You know what? I'm biased. You are not gonna get an even remotely objective review of this game from me. This is the only football game I give two shits about and the last Mario sports game actually worth playing that I am going to be talking about.

I adore everything about this game. Its presentation, its characters, super abilities, field desing and gimmicks, the music the personality and uniqueness compared to all the same sanitized stuff that we see in Mario games over and over again.

I love that every character in this game is just either cocky or furious the entire time, it just encapsulates that energy, adrenalin and anger that football players actually feel while on the field. I don't like to play that shit but I've seen people react to this sport, both playing it and simply watching it; I live next to a couple of football fields and I can confirm this, those motherfuckers never shut the fuck up, I hate them so much.

This game made me fear Bowser, fall for Peach, love Luigi, and hate Daisy for beating me in the very last game of a tournament once (She a baddie tho). There just isn't any other Mario spin off that portrays these characters with as much level of personality and charisma as this game does ...I don't think I ever expected to see Mario growl like that.

Outside of that, this is just a football game with a Mario flair on top and it is plain and simply too much fun because of that. I don't like football or soccer or whatever the fuck you wanna call it irl...But when my characters are being crushed, electrocuted, flying in the wind and the opponent is throwing giant fucking shells and shooting 10 balls from the sky...It's just like...I mean...HOW CAN I NOT BE INVESTED?!

The only real downside to this game is playing it with the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, as well as maybe the motion controls, but I don't really care. This game is just too much fun and I miss it every day, because it NEVER GOT A SEQUEL.

If I hate Switch Sports, I absolutely despise Mario Strikers Battle League and everything it did to this franchise. People who never got to play the original Strikers or this one, first experienced this series with the most mediocre, souless and bland Mario Strikers game in the whole series, and now they believe the rest of the games are just as mid.

If Battle League has a million haters, I'm one of them. If Battle League has one hater, it's me. If Battle League has 0 haters, I have died. If the world is against Battle League, I am with the world. If the world is for Battle League I am against the world.

Fuck you Nintendo, I hate you for what you did to this series with your god awful sub-par Mario sports games on the Switch, I hope you DIE.





So yeah, game good heheheehehh ❤️
