I'm too lazy to read right now, so I'll throw out Mario Strikers Charged as it is a great 4vs4 soccer game with the usual Mario twists. The online is great (if it is still active) but even the local multiplayer is great. I was playing 4p striker cup and we lost to petey piranha due to cheap shots at the very last second. Actually, we lost due to us playing like little kids and all of us running after the ball at the last 10 seconds. We should have won though 
EDIT: lol, I'm so lazy right now I didn't even read enough of the OP, cause Strikers needs 4 nunchucks
