About

Here’s your chance to try out the latest game taking the Mushroom Kingdom by storm—Strike! Join the fray in this five-on-five, soccer-like sport online during this limited time demo with a Nintendo Switch Online membership. During the active online periods, play Versus Everyone or Join Friends to get gritty and try to score the most goals by tackling enemies and pulling off score-boosting Hyper Strikes. Training mode will be available for the duration of the demo, so you can get some practice in before you hop online.
