Watch this video

- Total of 12 captains, eight of them are old with four new one
- Total of 8 sidekicks (The new ones are Boo, Shyguy, Drybones and Monty Mole)
- Total of 16 stadiums, nine of them are new
- Each stadium has unique events that happen during the match
- New single player modes include Road to the Striker Cup and Striker Challenges
- Each character has their own unique soundtracks
- Motion controls are only used for hitting and Mega Strikes

And here's what everyone's been waiting for, the Online play.

- Comprised of ranked and unranked matches
- There'll be a Season based leaderboard system that will be 3 months in length.
- You can do 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 online matches (2 vs 2 is two people on one Wii playing 2 people on another)
- Unranked matches can do 3 vs 1 (3 people on one Wii playing only 1 person on another)
- Unranked matches can be setup with special parameters
- Unranked matches are the only ones that us Friend Codes
- Ranked matches takes overal records into account and pairs similar players together
- Positive scoring system is in place where you recieve points for winning and the amount of goals you score. You also gets points if you lose, just alot less then if you would have won)
- If you disconnect then you lose points
- Multiple leaderboards are in place, they are Season Leaderboard, Friends Leaderboard and Striker of the Day Leaderboard.
- Striker of the Day is where the player who gets the most rank points in one day will be featured on everyone who's playing Strikers Wii. Plus it's updated by the minute so the leader should change often.

Wow, I never thought I'd be getting excited over a Soccer game. The original never really got my attention but this one seems to have hit the spot. Plus if this is what Stikers online has to offer, I can't wait to see what Smash Bros and Mario Kart's will end up like.

yeah I have to agree. Initially, I wasn't too excited for this game.

The Online Aspect seems awesome. I can't wait for the 2v2 co-op, that sounds like so much fun. Hopefully, it will live up to expectations.

Wow, this is probably the first attempt by Nintendo to make a leaderboard type of...er leaderboard. I can't say that I'm not pumped for this. Gotta love the Wii-makes!

I can't imagine what Braw is going to be like. Hopefully, The Big N won't take the same approach with security as they did with the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. That was brutal.

Next Level games is based in Vancouver? Didn't know that!

Online is not effed up and actually sounds decent... miracle.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #5 on:** April 25, 2007, 02:51:16 PM »

I've noticed that list of online features ignores the fact that we can't play globally.

Ceric · « **Reply #6 on:** April 25, 2007, 03:18:50 PM »

I might be excited about this game but I made a point to rent the first because people liked it so much. I didn't like the core gameplay. Plus whats with the whole post apocalyptic theme going on? When the world is destroyed we Play Soccer/football.

18 Days · « **Reply #7 on:** April 25, 2007, 03:59:39 PM »

What else would we do in the end of days?

Also guys.

System friend codes are good for nothing.

NOOOOO! That's not true! That's impossible!

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #9 on:** April 25, 2007, 04:50:34 PM »

Dear Nintendo,

How can you possibly make us love you and hate you so much at the same time?

Sincerely,
Dirk

SixthAngel · « **Reply #10 on:** April 25, 2007, 05:28:26 PM »

The way they do ranks sounds great. By still gaining points when you lose and losing points when you leave should keep people from leaving games at the last minute or the second they fall behind.

Mario · « **Reply #11 on:** April 25, 2007, 05:41:50 PM »

Crap. There's no way i'm buying this anymore if Nintendo is going to force me to input numbers.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #12 on:** April 25, 2007, 06:03:09 PM »

Ian, we have a mission for you! Since you live in/near Vancouver. Go smack around Next Level for the stupid, redundant friend codes.

Ian, this is a sacred charge. Please do not fail us!

Do it quickly! There's still time!

Louieturkey · « **Reply #15 on:** April 25, 2007, 07:22:12 PM »

Ian, why have you not come back to tell us all about the smackdown?!!

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #16 on:** April 25, 2007, 07:49:49 PM »

"I've noticed that list of online features ignores the fact that we can't play globally."

That would be because it's not a feature. That would go under flaws, not features.

Dirk Temporo · « **Reply #17 on:** April 25, 2007, 07:55:55 PM »

A feature is just something that's a part of the game, which that is. A feature isn't necessarily positive.

But it's not a part of the game, so it's not a feature. It could fall under 'missing features'.

"Ian, we have a mission for you! Since you live in/near Vancouver. Go smack around Next Level for the stupid, redundant friend codes."

Ah man it's raining today and the Vancouver traffic is especially lousy in the rain. Besides if I smack them around they'll just redirect me to NOA in Washington who will then redirect me to NCL in Japan. So suddenly a simply smackdown laying turns into an international incident.

Plus this actually looks to be a significant improvement for Nintendo regarding online gaming. Nintendo is still trying their hardest to make it suck, dammit, but some good ideas are seeping through.

So what you are saying is that we need to coordinate?

First you Smack Next Level around, who should direct you to the Canadian arm of NoA.
You notify the Canada NoA smackers who smacks them around. After they redirect you to Corporate NoA that smacker calls the waiting NoA smacker to begin smacking their/there/they're. Once they get redirected to NCL we notify the NCL(Probably SUPER or one of the Japanese correspondents) Smacker who begins on them until he reaches the top.

During this whole process NoE is being continuously smacked around, by an alternating team no less, because hey they've done enough to have it coming.

Does this mean there's no way to do 2 vs. 1?

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #22 on:** April 26, 2007, 11:40:21 AM »

I'd imagine there'll be 2 vs 1 because it doesn't make any sense that they'd allow 1 on 1, 2 on 2 and 3 on 1, but no 2 on 1.

And NAL is smacking themselves around instead of bringing SPM out...

*blinks*

Did I just read that right? I'd better read again to make sure.

*reads again*

... Somebody tell me this can't be happening. Has Ian just TURNED DOWN a perfect and forum-sanctioned opportunity to level a barrage of criticism against Nintendo? Instead, has he actually uttered the words "significant improvement" in the same sentence?!?!?!?!?!

WHAT'S HAPPENING!?!?!?

Pittboi! Where are you! Surely you can right this unnatural balance! Quick! Somebody flame Nintendo! HURRY!
