It’s been 15 years since the last time we had the opportunity to enjoy Mario Strikers. A title that was missed that undoubtedly returns in a masterful way, now on Nintendo Switch. Our iconic plumber returns to the sports world with a very entertaining titleespecially if your idea is to share it with friends.
It is not necessary that you have played the previous installments, the game will catch you without a doubt. In this game you will have two teams (of five players each counting the goalkeeper) and in which you have to put the ball in the opposite goal. In that it is like “football” but it goes further. There are many things here that will not be fouls: using your hands or hitting our opponents to steal the ball from them is allowed. In fact, there are not even out-of-bands, since the limits of the stage are made up of an electrified fence.
game dynamics
The madness, strength and entertainment that a video game deserves. It’s a strange mix between wrestling and soccer. If you did not play its previous version, the Rocket League video game can give you a slight reference. Although objects will also appear, Mario Kart style or Smash style. Anyway, Nintendo magic.
Here practice makes perfect. Once you get used to the controls, the dynamic gameplay of Mario Strikers draws you in. You will be able to make passes at ground level like a champion, but also aerial and gap passes, being able to control their intensity and position. Plays at the first touch, control the effect and power of our shots, charge, dribble, run, cancel charge actions and even use our teammates as a weapon to push them and attack with more power to steal the ballare part of the charm of this video game.
