Nintendo Download: Flying Sparks and Superstars!

Mario and pals take the field as Super Mario Strikers arrives for the Switch 2’s Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass.

Goooooooooooal

While this Holiday weekend (in the US) is a bit of a thin one for Nintendo’s consoles, there are a few games landing that might be of interest. The biggest of those is probably Super Mario Strikers, a soccer title hailing from the GameCube that allows player to take the field as some of the Mushroom Kingdom’s best. First released in 2005, Super Mario Strikers is the latest title from the classic console to become available for play on the Switch 2, by way of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass subscription.

Other than that, there are a few pre-orders like WWE 2K25 and Monument Valley 3, plus the usual assortment of additional, smaller releases arriving. Scroll down to check out the full list.
