Exceptional video. Charged was my childhood and this kind of content feels so tailor made for me! You hit all the key points. Really hoping that with Battle League they could include all the old stadiums just like Charged did with the OG. As long as they expand the roster and keep the game’s essence alive, I’ll be playing the heck out of it this summer

I've never played a Mario Strikers game before, but I'm super excited to try this one out! Other Mario sports games are too simple for me but it looks to be at least slightly more complicated with the power ups and the many different settings. Great Video!

[@minecraftotalwar]

I would recommend mario tennis aces for you to try, it is literally a fighting game in disguise, there is a lot of depth in the mix ups. Also mario golf super rush is very strategic and intense in the battlegolf course…

If Battle League combines the best elements of both of them, which it looks like it might, then we may have a modern classic on our hands

Kudos for highlighting the wii version, which was actually criticised at launch for motion control. Like you, I'm a huge fan of this amazing creative game. Great work.

[@ducksoup80]

When I was playing the first game I found some rare animation of Bowser. I was charging a shot with Daisy and Bowser dropped in front facing away the ball hit him in the butt and he flew off the Field at a angle screaming and holding his rear end it was hilarious

The Smash Bros of Football, in both graphism and gameplay! Bro, you made me realize that their strong personality reflect the fact that this is a high stake sport. It is serious business and this is what made it awesome! 23:09 Never realize the hockey part tho. In the official website, there is an interview and this prove hos much heart they added.

[@YenaD15]

I disagree with the mega strikes. Good comeback factor for more casual players and if you're good at blocking you can shut them down anyways. Neat little mini game to stop your opponent in their tracks

[@ChuchoBros24]

This was a great video! It's the first video of yours that I watch but I loved it! You're so funny and I love how you even dressed up as a soccer player to keep the theme! I love the old games so watching this retrospective made me more hyped for the new game, lol

The first thing you show in your video is snow...looks silly to say it and it's maybe normal for you, but i've never seen snowing in my entire life, it's one of my dreams to see it happening...i envy you just by seeing you standing there... :(

[@NinjaLobsterStudios]

Played so much Strikers on the GC, it was great for couch multiplayer and I really wish we could have had 8-player support. The game is so chaotic and there are so many weird situations that can arise from the flexible mechanics. While in some cases this kind of sucks, like the random chance to miss a shot during a pass, often the scrambles that ensue from weird bounces or item usage leads to incredibly hype moments. And just as much as it is hype to be a part of cool stuff, it's still fun when your goalie randomly goes Super Saiyan and makes crazy save after crazy save. The highlights and Instant Replay systems are incredible systems, it really enhances the experience of getting a goal. If you want to flex during your next session, try timing a Deke right as the opposing goalie lunges at you. If done right, you can zip past him and get a shot on an open net. It looks really cool if the game picks it up as a slow motion highlight.

[@littenfire3563]

The move Waluigi did is called the Crotch Chop.

[@phildonnerwetter]

I once learned that Mario Strikers Charged for Wii was originally going to be a wrestling game with Mario, but Nintendo felt that Mario and wrestling just didn't go well together, so it was made the sequel to Super Mario Strikers for Gamecube instead.

[@legoboy7107]

I think that was a separate game that they were working on after charged, it was supposed to be like volleyball with wrestling moves added or something.

[@TheWiilly1]

I. LOVE. MARIO STRIKERS CHARGED. Thanks for taking a dive on the Strikers series. BTW, Waluigi was once a member of D-Generation X. So that explains the crotch chop.

[@Unprotected1232]

I suspect it's because it's nothing like actual football. I'd feel bad having to feign injury whenever I'm slightly inconvenienced by other players.

[@Alfonso88279]

Something tells me that the new switch one will be much, much blander. I don't see Nintendo liking this much personality.

[@SonnyLando]

im rpetty sure daisy did that same celebration in strikers as well

[@JP-wf8te]

Hope you all loved the charged mechanic here.... because it doesn't seem like we're getting it in the sequel

[@Ceielo]

24:18 That's the crotch chop, if you're a wrestling fan. Degeneration X used to say "Suck it!" while doing that, so therefore everyone in school did it all the time lmao. Great days. I only tried the first Strikers, and now I want to buy them all. I'm not really into soccer, but I am a huge hockey fan, and it feels so much like a hockey game, but way more chaotic. Gotta love its European name "Mario Smash Football."

[@blueshell8705]

I just came to say the music

[@bluewulv]

This is more like the ideas I was hoping for. For Bsttle League that is. Trophies and cup battles: vast and lovely like in the 1st game. The Cup Battles should have normal and super cup battles like in the first game. And the trophies should get bigger shinier and with lovelier detail in the higher difficulties. Captains: Have them be better than all the sidekicks and have their own special abilities super strike and mega strike. Like maybe the super strike of a captain be like a fully charged shot of a sidekick. Examples like Mario's being a fireball that burns and stuns the goalie leaving an opening for a goal for Mario or a teammate. And for Luigi maybe the same but with green fire. They could do like a 2 or 3 point score like in the first game. Keeping the megastrikes the same though. But with different ways to block em that arent motion controlled Sidekicks: vast and customizeable like Charged but none being OP. As well as adding in more sidekicks like Magikoopas Chargin chucks and bloopers items: Same as in the 1st game. Courses: More like the 1st game's courses with limited hazards Losing animations: Some captains having animations where they attack enemy players like Bowser grabbing an enemy player and breathing fire at their face and Wario sitting on an opponent and farting on them. Inspired by Petey eating an opponent in Charged. Other customizations: outfit colors and details. Also keep the charged armor and ball Most of all, make it balanced and fair and depending on player skill. Another thing. Use more of that cool sketchy art style from the gamecube game's cover art.
