Mario Strikers Charged online verdict

Wii Preview | Mario Strikers Charged

Mario Strikers Charged is the first online Wii game in the UK, so we've crowbarred ourselves away from the Halo 3 Beta for a few hours to put Mario's online kick-about to the test. Diving straight in, it takes a few seconds for the Wii to sign into Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Once in, the first thing you're asked to do is choose your Mii - something you should expect most, if not all, online Wii games to do. After that you're taken to the front-end screen for the online mode where, just above ... » Read More

Mario Strikers Charged - updated hands-on

Wii Preview | Mario Strikers Charged

Okay, we get the drill by now: Americans aren't as in love with soccer/football as the rest of the world. Maybe it's because we have the NFL, maybe it's because we have short attention spans so games that end with a score of 2-1 aren't that exciting.

Wednesday 17 January 2007 Probably best described as Mario Strikers Evolution, because that's basically all it is - a Wii-enhanced evolution of the decidedly average GameCube title. Most of the new stuff we've already covered in some detail. The enhanced power shot, for example (allowing you to shoot multiple balls at a goal before the defending party gets whisked away to a somewhat ill-advised ball-deflecting mini-game), or the fact that you can now 'tackle' the opposition by flicking the Wii ... » Read More

Mario Strikers Charged - hands-on

Wii Preview | Mario Strikers Charged

In a turtle shell - and on the evidence of an extended multiplayer training session - the mustachioed mascot's soccer sequel runs pretty close in line with GameCube's Super Mario Strikers, but takes advantage of the kinetically-enhanced remote by throwing some shaky bits into the kit bag. After selecting a team captain from one of Mushroom Kingdom's famous faces (Mario, Bowser, Peach etc) and picking your squad (made up of Boos, Toadies, Koopas and the like) and style of play, it's on to the ... » Read More

Wednesday 20 September 2006 In a turtle shell - and on the evidence of an extended multiplayer training session - the moustachioed Nintendo mascot's footie Wii run out follows pretty closely in the boots of GameCube's Mario Smash Football, but takes advantage of the kinetically-enhanced remote by throwing some shaky bits into the kit bag. After selecting a team captain from one of Mushroom Kingdom's famous faces (Mario, Bowser, Peach etc) and picking your squad (made up of Boos, Toadies, ... » Read More
