Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Announced in a Nintendo Direct earlier this year, Mario Strikers: Battle League Football will be making its way to Switch consoles on 10 June 2022.

The original Super Mario Strikers was first released on the Gamecube way back in 2005 and made a return on the Wii in Mario Strikers Charged in 2007. However, since then we haven’t heard much about the series, until now.

It looks like a return to “combat football” that puts emphasis on over-the-top goal-scoring, power-ups and aggressive plays that would get you carded pretty quickly if you were to try them in real life.

The game will also boast up to eight players in local multiplayer as well as a “club mode” where up to 20 players can join the same club online and compete with other teams around the world.

We’ve rounded up all the best pre-order deals we’ve been able to find from a number of different retailers, including ones that come with some nice extras. To find out where to get the best deals on Mario Strikers: Battle League Football, then keep reading below.
