oh jeeze been like 2 months since I did a review zone due to no new releases

https://opencritic.com/game/12903/mario-strikers-battle-league
https://www.metacritic.com/game/switch/mario-strikers-battle-league?ref=hp

Mid 70s average so far through 33 reviews. Sounds pretty similar to the other Mario sports games on Switch where the core gameplay is excellent, but there's a massive lack of modes or progression. You're there to play the sport game and that's about it. However I'm sure like the others it will also get more free content over time and could be a worthwhile purchase at that time.

Nintendo Life - 9/10
Battle League is a masterclass in competitive game design. What it lacks in options is more than made up for by just how much fun the game is, and its absolutely gorgeous to boot. As it stands it already feels like a complete product, but the promise of future updates down the line gives us even more to get excited about. If arcade sport action isnt your bag, itll likely do nothing to sway your opinion, but if you have even a passing interest in this kind of caper, Mario Strikers: Battle League is the best sports game on Switch right now.

IGN - 8/10
Mario Strikers: Battle League is an over-the-top soccer game thats wildly fun, even though it does very little new.

Game Informer - 7.5/10
Mario Strikers: Battle League may not be the ultimate version of the world's most popular sport, but its strategic matches, fun online modes, and energetic animations make for an enjoyable experience. While the single-player crowd may find the game a bit lacking, Nintendo's return to the pitch is bound to create the same triumphant highs, and friendship-ending lows the company's suite of other party titles is known for.

Gamespot - 7/10
Mario Strikers: Battle League is a thin package, without very much variety in terms of game modes and options. But it is a more technically complex game than many of the Mario sports titles, which may give it legs for dedicated players. Sports are all about proving your skill in head-to-head match-ups, and that will have to be enough, because there isn't much else to it.

WellPlayed - 7/10
Mario Strikers: Battle League Football excels on the field, but it struggles to make a compelling offer for solo players or anyone not willing to invest time in forming and maintaining a Strikers Club. It's just pick-up-and-play enough to work as a party game with mates and it's compelling to watch in action, but the lack of embellishments is sure to hurt its long-term appeal.

Twinfinite - 7/10
There's no doubt that fans of the franchise will enjoy jumping back in. The promise of a gradual release of new content will likely keep diehards of the series drawn in with each new announcement. Overall, Mario: Strikers Battle League is a good game that needs more to do. It may be a much better game a year from now, but right now it is noticeably lacking content.

Eurogamer - No Score
Battle League is, arguably, a more focused game - and ultimately likely the better representation of small-team football. Aside from the occaisonal frame-rate wobble, it is also slicker in presentation, and certainly hosts the most visual customisation seen in the series to date. But I don't really play Mario Strikers for football, in the same way I don't really play Rocket League for football either. I play Strikers - or I did, back on Wii - because it was a weird and very Mario version of football. To Battle League's detriment, it feels like there's less of that this time around.

Bakalar is a fine host, but imo Jan is a Ryan tier host so I think they made the right call

Gameplay loop according to IGN

"The flow of the game is basically: Explore open world > solve puzzles to open up map > find collectibles to improve stats > fight world bosses to earn portal gears > use portal gears to unlock linear Sonic levels > complete linear Sonic levels to unlock chaos emeralds

So the open zones are more like large hubs to more traditional sonic stages

I will not get one

And now I wait

poor jeff in tears over the entire situation nearing the end of the his first episode

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl - 1/25 Trophies Obtained!

Defeated an opponent without losing a single stock in an online battle

https://twitter.com/shineget64/status/1534228886673833985

Beat a kid 3-0 in my first online match.

at least the bots will have to go through the trouble of making a MyNintendo account

I imagine probably around the same time nintendo tweeted out this tweet

https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1534188466074005506

please don't steal my preorder

the drama thankfully isn't between Jeff and GB, but between Jeff and RedVentures

also I joked years ago that eventually my life would just be watching jeff gerstmann talking into a camera by himself until either he dies or I die

I guess we're finally here

there are reasons we know of, but he's currently under an NDA

Can't believe he brought the Magic Spoon sponsorship along with him

oh ya JEFF GERSTMANN EVENTUALLY REACTS TO THE STATE OF PLAY

already worth my $10

I assume it'll be on the patreon too

https://www.patreon.com/jeffgerstmann

launching his own patreon and a weekly podcast on itunes

telling his life story

Jeff is now live on twitch

Vinny is currently counterprogamming with more FF14

I should play ys ix

highly recommended

on PS5

where the load times are completely gone

https://twitter.com/NoisyPixelNews/status/1534185044314669056

oh ya give it me hopefully built off the new engine they're using for the Kuro Trails games

pivoting back into covering video games is really the best thing they could do as a website

the full video if you missed it

https://twitter.com/giantbomb/status/1534173582636589057

but yeah Gerstmann will be going live in about an hour if anyone wants to check it out

https://twitter.com/jeffgerstmann/status/1534174352270188545

it'll be nice to have Dan back in my life though because I almost never use Twitch to watch people

I might have to force myself to if I want to continue sticking with Gerstmann

well Jeff has been out getting his TMJ treated

maybe the timing of that just screwed it all up to do a goodbye stream

Yeah they did a dark summoning ritual and he said he quit WWE

Dan Ryckert returning to Giant Bomb

Jeff Grubb joining full time

Looks like Lucy and Tam too

you did the jumps

to be fair Big Mom did get a ton of back story, but she was kinda the outlier

Doflamingo kinda did indirectly through the Corazon flashback

as a last resort if nothing else you try works

might have to try booting it into safe mode and initialize the console or reinstall the system software from a USB stick

maybe last bumpo before the end of the poll

It is fun seeing people who maybe weren't around for the first month long break before the time skip wondering how they can even continue living without any one piece chapters for a month

*continues waiting into month 10 for JoJoLands*

my time table has always said 2027

right on track

Oh yeah it's a long shot for sure but I'd still like to see the possibility

At least they try to explain it by saying your death was sudden And earlier than it should been
