Mario Strikers now has a free demo

Warm-up before the big game.

Nintendo has made a free demo available for Mario Strikers: Battle League Football.

The game previously had a demo shortly before it released on 10th June, but required a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

The new demo is free to download for all Switch owners.

If you do want to check out the demo this time around but don't have a Switch Online subscription, you'll be limited to the game's local co-op modes for multiplayer.

The demo is available from the Nintendo eShop.
