Mario Strikers: Battle League is getting a special demo event ahead of its upcoming release that will allow players to try out one of the game’s online modes a week early. This “First Kick” event will feature the Quick Battle game mode, and players will have the option to jump into matches solo or with friends.
The action kicks off on Friday, June 3rd, but players will only be able to access the game during specific time slots. After the final time slot closes, players will no longer be able to access online matches until the full game is released. The time slots are:
· June 3rd: 8 pm – 9 pm PT
· June 4th: 4 am – 5 am PT
· June 4th: 12 pm – 1 pm PT
· June 4th: 8 pm – 9 pm PT
· June 5th: 4 am – 5 am PT
· June 5th: 12 pm – 1 pm PT
The First Kick demo is available to download from the Nintendo eShop now, and players who jump in early can access training missions that go over the fundamentals of Mario Strikers: Battle League. Each mission ends with a special test that challenges players to utilize each of their newfound skills a certain number of times before the timer runs out.
Mario Strikers: Battle League will launch on June 10th, 2022, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch. For more on the game, check out how new skills and gear can affect the outcome of each match.
