Mario Strikers: Battle League - Opening Movie - Nintendo Switch

Super Mario series mainstays like Peach, Toad, and Yoshi put their cleats (and stats) to the pitch and will stop at nothing to score…even if it means getting a little rough! Get gritty and try to score the most goals by tackling enemies and pulling off score-boosting Hyper Strikes. Take the carnage online* or pass the ball to players locally**—just look out for the electric fence!

these designs go so hard, we need more of this Nintendo

Everyone's complaining about the lack of Daisy, and while I agree that that is disheartening, I'm more sad about the Kremlings being fired as goalies. They put in some good work dang it

[alexswag]

We can all agree that this opening is still thrilling but it doesn't has the same level of adrenaline as in Mario Strikers Charge

I love how bowser always sets the ball on fire, just to be skrewed out of the move just like Strikers Charged😂

[Mr.FroggyFrog]

This is so cool, but we need a few things:
1-
2- Bowser Jr
3- Chargin' Chuck
4- Petey Piranha

I really do love the Top 10 Anime Battles illustrations here in the intros and during the Hyper Strike animations. Well done! Playing on Day 1 :D

I wish the opening intro was as hype as the Wii version but regardless still looks great and looking forward to play the game ☺️

"Super Mario series mainstays like Peach, Toad, and Yoshi..."
But not Daisy?

[Shellters]

The drawn artstyle in the opening and Hyper Shots looks amazing! Good job Nintendo.

Strikers: I think I forgot something
Nintendo: If you forgot then it wasn't important.
Strikers: Yeah, you're right
Daisy:

God please don't let this game die. Update it constantly, add new characters, add story mode, my brother in Christ do whatever it takes.
I'm not gonna stand idle and let another mario sports game be released just so it can be forgotten within the first 2 weeks

My feelings are so mixed on this. On one hand, it looks amazing in terms of presentation; on the other hand, there are few characters and only 4 players on a team. WHERE'S MY GIRL DAISY, NINTENDO!?

It is so great to finally see the opening. We saw many clips of it throughout the trailers we got, but this intro is really badass. Can’t wait to get the game

[meebolover]

Ok so I have to assume this will be like Mario golf and they’ll randomly just start adding characters after launch, but I really wouldn’t have expected a lack of Daisy.

It’s not just that she was the most popular character of the old games, but the fact that she has been included in every sports game since the first Mario tennis by default. She’s not a throw away character, the sport games are kind of her games, they’re what made her character grow. Having her not there feels just wrong.

[DrCoeloCephalo]

Donkey Kong and Bowser putting their hands on the ball has gotta be a penalty lol.
Still kinda annoyed by Kremlings getting replaced by Boom Boom and Daisy not seeming to be part of the roster. Don't give me some theort that they can add her as DLC. She was part of the base game before. Why change that?

[yovis]

This is the kind of animation we need for the upcoming mario movie

[jamnnjelly]

If Daisy was in the roster there wouldn't be NEARLY as many people complaining about the roster. They dropped the ball bruh...

[Nathanieltan]

This is like going back to the 2000s again!

[TheShadowhog]

We need more characters the roster feels so small especially compared to the other Mario sports titles

[natealberda]

I freaking love Yoshi in this. He doesn't do much, but what a show off
