Hilariously Blatant Mario Strikers Ripoff Is Now On Xbox

Battle League, it’s doubtful that Nintendo would take this similarity lightly without responding.

According to Nintendo Life, LightGamess (with an additional “s”) is responsible for publishing Mariostro Strikers Soccer League, which became available on Xbox Marketplace on January 10. The game’s description includes a bit of unintentional humor since it appears someone overlooked adding the actual name of the game in the initial paragraph and didn’t correct the oversight.

Immerse yourself in the exhilarating realm of soccer arcade games called “[Your Game Name Here]”! Enjoy the heart-pounding action of 4-on-4 matches, where each player plays a crucial role. Select from 10 distinct and entertaining teams to control, as you weave, pass, and score goals en route to victory while safeguarding your goal with an adept goalkeeper – according to the game’s official description.

The artwork on the cover for Mariostro Strikers Soccer League doesn’t match the game’s art style, but it features a comical character resembling Mario as its central athlete. It seems that Mariostro’s mustache is quite well-liked by the other players, or maybe this cover image was generated by AI that didn’t know when to stop mimicking Mario’s characteristics.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my concerns about the future availability of the Mariostro Strikers Soccer League. With Nintendo’s keen eye for detail, it’s hard to predict how long this gem will continue to thrive in the shadows. Although Nintendo suffered a copyright loss with an unrelated Super Mario, underestimating their determination to safeguard their intellectual property would be a grave mistake. Just last year, they took legal action against a suspected Switch pirate, tracking down his identity through online clues.
