Mario Strikers: Battle League Football’s first free update detailed, yes – it has Daisy

The first wave of DLC for Mario Strikers: Battle League Football has been revealed and adds two new characters – Daisy and Shy Guy.

Daisy joins the game as character with a technique rating, Shy Guy is an all-around nice guy (and his stats are the same too). There’s also a new gear set that is based on Knights and a new stadium Desert Ruin.

The free Wave 1 update drops on Friday morning, July 22nd. Nintendo says two more updates are coming to the game in 2022 as well with more characters, gear and stadiums.
