The GameCube library for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack will be expanding by a game starting tomorrow, July 3, 2025. That’s when Super Mario Strikers will be hitting the service, exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2. If you’ve never seen this arcade, Mario-inspired take on soccer, give it a look in this trailer:
Here’s what Nintendo has to say about the game:
The first title in the Mario Strikers series and originally released for the Nintendo GameCube system in 2005, Super Mario Strikers is an extreme soccer game where anything goes. Select your captain from Mushroom Kingdom mainstays like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario and Waluigi, and jump into a bevy of modes like Grudge Match, Cup Battles and Custom Battles. In this arena, matches unfold with white-hot speed and intensity, and with no referees to dish out penalties, the only thing containing the mayhem is the electrified fence that surrounds the field!
If you’ve never played any of the Mario Strikers games, they’re pretty good, zany fun, especially when playing with friends. As ever, if you’re interested in giving this Switch Online-exclusive a play, you’ll need an active Expansion Pack subscription to partake. Will you be playing Super Mario Strikers this week? Tell us below and online!
