News: Mario’s next adventure on the soccer field is only a few weeks away and this new trailer showcases some of what you can expect.

Nintendo has just released a new trailer for their upcoming title, Mario Strikers: Battle League. The game is currently slated to be released on June 10th and features Strike, the five-on-five sport that encourages mayhem and doing whatever it takes to win. It is similar to soccer if soccer had an electric fence and no rules. The new trailer has additional gameplay details, including all the ways you can thwack, zap and dropkick your opponents on your way to victory.

In Mario Strikers: Battle League, players can select among familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong and Toad, and play locally with up to eight players or take on the competition online. Players can use a Team Tackle to help a teammate cover extra ground or knock down opponents. Or snatch a Strike Orb to try to unleash a Hyper Strike for two points. Strike has no fouls – so you can make the other team wish they never crossed cleats with you.

The rules may be non-existent, but protection is paramount. While the game is easy to pick up and play, you can deploy deeper strategies by donning flashy gear that can be equipped to boost your stats, which will vary between characters, including increased speed and shooting for more scoring potential, or up their strength to resist tackles. Each character also has their own signature Striker Style to discover.

Once you’re geared up, you can gather your fearsome friends together in the online-only Strikers Club mode. In this mode, you can create your own club with up to 20 strikers or join an existing one, then compete against other clubs to gain points and shove your way up the rankings each season. Club owners can customize their club’s uniform and will also earn tokens after each match, which can be used to customize the club stadium.

Check out the trailer below and then tell us what you think. Mario Strikers: Battle League will be released on June 10th. Will you be picking it up?
