The game will see fans able to select stat-boosting gear and use powerful Hyper Strikes to score multiple goals at once. Plus, with online play available and the ability to create your own Online Club, you can face off against other players across the world or in the comfort of your own home.
Thankfully that Venn diagram of Mario fans and soccer aficionados won’t have too long to wait before they can play it, with the game launching early in the summer. Anyone wishing to pit Mario and friends against each other in the so-called beautiful game will be able to pick it up on Switch. Pre-orders are already open on the Nintendo eShop.
