Nike and Honda aren't the only people doing hybrids now. Dave Bondi's AKASHI figure is a great smash-up of two of the worlds most noticeable characters, Mickey and Mario. The physical features of both melt together seamlessly as each lend a "hand" into creating something new. AKASHI stands a proud 9? tall and is limited to only 200 pieces.

The Sexual Politics Of The Mushroom Kingdom (Feature)

9 Jan 2008

9th Dec, 2008 Just what in the hell is going on with Mario and Peach? It was so simple back in the old NES days of Super Mario Bros. She got herself kidnapped, he went after her with the help of Luigi, and all ended happily ever after. Or so we thought. The thing is that it didn't really. It's become ever more apparent that since that first rescue things have only ever got messier, dirtier and more manipulative in their relationship. Far from the innocent damsel and hero set-up that appeared ...

2007 - The best gaming year ever (Feature)

20 Dec 2007

20th Dec, 2007 Gaming is an up and down experience. Some years cram top quality titles into our every orifice until were bursting with videogame joy and have excess polygons dripping messily out of our ears, while some other years… Well, some other years are 1983. In 2007 though, weve had a very good year indeed. A scarily good year in fact. One which has provided us so much brilliance on every format that its a genuine worry that the laws of karmic balance will soon bring us a plague ...

Mario Strikers Charged Best Multiplayer Game on Wii? (News)

6 Aug 2007

Forget about Mario Party Infinity or any of its party game knockoffs, the best multiplayer experience available on the Wii is Mario's latest soccer effort. As if anybody needed to hear this, Mario Strikers Charged is anything but a simulation. The game's true football elements take a back seat to chaos as lightning bolts, lava flows, and yes, the aforementioned flying bovines add additional challenges.

New Releases for the Week of July 30, 2007 (News)

30 Jul 2007

This week we see a rather craptackular collection of goodies for back to school shoppers to scoop up. Perhaps the darling of the bunch is Mario Strikers Charged for the Nintendo Wii. We personally find it to be a bit ironic that both 'Bratz Ponyz' and 'Spelling Challenges & More!' happen to be releasing simultaneously on the Nintendo DS this week!

Check out the full list of new video game releases (USA) for the week of July 30, 2007 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 (PS3), Nintendo Wii, Sony PS2, PSP, Nintendo DS, and PC (USA)! As always, release dates are subject to change.

Cheating on Nintendo (Feature)

25 Jul 2007

There are hardly any barriers in place for Nintendo's online gaming strategy. Were not talking about players injecting reaction-improving drugs up their nostrils - rather, were talking about the trend of repeatedly exploiting glitches and gameplay imbalances to score an easy win over potentially more skilful opponents. But like the steroid poser, the morality of this issue is a moodylicous shade of gray. After all, these people arent cheating per se, are they? Theyre not breaking the game ...

Mario Strikers Charged (Review)

24 Jul 2007

Of all the GameCube titles we were hoping to see resurrected on Wii, Mario Strikers was never one that really showed up on our radar. After all, the original wasnt hugely impressive, being an exhausting and largely skill-free exercise in button-mashing attrition. If it was an arcade sports game its simplicity might have worked in its favor, but who would pay $50 for something so frantic and random? But its back, polished up and given a few new Wii controls though essentially unchanged in ...

100 Deaths of Mario (Feature)

4 Jun 2007

If you have a thing for the grim and morbid, then you'll feel right at home as we've dug up 100 deaths of our beloved Mario. You should know, however, that these deaths do not make up every death Mario's succumbed to in the last 26 years. That would just be too much for us - the bereaved - to handle. Grab a hanky and ...

Mario Strikers Charged online verdict (Preview)

1 Jun 2007

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 ...

Mario Strikers Charged - updated hands-on (Preview)

25 May 2007

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. Maybe it's because we don't love that guy who shouts "GOAAAAAAALLL!" for such a long time that his face turns blue and his grandkids call 911. Or maybe, just maybe, it's because we couldn't set the goalie's hands on fire, knock opponents out with ...

Console Gaming Launches Mario Strikers Ladder for Europe (News)

20 May 2007

"21st May, London, UK Â¿ consolegaming.eu, one of Europes largest clan gaming sites today announced that it will be launching the first competitive Nintendo Wii ladder in Europe. This will take the form of Super Mario Strikers.

Marco Spoor, General Manager of Consolegaming.eu stated that "The market is currently dominated by the more conventional competitive ladders such as Rainbow Six: Vegas or Socom, by launching a ladder for Super Mario Strikers we are hoping that we can draw in the casual gamer, and those that want a break from your standard online game and reunite them on the virtual football field. This will bring us closer to achieving our aim of becoming a central hub for which all European gamers can converse and compete in a ladder environment"

Since ConsoleGaming.eu was launched in January 2007 the staff have done a lot to help make the site easier for everyone to use by having the ladders and the forums avaliable in 10 of the most spoken languages in Europe. There are dedicated community managers for each of the languages to provide you with support each step of the way.

Mario Strikers will join the current 11 ladders spread out over the three major formats, Playstation 2, Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. All of which have achieved major success since launching in April, with more ladders being launched all the time.

You are able to register for the ladders at http://mscf.wii.consolegaming.eu/."

After last week's touting of the 44 Wii games Nintendo has in development, the company has since detailed the titles it will be rolling out in Japan this year - and it's a mighty impressive list indeed.

Mario Strikers Charged (Preview)

17 Jan 2007

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 ...

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 ...

With Nunchuk and Wii remote in hand, you'll be controlling Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and a host of other laced-up characters to fill your opponent's goal mouth with iron balls. We've seen the game in full flow, and special skills like Mega Strikes - near-unstoppable multi-ball assaults on goal - use the Wii-mote's pointer for defending. If ...
