Mario Strikers Charged - dribbling ever closer

There's a new microsite for Mario Strikers Charged. There is little more than a promo video and some boxart at present, but more is apparently on the way. We got a quick look at the game last month, and thought it seemed pretty fun, particularly in multiplayer. The game will feature online play, the first to do so in Europe and Australia, with ranked matches limited to players in the same region. You'll also be able to swap friend codes for unranked matches - friend codes will be assigned to your Mii rather than your console, so if you happen to share a console with someone whose friends you hate, you won't have to play them.
We're also looking forward to trying the Mega Strikes: where the ball splits into five shots, which your opponent has to block with the Wiimote. Taking multiple shots at the keeper always used to get us in trouble at school, but here it's positively encouraged - you'll get a goal for each one that hits the back of the net.
Mario Strikers Charged kicks and screams its way into Europe on May 25th, with other regions to follow.

Wow, Europe 1st? I'm jealous of your guys' release schedule for once. I'm looking forward to this one immensely.

Mario Strikers was by far and away my favorite game for gamecube. I am really excited to play it for the wii, especially online! I hope this game comes to the US very very soon.

Rich, Mario Strikers is scheduled for a US launch this summer according to Wikipedia - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Strikers_Charged_%28_Wii_%29 Unfortunately each copy will have a 12 digit friend code, but MapWii - http://MapWii.com - helps you save and share those too.
