According to dataminer Jack on Twitter, a dozen other stars should come to fill the ranks of Mario Strikers Battle League Football, without it being known for the moment who will be the choice of the developers. In previous opuses (Super Mario Strikers on GameCube, Mario Strikers Charged Football on Wii), Nintendo did not hesitate to seek the services of Daisy, Birdo, Boo, Marto Brothers, Maskass, or even Koopa. In short, there is plenty to do, knowing that the Kyoto firm can very well call on stars from other licenses.

In addition, future updates should not be limited to characters, and it’s a safe bet that new game modes and other bonuses will also be offered. For the record, Mario Strikers Battle League Football is expected for June 10 on Nintendo Switch.
