Nintendo Switch Adds Another GameCube Classic On July

Nintendo is expanding Switch 2's slim GameCube library with another classic next week. The beloved arcade soccer game Super Mario Strikers will join the lineup on July 3.

Originally released in 2005, Super Mario Strikers is a fast-paced soccer game starring an assortment of iconic Mario characters. Like other Mario sports titles, the game features numerous arcade elements, including items like banana peels that can be used to trip up your opponent, as well as powerful special shots that are worth two goals if successfully executed.

Super Mario Strikers would go on to spawn two sequels. Mario Strikers Charged launched for the Wii in 2007, while Mario Strikers: Battle League was released on the Switch back in 2022.
