It was sad to hear Joker talk about the last day that Nintendo Wii servers were online, having one last session and then being forced to move on from a game and community that was so important to them.

Besides the incredible artstyle and awesome trick shots what made this game feel so cool to me was the fact that every team was different - not just the captains but also the 3 minions you have playing with you. Each one had special moves, stats and gimmics that really made your team feel like it was your own.

I've been waiting for this video for like ever. Mario Strikers Charged was one of the best Mario Sports Games I've ever played growing up and it will always hold a special place in my heart from the gameplay, graphics and especially its music.

Charged>>>>>>>>>>>>battle league

9:52 hey that's me! Anyway, great video!

The game where I SWEAR from just the intro, everyone is basically out to kill each other...! 😳😳 Accompanied by INTENSE music. I hella respect what can be done with this game's scene but not only THAT, Next Level Games went WILD with the characters, their special attacks, and the overall tone of this game. SO wild that clearly... Nintendo won't allow that to happen EVER again. Oh, Waluigi... Your Crotch Chop is greatly missed. We won't be seeing Daisy's "hot stuff" even if she returns in Mario Strikers Battle League. And MOST importantly... Petey Piranha's gangstah swagger will likely be gone (if he returns) There is just so much STUFF. So much INTENSITY. So much... CHARGE. 🔥 🔥 EDIT: Also, can we get an "F" for our boi Kritter (our OG goalie)?

I wish i would've known about all this. At the time i just played online every day through random matches and this is still one of my favorite games ever made and I was very competitive

Holy crap, seeing and hearing Wii Troopers took me way back. I was in a different Wii clan back in the day for Smash Bros Brawl, and Wii Troopers were like our rivals lol.

After so many times posting in every social media to do a video on us, I’m so glad is done. No understands the emotion that me, Cobra, Joker and many others have gone through the years. May our community live for a long time!

HOT TAKE: I personally like Mario Sluggers more than All Stars Baseball.

I know this wasn't the point of the video at all, but I don't think Brawl was disappointing at all. Sure it wasn't that great competitively, but casually it's one of the best games ever.

Takes me back to quite the strange era of middle school. It took years to beat Diddy Kong in career mode, was disappointed how easy it was replaying it as an adult. The magic in being garbo at games is something real and I feel like squidward with this whole ageing stuff and trying to remember what it felt like.

I really want to play Charged again cuz holy shit that game was amazing and this new one is ehhh decent gameplay but bare fricking bones. I think what made me love Charged was the intensity it had from the artstyle to the music everything in that was so cool. I mean back in the day you wouldn't expect a mario game where everyone is all pissed and ready to kill each other, it was so different.

Nobody can tell me brawl is bad when I had so much fun with it

i loved this game so much as a kid. literally got it and thought "eh whatever" and then proceeded to fuel my entire childhood with it.

Charged Football will always have a place in my heart just because of how cool it looked to my young self, and still looks amazing today.

Very happy to be a part of this! Thank you so much for having us!

Aaaah, the video I was waiting for you to make is finally here

12:43 - The demonstration of the Titan's Chip was really well put together and nicely built with having seen instances of it occurring throughout the video. I do adore Mario Strikers Charged Football so it's great to see this Wii game get plenty of love, even with the 3rd entry having released. It was real fun hearing about those early Wii online days.

I played Charged religiously for some years back then. Got damn good, but of course I moved on as years passed. Played Battle League and thought the gameplay was pretty good and liked that the characters had some charisma. There was one problem, I already played a superior version of the same game and it was Charged. So if there’s anything I wanna thank BL for is getting me back into Charged and reminding me just how much it meant to me. Thought I lost my skill of the game over years, but after tightening some loose screws turns out I still got it baby!

"Disappointing sequels" is a bit harsh. Maybe from a competitive standpoint, but they were still great games otherwise.

Charged is better than Battle League prove me wrong

Freaking love this game. I really want to get into the competitive scene.

I just started playing Charged again. Battle League is embarrassing when compared to Charged!

Thanks for uploading =) Mario Strikers is a sick series. Heavily considering picking up Strikers 1 or Charged because I don't wanna drop $60 on Battle League =x

A bit unfortunate it came out already, but well, what can you do? Charged looks like fun though, it looks so fast-paced.

The one thing that made me really fall in love was its aesthetic. Instead of wearing standard football uniforms, they wore armor. Instead of a football, it was a metal ball. There were fences that would electrocute the players, items that would cause absolute chaos. The football fields looked like battlefields. The music was hard or soft rock and really oozed a competitive atmosphere. There really was never a game like it afterward. One of a kind.

Great like always. Would love for you guys to one day cover Comp TF2. Its very much a grassroots comp scene that has all been done by the community since 2007 which you guys love to do. Multiple lans each year all run by players that love the game.

Yo! My childhood :D

Around 8:48 the guest didn’t have the words for the formats. In the FGC it seems like they had either “standard” or “round robin” (everyone plays everyone”

Just discovered your channel. What a gem.

I love this game posting the gameplay on my channel post twice a week but to find the community around this game. I wish I jumped into this community back when I was a kid. To see how people to still play this game just wow.

