During this month’s Nintendo Direct, we learned that Pauline and Diddy Kong would be joining the Mario Strikers: Battle League roster, and, out of nowhere, we got both a new trailer and the release of the update. You can check out the trailer above, and the full patch notes for the new update can be found below.

Additional Content

  • Added “Diddy Kong” as a playable character.
  • Added the “Planetoid” stadium.
  • Added the “Barrel” gear set.

  • You can now customize supporters in the stadium. Access this by going to “Club Management” → “Stadium” → “Supporters”.

"Increased the amount of Coins and tokens you earn depending on the results of a match."

I'm hoping it's at least triple, but I'm guessing it'll only be double. Still looking for another game mode or two; like a mini-game.
