    ADVERTENCIA: Este juego se hizo 100% para jugarse en modo multijugador, como casi todos los juegos de deportes de Mario, si lo juegas solo no vas a disfrutar del todo el potencial del juego.

    Dejando esto en claro, Mario Strikers: Battle League es un juego divertidísimo, una vez que le agarras bien la onda, pasaras horas y horas disfrutando el modo online con partidas con cero LAG, algo que me sorprende bastante de Nintendo, ya que muchos de sus juegos son bazofia en este apartado. Tiene puntos malos como la poca cantidad de personajes que hay para escoger o los pocos modos de juego, pero se espera que vayan actualizando el juego y metiendo personajes poco a poco, en verdad lo recomiendo mucho, lo pasaras bastante guay.    … Expand

    This game is exactly what I was hoping for in a sequel to Charged. The mechanics in this game are finely tuned and they feel very, very good.

This game really nailed down the mechanics so you'd enjoy playing it over and over again - not unlike other popular online games like Rocket League. In terms of online play, it's so much better than its' predecessor's. There isn't an established meta of just using Boo, Dry Bones, and Hammer Bros like there was in Charged - a lot of the very gimmicky things from Charged have been subbed for more balanceable mechanics now, and you can customize your roster to have the strengths that you want on your team.

    Really, really well made game. Only complaint is that you can't do 4v4 with 8 switches, it only works with 4. I don't have 3 other friends that want to play this game competitively with me so that's a non-issue, but if you're looking for that, you won't get it. Maybe in an update later.

    For single player, the galactic cups really offer a challenge similar to Strikers Charged's Striker Cups. Very rewarding and infuriating just like the old game. Probably less infuriating now actually since you don't have to deal with the stupid stage gimmicks where they just decide to destroy your Dry Bones until the next goal.    … Expand

    I'm glad daisy isn't in this game. ever since daisy got in smash and waluigi didn't, the daisy fans have been acting all high and mighty. it's about time someone knocked them off their high horse. also, nice soccer game.

    I'm giving this a higher score to balance the negativity a bit, but I'd have given it a 7,5 or so, it's not the greatest game ever made, but it never set out to be. Saying 10 characters, which is without free DLC, isn't a lot and the game is therefore bad is basically like saying your delicious ice-cream wasn't big enough and therefore it wasn't nice.

    Daisy isn't in the game at launch. Daisy is the reason all Mario games are bad. Mario Tennis Aces has Daisy, no one likes it, Mario Golf: Super Rush has Daisy, no one likes it. But this game finally doesn't include Daisy, and its rthe best Mario Sports game in over a decade.

    The series has finally managed to escape from its casual mood. We finally have a truly competitive Mario Striker. Despite this, I love the previous chapters.

    Man, this game is amazing! I have more than 50 hours of gameplay. For me the game just need a bit more of avaliable content and be a little cheaper, but the fun is amazing, the funniest sports game that I've ever played for sure. Also, the graphics are awsome

    Best sports game on Nintendo Switch. There is actually depth to the gameplay. I love that the game is easy to learn but hard to master.

    Personally, it does not bother me that there is no season or story mode. Online play is what matters to me.

    After 15 years, Nintendo has brought this game back from the dead.
    The game looks and plays great too I'll even go so far as to say that it has better gameplay than Fifa and even Fifa itself I can take a liking to especially in terms of annual release and pay to win.

    Only now comes the negative part of the game: The single player content is one of them. There are only 12 trophies to get in total. 6 beginners to advanced, that's what I want to call them first and then 6 galaxy trophies professional champions.
    There are only 10 characters and that's pretty weak because the more important characters like Bowser Jr. and Daisy are completely missing in the game.
    In addition, there are only 5 stadiums, which is very little for a €60 game.
    You can't complain about the multiplayer, the idea with the Strikers Club that you can create your own club and then try to become the best club in the seasons that are to come and later scour for rewards is a huge plus.
    In the end I have to say that it's not worth 60€ for this content and you don't have to change anything about it, but all in all the game is a good game for what it wants to be    … Expand

    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.
