Nintendo released a trailer on Monday and the new competitors are already turning heads. Birdo, who has long served as Yoshi’s pink counterpart, seems confident in her role as team captain. In her animation, she walks from midfield to her side of the field. As she walks away, she looks over her shoulder at a dinosaur with a slightly sultry look and sends us off with a little wink.
Mario Strikers: Battle League is the latest installment in the Mario Soccer franchise. Nintendo released the base game last June and has since released two DLC updates. In a tweet announcing Birdo and Bowser Jr., a tweet from the official Nintendo account described this DLC as the “final free update”.
