ball as well. You could control the furthest character from the ball and the closest cpu controlled character to you will still throw items and takle you. Logically that doesn't make sense so it just seems like it was designed to agress the player even if the player is already in a state where they couldn't possibly be a threat. This is probably the worst and laziest attempt at a mario game I have ever played. And that's saying something considering you can lose every mini game in mario party and still win or vice versa and lose. Expand

Does Nintendo think we all live in the same house. let us play online with our friends!

    The game is as bad as Pokemon unite. Japanese forget how to play games. You can see: capcom, square enix, koei tecmo... one game being worse than another and full of microtransactions. The community complains and they continue to do so in games. Have what? Mental problem for sure.

    Nintendo Keeps releasing their Sport titles purposely without all of it's content in the base game in order to slowly release it over time back to players as a way to try to keep the game relevant. I'm sorry but I will never support that. If you want a game to keep relevant with future updates release actual New Content and DLC not content that you purposely took out

Many of the Single player modes are gone, Characters that should be in the game right now. Nintendo thinks that they are being clever but they are just Destroying their name. In the past before Nintendo embraced online which they do horribly by the way. If you bought a Nintendo game it had the Nintendo Quality Seal of Approval on the case. That used to mean something. When you bought a game it was always the entire game and a high quality game. Again this Game is not a Complete Game, if you can track down older Mario Striker Games you'd be better off playing those. I'll never buy this game.

    Just like any modern Mario spin off game: a couple of new features added, but everything else removed.

    This game has nothing interesting to offer. It's a nerfed version of the GameCube version, even when it comes to it's uniques mechanics that made the series so fun.

    The horror:

    - The gameplay is slower, like transitioning from melee to brawl.
    - The controls are messed up. They tried to adapt the classic controller into the modern one, without understanding how the original worked in the first place. The GameCube/Wii one used the A button as the central button for passes and combos, letting you perform multiple deffensive and offensive strategies simultaneously. This one feels like a cheap version of the fifa games controls.
    - Tackling and sliding are mixed into one action, that needs to be charged in order to execute it. This just makes the game more predictable, slower and way less violent. - characters have stamina. Really? What's the point in making everything slower, this used to be a really fast paced game.
    - There are less items, that are simpler (no triple shells/bombs or random explosions, multiple bananas). They cannot be switched, and cannot be used for defending the ball. (Items always go forward, so if you have someone on your tail trying to tackle you, you cannot throw the item backwards)
    - items now come in boxes, that again, makes everything slower.
    - You cannot control the goalie
    - Hyper strikes are now a luck/chance event, which are really easy to pull of correctly. In the old days, super strikes were hard to pull off, and were used to humiliate your opponent whenever you had the chance. Now it's just annoying.
    - You cannot sabotage a hyper strike. There's no shaking the opponent's meter, or using a last minute tackle/item/explosion to prevent it. The turned the hyper strike into a random chance and very boring minigame with a really long animation that gets old real fast. - Characters stats are worthless, no significant upgrades except on strength tackling, whichs sucks.

    The bad:
    - Character selection and stats are very poor. It's pretty much the same gameplay with every character. - No single player content, other than unlocking perks and gear that do nothing. No cups or trophies, nothing. - No cups or tournament options when it comes to multiplayer, just "quick matches". If you play with 3 or more people, you need to manually keep track of the scores and matchmaking if you wanna do a tournament style gameplay.
    - CPU isn't really hard. It's like professional-superstar level on the original, or level 3 in charged. For an experienced Mario strikers player, the only challenge is overcoming the controls and limitations (such as defensive items and fast paced stealing, or lack thereof).
    - All stages feel and play the same, not even a difference in sound design.
    - There are no character themes like on charged, just generic rock bg themes.

    Neutral: - The game doesn't keep track of the last used match settings, and takes a while to load between matches. Rematch screen puns were also removed.
    - Practice mode is time limited
    - No cheat system or unclockables of that kind.
    - Music is ok.

    The good:
    - You can manual toggle and control the characters that don't have the ball. This is very useful for doing one timer shots.
    - charging the ball has good potential, and feels smooth. Gives it somewhat a skill based gameplay an advantage. TL:DR Get the GameCube/Wii version. The GameCube one feels a little closer to this one (just a little).

    This game is really lacking in content, at best in the state it is released it could be a free-to-play game. I would never recommend a game in this state at the price point of 60 bucks, maybe in a year when Nintendo adds more game modes, a variety of stages like the older games, and more than 10 characters.

    also, why can't i skip (or at least speed up) the hyper strike animation? as gorgeous as they may be, after you've seen each of them 30 times it gets very annoying.

    and why can't i play the cup mode without items or hyperstrikes (the original game allowed that).

