A new trailer for Mario Strikers: Battle League has just been released, shedding some light on the upcoming title's gameplay modes. The soon-to-be-released over-the-top sports game has been gathering tons of hype from Nintendo fans, especially after the previous trailer for the game, which revealed Mario Strikers: Battle League's at-launch roster, along with additional details such as gear customization.

Nintendo offers a wide range of sports games, and while they all share some similarities with traditional, sim-type releases of the genre, they are always significantly more fantastical and inventive. The Mario Strikers franchise is no different, as players will take to the field to play a game of soccer that might appear predictable at first, but turns out to be anything but. Aside from the various inhuman players running across the pitch, the physics of Mario Strikers games are considerably more exaggerated and unrestricted than a sports game aiming for realism. There are also several gameplay mechanics and special abilities that add variety to each match and remove the games further from reality. The next entry in the series aims to take this approach even further, as the new Mario Strikers borrows elements from Mario Kart to serve up bombastic and wild gameplay.

Fans got to learn more about this gameplay in a trailer shared on the Nintendo UK YouTube account. This trailer touches on a number of key features in Mario Strikers: Battle League, including the various game modes that players can engage with. As is to be expected, the game will feature both online and local multiplayer, but some gamers may be surprised to learn that a maximum of eight players can play on the same console at once. As for multiplayer, players can create or join custom clubs, increasing their ranks by facing other groups. In an interesting twist, these matches will take place on fields that are a combination of each club's signature stadium.

The much-anticipated Mario Strikers: Battle League is a big part of Nintendo's absolutely packed 2022 release schedule, so maintaining excitement for the game is paramount. Luckily, that is likely what this trailer will achieve, as these game modes appear to be interesting, fun, and a good mix of both traditional and innovative elements.

More information is sure to be revealed regarding Mario Strikers: Battle League's unique takes on gameplay, customization, and multiplayer ahead of its release this summer. Until then, however, fans can rest assured that core game modes will be making a return, and that Nintendo will be serving up some much-welcomed creative and unique twists.
