Get back on the pitch with Super Mario Strikers, coming to Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo Classics

Last night, Nintendo announced that the classic extreme soccer game, Super Mario Strikers, is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 via the Nintendo GameCube - Nintendo Classics app on July 3rd.

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!

Plus, obtain familiar items, like shells and mushrooms, to add to the chaos and give yourself a boost during matches. But the real key to winning is the Super Strike: a powerful shot that can net you two points at once! Hone your techniques, deal out big hits and even unleash Chain Chomp onto the field as you aim to score a goal – and crush the opposition. With simple controls, anyone can hit the pitch while playing solo, and in local and online multiplayer matches for up to four players.

Additionally, players can make some waves while playing games from the Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics library with a classic-style controller designed after the original. This dedicated wireless Nintendo GameCube controller has modern features like the C-Button, which can open GameChat, and the Capture Button. The Nintendo GameCube controller is only compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 system and is available for purchase by paid Nintendo Switch Online members.
