So, whos getting Mario Strikers Charged?

brainiac

Well whos going to get it? Before I found out it was online I was strongly considering getting it. And then as an added bonus when online was anounced it pushed me over the line and into the definitely going to get it stage .
So who else is going to get it?
Is it just because its online?
Were you considering getting it before you heard about online capabilities?
Looking forward to having a few games against anyone who buys it.

I am on tenterhooks to get this game absolutely cannot wait and it comes out the day before my birthday so chances are i won't be the one buying it. The fact its online makes me even more excited i wanted it since i first heard about it. looking foward to playing you in the near future then eh?

Most definitely!

What with Super Paper Mario's rumoured release at the end of the month, this may get left behind.

You never know.

Tempted, but only because its online. Never played the original but I've heard its decent. Lack of cash is a big negative atm though!

Possibly but with online a lot of ppl are interested.

Retr0gamer

It's by the same team behind sega soccer slam so if will probably be crap in single player but an absolute blast in multiplayer.

BRING IT ON!!!
I didnt play the first one on Cube but Im likeing the look of this one love the multi goal idea. When is she dated for release in europe?

The_B_Man

25th of May just 3 weeks away

smokingman

Guy at the shop on launch day and organising a weekend of online play with beers aplenty.....

That's me that is....

Star Lord

Not really interested in this one in the slightest tbh...

Im_No_Superman

Cant wait for this one, really liked the cube version and the online feature is iceing on the cake!

WiiFallenAngel

25th of may is less than three weeks away brainiac.

I can't wait to get it, I think it being online is one of the main highlights. I hope that more games coming out for the Wii in the future, will have the online compatibility bringing the Wii to a hole new level

brainiac

The next online game is pokemon which is coming in the summer (I think)

WiiFallenAngel

Won't be getting it, I'm not a pokemon fan.

Same here

BanzaiBk

Couldn't be less interested, which is a shame because the online card played by Nintendo is very tempted. An underwhelming introduction for the Wii online methinks:(

elekid

Not interested in this but I'll probably get the online Pokmon game.

I liked some of the Mario sports games but football just isn't my thing

sprinkles

really looking forward to this one. The last strikers game was really good multiplayer.

Basq

Any screenshots leaked as to how the online system will look? I mean if it's going live in Europe in 3 weeks, surely there should be!

EDIT: Never mind... just found this!

Im_No_Superman

The official UK site has now been updated with video footage and such!

I'm tempted to get it but the Wii controls surely weren't meant for a footie game. Will listen to the reviews first and then decide if it's worth my cash.

First Boards.ie Wii tournament on the Saturday night?!

djkeogh

I'm just after getting interested in this. I think I'll be picking up a copy next week. Will have to organise some online play at it for definite.

sprinkles

eurogamer gave it 8/10. Def getting this one!

Antamojo

I'm getting it just because of the online feature
Looking foward to a few good matches against you lads

brainiac

This is now also a countdown thread.

6 days until Mario Strikers hits the shops!!!

CrazyTalk

donkey 2002

brainiac

Was it €50?

Said so on site. But they said price wasnt confirmed.

Yep.. thought so. I've went to Smyths numerous times seeing a price on the site only for it to be €5 - €10 more in the actual store!

Someone needs to let me know on Friday whether Smyths or Gamestop has it cheaper as i'm within walking distance of both.

Rhyme

Smyths also has that reward card scheme... 10% within the first week of release (i think).

dimerocks

I reckon i may well splash the cash tomorrow. It looks like great fun so maybe....

Banjo

Has anyone gone to the Microsite using the Wii Internet channel yet? There's a mini-game that lets you play as the keeper but you can't access the link through a PC. Interesting way of generating interest, but I wish they'd put some free downloadable demos on the Shop channel...

smokingman

There's a store in Dublin that are selling it at half six tonight....

Prowetod

So is it definetly out on the 25th? How much will it be? I will get it alright because of the online feature
