Mario Strikers Charged European website features game only playable via Wii browser
Leading up to the launch of Mario Strikers Charged Football for Wii on May 25, the game’s official microsite is giving you more details every day about this season’s must-have sports game.
Today a very special section has opened up – that is, if you’re using the Internet Channel on your Wii console!
Just point your Wii browser to http://mariostrikers.nintendo.co.uk/ to the game’s microsite, and check out Moves, where you’ll find a special mini-game tucked away in the Keeper section.
You’ll be challenged to stop charged footballs shot in your direction – just like in the game, when an opponent fires a MegaStrike at you – by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen and pressing the A Button at the right time.
Can you stop enough of them to make it to the leaderboard?

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Mario Strikers: Charged by Spong
Mario Strikers: Charged Football is a deceptively hardcore little game. While at first it may seem little more than a fast-paced, space-age cartoony kickabout, after repeated play of the single-player and both offline and online multiplayer games, it becomes clear that there is far more depth to the game than, at first, meets the eye. Graphics-wise, while nothing much to shout about, it looks, well, happy and colourful and pleasingly chunky, in the way in which only truly memorable Nintendo characters can.

This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo Wii game Mario Strikers: Charged by Eurogamer
Of course, like most sports games, Mario Strikers is best played against friends - up to four, with decent Wi-Fi options. The single player game is strong enough to warrant a purchase too, especially as Mario Strikers finally breaks the recent drought of Wii releases. As the most original, admittedly surreal, take on the sport for years, Mario Strikers is a gem of a game and manages to flawlessly meet Nintendo’s brief of appealing to absolutely everybody.

This is an excerpt from the Preview of the Nintendo Wii game Mario Strikers Charged by Pro-G
Setting up an online game involved inviting players from a ‘friend list’ that displayed cards detailing adversaries’ total wins, losses and draws, along with an Xbox LIVE style profile. It was not clear how you will invite new friends to your list, but I managed to confirm that the 12 digit ‘friend code’ that identifies you is not the same as your Wii’s own code. That means friend codes could well be different for each game, as with the DS, though details are yet to be released on future Wii online games.
On the whole both Mario Strikers and the Wii as an online gaming platform impressed, offering accessibility and the potential for hilarious fun. Finally, an entire generation of consoles is online, and quickly the past is feeling like a very different world indeed.
