Mario Strikers: Battle League is a sports game coming to the Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo will be holding an online demo event called Mario Strikers: Battle League First Kick that will be available June 3-5. Nintendo sent an email introducing the event to Nintendo Switch users, but they made a careless error in the email sent to users in Japan. On May 30, a corrected email was sent out, and the content of this email has drawn attention on social media.

The image in the article shows the introduction email for the online demo event. The point of note is the email subject line at the top of the image where the title of the game is written. Instead of Mario Strikers: Battle League, the title is Mario "Kart" Strikers: Battle League. The title sounds like it's for a game that combines the battle soccer gameplay of Mario Strikers with the beloved Mario Kart series and would be a potential dream come true for fans.

Nintendo sent out a revised email on May 30 that corrected the mistake and apologized to their customers for the confusion and inconvenience that the error had caused.

While there were some who were talking about the incorrect title at the time the initial email was sent out, it was only after the apology email from Nintendo, something that is quite rare, that people really started to pay attention.

Nintendo sent an email introducing the Mario Strikers: Battle League First Kick event to Nintendo Switch users, but instead of saying Mario Strikers: Battle League, the email mentioned Mario “Kart” Strikers: Battle League as the game's title. This has drawn attention on social media in Japan.

I can kind of see the logic. The items in Strikers basically behave exactly like you'd expect them to in Mario Kart.

They should apologize for putting the shot at A and pass at B and not letting you change it.

It could be a mode for the already existing Battle Mode in Mario Kart.

Sadly that's something Nintendo will never do.

Technically, they actually already did that, but for Metroid.
