Mario Strikers Battle League gameplay
All the chaos that you would expect to take place when Mario and co take to the pitch will be present and accounted for in Mario Strikers Battle League - so get ready to send the opposing team flying all over the place again with various attacks including tornados!
But with a launch on a newer console comes some new controls and features for this latest instalment. Characters can be customised now and the changes you make to things like gear will have an impact on how well they perform on the field - a fun extra layer to the madness of these games.
