The European gaming site Console Gaming is adding a Nintendo Wii ladder in the Europe region for players of Super Mario Strikers Charged. Right now, the gaming site is host to ladders mainly in the first-person shooter realms of the PS3 and Xbox 360, and is hoping to expand out to the casual gamer by giving Nintendo Wii owners a place to battle it out. The General Manager of the company states:

The market is currently dominated by the more conventional competitive ladders such as Rainbow Six: Vegas or Socom, by launching a ladder for Super Mario Strikers we are hoping that we can draw in the casual gamer, and those that want a break from your standard online game and reunite them on the virtual football field. This will bring us closer to achieving our aim of becoming a central hub for which all European gamers can converse and compete in a ladder environment.

I love my Nintendo Wii and I am quite a bit of a competitive lady, but I'm not sure if Mario Strikers Charged is really going to have enough meat on it to play other people in a semi-serious manner. I could be wrong, that game clip was super macho, even for Bowser. Kim Phu
