Mario Strikers Charged Gameplay

Entitled — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 20:24:52 MDT

About the jittering Wii cursor:

My guess is that there's bright light sources somewhere in your room that is confusing the Wiimote IR sensor. The light sources can be a variety of things, and I've had things like Christmas lights, ceiling mounted lights, sun shining through the window, glare off of shiny objects, etc. confuse my Wiimote.

There's an option in the Wii settings, I believe called Sensor Bar sensitivity, that lets you see the IR spots that the Wiimote sees. From that, you should be able to identify the miscreant light sources.

I hope this helps.

Yeah I second Code.Monkey's request for an indepth impressions article.

I'm kind of on the edge about buying this one. Played the first one at a friend's place a couple times and REALLY REALLY loved it, but I'm weary of its lackluster online features and the learning curve. it doesn't seem to be that great of a game to play alone, yet it takes some time to really pick up and learn.

Ummmm. Especially with online play, I think I'll probably be picking this one up.

Wow, that was really cool, feel free to do as many of those gameplay liveblogs as you like.

Crecente, are you going to write a more formal post of your thoughts on the game later this week? I know there's been impressions and the sort but maybe something a little more in-depth?

@Kyle81: Yeah, can't wait for all those 8 year old kids yelling obscenities in my ear.

I love watching Crecente play though, partially because he's so bad and refuses to read the instructions - although his trash talking is hilarious as well.

Chin up BC! Rachel! may have owned you this time, but next time... um... you'll probably lose again but with an extra point or two. RACHELLLLLL!!

To bad there is no way to hook up the camera to your TV, so we can get a direct stream of the game as well as your voice.

This works, but it's a bummer we can't have a better quality look when some of these games (Heavenly Sword comes to mind) are shaping up to be AMAZING looking.

"Play hard, play fair, and don't disconnect. Completing matches in Strikers, beit a win or loss, will gain you ranking points. It is always better to finish a game you are always rewarded points for the amount of goals you score, and the outcome of the match. Disconnecter's are punished by losing ranking points and earning losses on their record."

Nice to known D/cers are punished.

I think if you shake the Wiimote/Nunchuck at the same time, you do what that player's doing before they power up a shot.

If it's anything like the GC release if you keep passing until you get the ball to someone who's open and kick right when they get the ball, the shot gets a speed boost of sorts. Try that.

@Mr.X: Why do you have to turn it into a flame on Nintendo? D/C'ers do get penalized. Whatever, the game looks like a blast, and every game/console has people that disconnect.

cdammers — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 11:20:50 MDT

It's an awesome game. Nothing like real football, of course, but it's an absolute blast. The only quibble I have is that some of the pitches (the desert one in particular) are just too distracting. The basic gameplay mechanic is fine without the extra gimmicks, although some are quite fun (the windy pitch, for instance).

Hey Crecente if your Wii controller hand shakes on the screen uncontrollably, try flipping the sensor bar upside down.

Worked for me...

You got that wrong Crecente, my friends in Europe say that D/Cers who cut off lose 5 points, losers get 1 point per goal they made and winners get a whole bunch of points. Also, WIRTE THAT DCING SOB NAME DOWN! >=o

@TechnoPirate: It's more amazing that their feet can stand up to a ball that is more a hunk of pig iron that glows, than any sort of sport equipment.

I wish they had more characters in this game. And more goalie choices with their own strengths and weaknesses. I mean.. why not?