    Let's talk about the online. I see alot of people complain about splatoon2 because they "can't" play with their friends but there is battle league... There they can play as 2 and roflstomp any solo player. Let me explain : first, the 2 players win all the box. Secondary, one stand in front of opponent goal and the other just spam the perfect aerial passe so the solo player have 2 choices :
    - switching character to tackle the player in front of the goal then superstrike
    - or trying to chase the unstoppable perfect aerial passe leading to a goal
    Let's talk about the club mode. You can't create your own club and join an another club. If you create your own club, you can customise the stadium but you won't have people joining you. Then in club mode, the match will be 1 character full geared with 3 random character with 0 gear and you will be facing full team geared. What's the point to unlock gear with solo content if you can't use it for the competitive mode? The solution is to subscribe to familial nintendo online and create 4 account to play club mode... This game is PAY-TO-WIN !!! They don't say it in their video or demo. If you join a club well... like animal crossing as 4 on 1 save you don't enjoying it. The online don't support 4vs4... wait... apparently you need 2 guys on 1 console + 2 on other console and you have to face 2 guys on 1 console + 2 other on an other console to do 4vs4 in online... 2022.

    You can only play with a max of 2 consoles online. I have 3 other friends with the game and we can't even play together. For a game that has basically zero story mode and is all online game play they really **** up the online modes. There is 4 characters per team but only 2 consoles are allowed to connect so the other 2 characters just get randomized. Me and friends will be returning the game.

    CPU at Galactic difficulty is a frustrating experience, not something I would recommend to anyone.
    Considering it's the only offline experience I can't recommend the game at its current state.
    The online experience with friends is also severely lacking, playing 4v4 with friends is not working as advertised.
    Gameplay is solid, but it's a game not ready to be enjoyed as is it.

    Was a big fan of previous games in the series, but sadly this is a massive let down.
    The sum of the offline content can be completed in a couple of hours. A day at a push if you're getting particularly frustrated by the badly tuned AI.
    After that you have online only. In which you'll constantly have to leave and queue again if playing solo because the game thinks you want to play 1v2.

When you do eventually get to play, it's close to identical teams due to the small roster. There's not enough to entertain for a long time once you realise it's just queue for the same matchup played the same way again and again for no reason other than a game at a time.
    More content is allegedly coming via DLC but whether there'll be people waiting for it is questionable. It's kind of like a mobile game in reverse - where instead of hooking you with free, addictive gameplay to have you paying through the nose later for more content; instead the game mugs you in an alley for full sticker price, bores you quickly and wonders if it can lure you back with drip feeding at some unspecified point.
    Good luck if you think you'll just pick it up later when there might be content - it's a competitive game at heart, but the lack of a real ladder/rating means any newcomer will get matched into what small community does stick with the game i.e. the hardcore.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has the most awful online mode I've every experienced. The whole gameplay is based around luck and not skill. When you score 3 goals your opponent immediately gets a star and a charge orb and scores 2 goals and you can't do anything about it. The goal keeper is either the best keeper ever or the worst you ever get, it's just random. The worst of all is that when you play alone your 3 other characters do nothing except running around like dumb **** And when you want to switch to a specific player that has a good positioning on the field you can't directly switch to the character, you have to go through every **** member in your team until you finally have the one you want.

    When you play this strikers team mode bull**** you can't even choose from the whole character roster when your club hasn't enough members, the game rather chooses a random character with no equipment.

    I almost broke my switch in half after losing 10 games in a row because of this stupid luck based bull****. I hate everything about this game and not even the CPU trophy mode **** is fun. I've beaten every team in this mode and collected every trophy and the only thing you unlock is a new armor. You not even get a special item or character after beating the „galatic mode“. 0/10 I would not recommend this game to anyone.

