Psyonix is revealing some big news about the Switch version of Rocket League today. This version of the game will offer some exclusive Nintendo-specific cars.

Players will be able to ride in vehicles based around Mario, Luigi, and Samus. The Mario and Luigi cars are the same but for a different predominant color and logo, and the one you get depends on the Rocket League team you’re on. You’ll be Mario on the Orange team, and Luigi on the Blue team.

Also coming to Rocket League on Switch is the Samus Gunship, taken right out of Metroid. Like the Mario and Luigi cars, different coloring options are available based on the team you’re on.

All of these cars will have exclusive traits. The Mario and Luigi cars feature a Super Star trail while Samus’ Gunship has a Wave Beam. Also, Mario and Luigi hats are reconfirmed.

View a trailer for the new Nintendo content in Rocket League on Switch below, along with the official announcement.

Official announcement:

As the holiday season draws closer, so too does Rocket League on Nintendo Switch!

As revealed in our Nintendo Direct E3 2017 trailer, Rocket League will indeed have exclusive customization items and Battle-Cars for that version of the game, and today we are excited to announce that the ‘Mario NSR,’ ‘Luigi NSR,’ and ‘Samus’ Gunship’ vehicles will be FREE unlockable Battle-Cars at launch!

For the curious, team color decides which version of the new Battle-Cars appear on the pitch. Players on the Orange team can use the ‘Mario NSR’ and ‘Samus’ Gunship,’ while Blue team members automatically equip the ‘Luigi NSR’ and a classic Samus color variation of her Varia Suit. Though both vehicles are FREE on Nintendo Switch, players will still need to unlock them in-game by completing certain requirements. More details on those later this year!

Along with the new Battle-Cars, Rocket League on Switch will also have several exclusive customization items. The ‘Mario’ and ‘Luigi’ Toppers (hats) can be used on any non-licensed customizable Battle-Car, while the ‘Super Star’ Rocket Boost can be used with the ‘Mario NSR’ and ‘Luigi NSR’ cars. Likewise, the ‘Wave Beam’ Rocket Boost is exclusive to ‘Samus’ Gunship.’

The Samus one looks dope.

This is how you get a third party sale on Nintendo, even if you are graphically lower. Take notice games, if you include little things like that you can make up for things.

I thoroughly regret looking at the youtube comment section.

Yeah, I don't get why they're complaining about Nintendo-themed cars being exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.

F***ing awesome!!!

I'm getting RL now, no doubt.

Are we supposed to know what Sonic Mania treatment is supposed to be?

Also, I'm pretty sure PC can mod in new models unless Psyonix doesn't allow that...

Nice that's the type of content the game needed, Samus one looks dope.

tfw people are complain about NINTENDO themed skins on the NINTENDO Switch version of the game.

Anyways the Samus skin looks cool, maybe I'll finally give Rocket League a shot.

I wonder if these guys were complaining about Link being only on the Gamecube Soul Calibur back in the day?
