There were a billion “all battle league animations” videos when the game came out but something I noticed was never mentioned was the animations for combo moves. Theres like 9 ways a character takes a shot depending on what side they receive the ball from
I've seen many people found Battle League as their least favorite Mario Strikers. Not helping that Boom-booms perform the worst as goalkeepers. They prefer the kritters
From the look of things, the biggest thing that got neutered is that aggression from previous games. Like, everyone in Charged just looked like they were SEETHING in anger.
I do believe in a patch, they buffed Boom Boom's Goalie capabilities. Animations are good, but not enough to keep this game alive for more than a week...in hours.
@@Da_ComputerMonster I can deal with the nerfed "aggression". The first mario strikers on gamecube also wasnt as "edgy/aggressive" as strikers charged on wii but this game has a lot more other issues. For starters the obvious one is lack of content, less items than even the first game, lack of characters, stadiums have no gimmicks and even then all fields are grass and all look samey. The fields are also too small. Theres no variety at all. But even gameplay wise AI teammates suck and as OP mentioned boom boom sucks as a golie and is way too inconsistent. Sometimes he fails to block weak garbage shots from mid field(actually quite often) and other times he blocks super powerful shots from good position making it almost feel rng. The way hyperstrikes work is also unfair because sometimes one team just consistently keeps geting hyperstrikes while other team doesnt and its a lot harder to prevent hyperstrikes because of the slow mo BS and if opponent with hyperstrike has items theres nothing you can do to stop it and its 2 easy goals. Also the fact that you cant play 4v4 online (well you kind of can but its so complicated it never happens) which would fix the issue with shitty AI teammates but no not possible to have 3 teammates online from 3 different switches. The core gameplay mechanics are actually good(minus the way hyperstrike works), I like the perfect moves and the fact that you can team tackle teammates. But its the other issues I just mentionned above that ruin the game.
I wouldn't say worst, just underutilized. From my online experience I never had co op, I was always the only one on my team every match, so it was always just using the other members' characters
@@alejoperdo174 doesn't have as much character as charged or even the original, just more characters. (maybe because those were either older so it had more of a reason to stand out, the idea was fresher, or because it was from a different era)
Yeah, using your head in football (screw anyone who calls it "soccer", you use your feet to move the ball so it's football) is considdered legal, unlike some of the other characters blatantly using their hands.
Unlikely, pretty much every Switch sports game released like this. Barely any content, missing features from the previous entries, overpriced, underwhelming ‘dev cycle’ to extend game life without substantially adding to the game in any way. This is just how Nintendo does sports games now, very small titles with a likely pretty small budget to give you a couple daysof a pretty fun game before you get bored and want to do something else
I’m glad to see Battle League get some attention! I like this game! End of video edit: This is a rare time where I am more in agreement with Nick than I am with Brent.
@@multilad816 actually no. I think aces actually was really good. The gameplay was incredibly solid, it actually had unique modes and courts, and the story mode was really awesome
@@jaredtheastralartist2510 This is something I fully agree with. I honestly think people are adding some revisionist history to Tennis Aces. Granted it doesn't help when Super Rush and this game flopped hard, but Tennis Aces has a lot to do.
You guys are right. It's so sad this was their last game. At least Charles Martinet went out with Mario +Rabbids Sparks of Hope for both Mario and Luigi.
@@cailieisidro5758Nick has eyes for both Wario and Daisy Conclusion: He swings both ways (including a /jk just in case bc I know how some of y’all get)
I think the only thing Battle League has going for it is the character animations for goals, other teams' goals, victories, and hyper strikes. The hyper strikes' animations are especially good because they can get you hyped up for a mid game (Rosalina's especially).
It was first announced on a Nintendo Direct like 4 or 5 months ago; heck just last month there has been a bunch of preview footage and an Overview Trailer for Jamboree! Either you have been living under a rock or have been very occupied with other things going on in your life.
@@amarillodragon2702 yeah, it's weird honestly, I watch/listen to RUclips pretty regularly during work and I never got any ads for Joker 2 (Which I only learned was a thing about A week ago) I only saw 1 ad for Deadpool and wolverine, but that's about it! I never saw any promotion for Nintendo direct besides hearing about the Zelda game.
Blud mentions Birdo holding the ball in their mouth. Fails to mention Wario literally HOLDING THE SOCCER BALL ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!??? Ima have to bring a real ref onto this field and kick both these players off the team for holding the ball.
I am asking, if not begging for you guys to play Strikers Charged on Party Crashers. That game is so goated and it would be hilarious to see the others' reaction to that game.
This game…how could I forget it ain’t Mario Party without bad minigames of all the games to get “DLC updates” it was this one & Switch Sports not Superstars… & It’s BASE ROSTER if it was a 1v1 Fighting game or stuck to Strikers tradition of picking minions that would’ve been 1 thing but 4v4 where the “Roster” is your squad congrats you made FEW look like MVC2!
Damn, I kinda forgot just how bad Battle League's gameplay is compared to it's older brothers. To the casual viewer, this might not seem all that different if you were to put them side by side, but it absolutely is the stinker of the series, especially since you can never keep track of the ball, even though there's a white UI circle on the ground to show where it is and who has it. Charged did it best by having the ball emit light, so you always knew where it was.
Despite it being a deception compared to the other Strikers game, it was really fun and i genuinely couldnt stop laughing watching the video. You should play that game more often on the channel ^^ Or at least the others strikers game
YO, thanks for uploading this on my birthday! Even though it isn’t one of Nintendo’s best games, I’m definitely not complaining! I think this also happened in one of your Lethal Company videos five months ago
Speaking of Mario sports games, Mario golf for the switch is pretty underrated. It’s got online play, 100’s of different courses, a fun story mode, a good online ranking system, lots of fun characters and WAAAAAAAAAAARIO.
Battle League is 3rd place in it's franchise at the moment, no matter how good it is. that might not seem too bad, until you remember this is a trilogy. edit: nevermind BL is fourth, I forgot about the Mario Party 9 Minigame lmao
Tru I’d say that in a vacuum this is the best strikers It’s just not a complete package, the development of this game was a war between next level who wanted to make the game good and nintendo who wanted them to make the game fast

ok even if this game is mid you have to admit the characters have never looked more expressive that animation is so clean

Don’t forget about Donkey Kong’s dance being a meme too with perfectly timed songs
This is why I love this game
and games like mario wonder and brothership are even better!
I adore the personality Next Level Games gives to the characters. This is also the team that did Luigi’s Mansion 3.
I love that Nick knew this was like the last performance of Deanna Mustard. I should never have doubted a true Daisy fan.
I've seen many people found Battle League as their least favorite Mario Strikers. Not helping that Boom-booms perform the worst as goalkeepers. They prefer the kritters
From the look of things, the biggest thing that got neutered is that aggression from previous games.

@@Da_ComputerMonster also the rest of the game
Not much single player content or extra things

If you ever need proof of how badly COVID screwed certain developers, look no further than this game.

You wouldn't want to, even if you could. The online experience is awful