The game doesn't feel fun at all and feels waaaaay too uncomfortable and complex. Has too many new complicated mechanics and the team tackle is hardly ever used. The new shooting mechanic sucks with the whole aiming with the left stick. I just don't like how they made that a thing in here and make it feel so bad. 10 characters only... and no sidekicks... The hyper orb should not have been a thing. There are no more special items that every character gets of their own. Edgyness has been toned down extremely. Charged shots suck now too. The new changed controls don't feel good either and it doesn't help the fact that we can't change the button layout. The character intros are soooo underwhelming. The stages are smaller in this game. They're purposely giving free DLC soon but it's just straight drip-feeding us content to "make the game last longer" but in reality that just makes consumers unhappy. There is no campaign and they decided to use "still cams" for the scenes in which they show the character's animations which makes it really really boring when in Charged they made it seem like they were actually being broadcasted making it really exciting. Don't get me wrong though, the animations and the looks of this game are so damn good but sadly, it's all very lacking in how much of it they actually made. I was extremely excited when this game was announced because I absolutely love the Strikers games and pre-ordered this game as soon as it was available.

The conclusion is, they were greety at level 100 and released the absolut minimum for a game to get people hyped (selling the name of the success of the older games) so they could get their money.

    muchos no todos los que se quejaron de este juego van a culpar a next level games pero no fue del todo su culpa ya que resulta que este desastroso resultado fue culpa de nintendo, lanzar el juego a 60 dolares, como tambien no mostrar casi nada del juego, no dar nada recompensante por jugar offline ya que quieren que se juegue mas online de offline y los servidores tambien son otromuchos no todos los que se quejaron de este juego van a culpar a next level games pero no fue del todo su culpa ya que resulta que este desastroso resultado fue culpa de nintendo, lanzar el juego a 60 dolares, como tambien no mostrar casi nada del juego, no dar nada recompensante por jugar offline ya que quieren que se juegue mas online de offline y los servidores tambien son otro problema, es un juego visualmente atractivo pero es completamente aburrido tiene potencial pero nintendo lo ha estado barriendo debajo de la alfombra y por eso muchos al igual que yo hemos perdido la confianza en nintendo y deja en duda que pasara con metroid prime 4 si es que nintendo sigue fingiendo que no existe, y zelda breath of the wild 2 Expand

    No Daisy, like seriously? How do they take the queen out of the game? Nintendo needs to get their game up.

    Everything is awful about this game but visuals and music... This price should be around 5$

    Remember when Nintendo actually put thought and effort into their games and didn't sell this Steam Early Acess tier **** Yeah that time is long gone now. I'm not exaggerating when I say the demo for the game gives you the exact same experience as the full game. You experience the whole thing within about an hour. Insane

    Annoying gameplay, small fields, and very few characters. It would also have been great if you could assign your team's positions like the previous one.

    Highway robbery. $60 for a Mario Strikers far worse than the original. My least favourite aspect is that you cannot pick your own team for online; you have to use teammates, usually random people, who are in your club. And if you got the game later? Good luck finding people to join who have characters you want to play in online. You're at a huge disadvantage every time.

I just want to play Mario Soccer, but this game stands in your way at every turn. The gear is laughable, the roster hardly any more interesting than the original, and the item pool far less fun. It's so watered down. Nintendo has been half-assing it for a while now, but I've bought plastic cups for cheaper that have made a longer lasting impression than this game. This might be the worst installment of a sports game in a mario series. I sincerely hope they update it, because every time I waste $60 on Nintendo's garbage, I become $60 closer to snapping. Don't buy this game if you love yourself or love mario or love nintendo; it's a hogwash of underpaid developers meeting a quota, and the day this game dies or updates is the day the world can start healing. Do yourself a favour and spend $60 on gas or a lobotomy, because you'll probably have more fun :)

    Also, *1* unlockable piece of gear? You spoil us Nintendo, truly. Truly, truly, truly.

    It's a great game if you don't want to play too long against a pretty erratic AI. It's disappointing to not be able to control the goalie as well. The online features are excellent. Plus there's the promise of an expanding range of available Nintendo characters for free. A perfect choice for parties. [Issue#320]

    I was really looking forward to Mario Strikers: Battle League, and for the most part it has been a worthy successor, but it’s a little hampered by the complexity of the gameplay. Even scoring goals can be a bit difficult overall. Soccer is definitely not known for high-scoring affairs but it is simply too difficult to score goals in the time allotted. This does seem to be different from what I remember in the previous games. It was a bit easier to score goals and that is definitely missed. There’s a balance that sports games need to strike, but Battle League does tend to be just a bit more difficult. Still, there is a lot to love about Mario Strikers: Battle League, but it almost made me want a remaster of the first two games more than anything.

    Nostalgia is a dangerous thing. In our memories, 'Super Mario strikers' on our Gamecube was the best of the best, unmatched and wonderful. Fair is not fair, as it sets the bar extremely high for 'Mario strikers battle league'. But there's more: this game feels like it's not quite finished.
