Wii Nation

Some new details have emerged about the newest title in the Mario sports series. This time it’s Mario Strikers Charged. A follow up to the Gamecube title, Super Mario Strikers.
The game will be played with just the standard Wii remote, so nothing to worry about if that’s all you have.

The best news about this game though? Online play. This will become the first official online multiplayer game for the Wii in both the US and UK, Japan however beat us to it. But don’t worry, we’ll too get Pokemon.

The details about online play are a bit limited for now, but so far its sounding good:

• Ranked and Unranked matches
• Leader boards
• Friend codes are needed (ugh)
• 4 player matches, with up to 2 people on the same Wii, which sounds like it could be awesome, you and a friend against two others.
• Random play is region locked, so no random play with anyone outside the country.

Due out in May across the pond, hopefully it won’t take long to get over here. Looks like a blast to me.
