Rocket League Nintendo Switch Edition is shaping up to be the best version of the game yet.
Nintendo and Psyonix have partnered up to release exclusive content on the Switch version of the vehicular football game.
Nintendo Switch owners will be able to unlock special Battle-Cars based on Nintendo characters.
The Battle-Cars include Mario NSR and Luigi NSR, which feature green and red motifs.
“Whether or not players use the Mario or Luigi NSR will depend on which team colour they select before the match,” Nintendo explains. “Mario for the Orange team and Luigi for the Blue team.”
There’s also a Metroid-themed car, which also has different colour variations.
You can check out the vehicles in the gallery below…
“The second exclusive Battle-Car is Samus’ Gunship based on the protagonist of the beloved Metroid franchise,” Nintendo continues.
“Samus’ Gunship also has two different variations based upon what team colour a player chooses, and are styled after different Varia Suits.”
All three vehicles also come with specialised boosts that pay homage to the franchises they’re based on.
“Both cars also have specialised boosts, called “Super Star” for the Mario and Luigi NSR and “Wave Beam” for Samus’ Gunship,” Nintendo adds.
“The Nintendo Battle-Cars and other Nintendo Switch additions, including local wireless multiplayer and Mario and Luigi Toppers, will be available when Rocket League comes to Nintendo Switch, Holiday 2017.”
Rocket League Nintendo Switch Edition was unveiled during Nintendo’s E3 presentation.
The new Rocket League Nintendo Switch port will feature exclusive customisation items for the Nintendo console. This includes Mario and Luigi hats for your cars.
Fans can also expect new Nintendo-themed vehicles, as well as cross-network play with other platforms and local wireless.
Rocket League Nintendo Switch has a holiday 2017 release date, but doesn’t have a price.
