Yeah, yeah, the update also introduces some other stuff, but c&#8217;mon!  Daisy!! <em>Finally<\/em>!!!<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Daisy has long been a mainstay on the <em>Mario<\/em> sports games circuit, including previous entries in the <em>Strikers<\/em> series, Nintendo&#8217;s take on soccer.  So when news broke about a month before the launch of <span><em>Mario Strikers: Battle League<\/em><\/span>  that suggested Daisy might be excluded from the game, <span>fans were furious<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <span>the <em>Super Mario<\/em> Daisy Fandom Is Ready To Riot Against Nintendo<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Daisy&#8217;s absence turned out to be indicative of the broader problem with <em>Mario Strikers: Battle League<\/em>.  First released last month for Switch, <span>it received fair praise<\/span> for its punchy, hectic twist on soccer games.  But it got a collective red card for launching svelte on content: it included just 10 playable characters.  and while <em>Battle League<\/em> came out of the gate with five distinct soccer fields, they&#8217;re all\u2026pretty much the same, each one only a cosmetic alteration to the stadium&#8217;s backdrop.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">The update, which is free, rolls out July 22 and beefs up <em>Battle League<\/em>&#8216;s content library, kinda.  Daisy, skilled in technique and passing stats, is of course the headliner.  One Twitter user succinctly captured fan reaction:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"twitter-embed\"><iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/kotaku.com\/embed\/inset\/iframe?id=twitter-1549379896279015428&amp;autosize=1\" autoresize=\"true\" id=\"twitter-1549379896279015428\" data-recommended=\"false\" width=\"500\" height=\"159\" class=\"core-inset lazyload\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"webkitAllowFullScreen\" mozallowfullscreen=\"mozallowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"bxm4mm-17 bubJdb\">\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-0 sc-1atgi65-1 bdNdA-D js_commerce-inset-permalink\" data-inset-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01MXE0FKC?asc_campaign=InlineMobile&amp;asc_refurl=https:\/\/kotaku.com\/mario-strikers-battle-league-daisy-shy-guy-switch-1849194573&amp;asc_source=&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;tag=kinjakotakupromo-20&amp;th=1\" data-inset-category=\"CommerceInsetMobile\">\n<p>G\/O Media may get a commission<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-3 hMBKyp creative-type-A\">\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-6 gLSKws\">\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-10 hherpH js_lazy-image\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-15 jrXWJC\">\n<p>53% Off<\/p>\n<p>Logitech G533 Wireless Gaming Headset<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-1atgi65-12 dRyRwx\">\n<p class=\"sc-1atgi65-13 iFlqWg\"><strong>Gaming On!<\/strong><br \/><span>This over-ear headset uses Pro G Drivers for 7.1 Surround Sound to help you hear where everything in the game is, uses pro-grade wireless audio to make sure you don&#8217;t miss out on any sound up to 15 meters, has a 15 -hour battery life, and is lightweight and incredibly comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Fan second-favorite Shy Guy, who has even stats across the board, will also join the roster, bringing it to 12 total characters.  (The previous game, 2007&#8217;s <em>Mario Strikers Charged<\/em> on Wii, featured 12 captains and eight sidekicks, for a total roster of 20.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">It will also add a new stadium\u2014the sandy Desert Ruin\u2014plus a set of gear themed after medieval knights.  Of <em>Battle League<\/em>, you can earn in-game currency through playing.  You can spend that currency on specific pieces of stat-boosting gear for each of the playable characters.  The new gear set improves the strength and shooting stats of any character wearing it.  Give it to Wario!<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">One has to wonder what the reception to <em>Mario Strikers: Battle League<\/em> would&#8217;ve been if Nintendo delayed the game an extra month so all this stuff could&#8217;ve been playable at launch.  The biggest dig against the game was, again, how thin on content it was.  This obviously didn&#8217;t impact sales too much\u2014<span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"sc-1out364-0 hMndXN sc-145m8ut-0 eRdxJX js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/twitter.com\/MatPiscatella\/status\/1547928515420442626&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MatPiscatella\/status\/1547928515420442626\" target=\"_blank\">according to sales-tracking firm NPD<\/a><\/span>, <em>Battle League<\/em> was the top-selling Switch game last month\u2014but there&#8217;s no data to clarify how much, or how little, time those players are actually spending in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Speaking personally, I&#8217;ve already fallen off it: not enough there to prevent matches from feeling repetitive.  But the introduction of two new characters and a new set of gear could revitalize things.  While it&#8217;s not there just yet, with this week&#8217;s update, <em>Battle League<\/em> will finally start to match the full offerings of a standard <em>Strikers<\/em> game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\">Nintendo says <em>Battle League<\/em> will receive two more updates before the year is over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 bOfvBY\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>screenshot: Nintendo \/ Kotaku Mario Strikers: Battle League&#8216;s first big update will add a character fans have clamored for since before launch: Daisy.
