It would help a lot in Europe though.

Indeed along with "rest of the World". It's one of the best selling "soccer" games of all time without FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer in the title.

So the summer months have hit us, and for me, the British weather strikes again.

Strikers? That's the right word. We were playing FIFA 2014 on PS4 and then the idea hit all of us! Let's play Mario Strikers Charged!!! We fished it out, and put it in the Wii U. It played flawlessly! (Something the Wii U really needs credit for)

Mario Strikers Charged is still the best game of last generation for me in multiplayer. It would have been Mario Kart, but they screwed up battle mode and sadly, it sounds like they've don't the same for the Wii U version.

It's made me realise. I need Mario Strikers U. Smash Football was awesome, Strikers Charged is still without peer. I would LOVE to see this game in HD. It's still for me the best multiplayer title ever made. I'd even take a 3DS version over nothing at all. But why aren't Nintendo pursuing the game more? FIFA is clearly pretty much the biggest game in Europe this year. Nintendo make a far better game for multiplayer and Strikers Charged did a damn good job of shifting copies early in the Wii's life. Next level games are pretty quiet right now. I really hope they're making a HD Strikers game! That would pretty much make my year!