I used to be a top player on the boards when this game was online it was so fun. I’m gonna try to play again hopefully since ppl can lol

Babe wake up Akshon made a new esports video

Another great video!

Goated game

Cover phantom dust next. That would be awesome. I love your vids btw.

holy shit your content is actually fantastic, you bring attention for me as a subscriber about these games that dont have content creators that actively try grow the game through that. keep doing what you do please, maybe you can do itg?, or tetrio (online tetris game) :)

You love to see such a passionate community even when the sequel is worse than the original :D

Love this game and always will. I was surprised to hear Arbok in this. I knew him back in the days that we played and was in Wii Troopers as well for a bit lol. If you haven't played this game, you should! Huge recommend.

I’m here before the Coney react!

I remember the day when strikers switch came out I literally walked into the Store Saw a $20 Copy of a used Mario kart double dash and cancel my preorder of strikers. The lack of content killed it for me.

We had some great battles in MSCBAY I played all these guys! I was the crappiest player at first who never gave up and then Wt Julien took me under his wing and then I got pretty good.

Subscribed. I don’t know why I wouldn’t LOL

Thanks for the vid

I remember seeing J0k3r on the forums in late 2000s. And pretty sure I even played him. Fucking mind boggling, because I was like 10 at the time😲

yay another mario sports video

I think that Charged will maintain its competitive scene since Battle League looks to be a disappointment and a step back. Personally, I think the Gamecube OG is the best overall.

Every game will become an esport according to Mr Akshon.

PC Chad checking in. Nice to see arbok on the vid

I want to play Mario Strikers. It looks so fun!

Anyone remember MSCSKY? It was an old strikers charged chat room

One of the best if not the best game Ive ever played. I would play this daily. And I was good enough to go on 30-0 streaks and make it on player of the day. I would only really have trouble with Waluigi mains throwing the ball on his purple vine special item then rolling it in the goal.

But Sluggers is better than Superstar Baseball...

Super smash brothers brawl was amazing not disappointing

Nice vid! Would be sick to see a MK8/MK8D video on this channel, could sure send yall the way to the right people 😁

I got bored and finally decided to beat Perry after all these years and I finally did it

I love Mario strikers charged

Biggest takeaway for me is that apparently people hated Mario Super Sluggers. Why? I loved that game as a kid.

You are wrong about Brawl

Make videos on underrated esports games

Battle League was such a huge dissapointment for me. Glad I still have my Wii and MSC.

(13:16) It seems weird to have your own games compete against each other.

Soo who else was disappointed by how battle league played... like all they needed to do was do charged on the switch

I went to a local con last weekend where they hold a 2v2 Mario Strikers Battle League Football that I couldn't participate or watch due to me being on shift at work, also, I meet a couple of people that after playing it, felt in love with BLF's gameplay and they're getting the game lol

Diss super smash bros brawl all you want, the game is my favorite in the series because of it's amazing story and great cast of characters, also featuring the first time 3rd party characters

My favorite non fps game

Oh charged is Battle network isnt

Battle League had such potential man, but it was hit with horrible business practises by nintendo.

the reason for items on is probably because they didn’t play the challenges

learned somethin new , thought the 2 were the same

The DLC trailer: "We added Daisy and Shy Guy!" Reality: "Ok fine have Daisy you fucking bastards, oh but by the way we are gutting half of the entire roster!" Things I would change... 1. Patch out the Death Lob, but keep the titans chip. 2. Un-nerf Technique, un-nerf long shots, nerf uncharged shots, buff charged shots, nerf cross-shots, nerf interceptions, and buff tackles. To clarify I would make it much easier to defend against cross-shots, while making charged shots more effective. The best way to do this, is to change what tackles do. To put it simply I would either leave the stun duration alone, but I would also add A LOT of knockback to tackles! If I tackle someone with a charged tackle it should push them clear out of the goalie area. 3. Interceptions and items need a slight cooldown. I'm really tired of every match just devolving into item spam madness...especially in the galactic cups. (Because intercepting an interception from another interception which was its self an interception of one of Boom Boom's throw ins should not be a thing that happens every single round of a match, not even in the Chain Cup) 4. I would make it possible to turn off items and Hyper Strikes in club mode. 5. No more slow-mo on hyper strikes in Club mode, but items can still be put down (at least this has some semblance of strategy). 6. I would limit Boom Boom's throw ins to only that teams side of the court, because why the hell does he constantly throw it clear to the other side, when I have multiple eligible receivers near him. No seriously he is the goalie, the goalie is supposed to be on your team, not a third party. WTF?! 7. We need an absolutely MASSIVE buff to friendly AI, no seriously the AI is so bad, but only for your team. I know they "buffed" Boom Boom, but actually that just hurt it that much more, because it feels like ONLY the opposing goalie is better, and "Boom Boom diff" is an even bigger problem then ever before! Its not just the goalie either, every match in a cup battle feels like a constant 1 VS 9, and I think its even worse then before. Pre-patch AI behavior was bad, but post-patch I literally have had instances where CPUs just move around and nothing else. 8. Add more game modes, add a lot more gear sets, more characters, more stadiums, add button remapping, implement play invitations, add a spectator mode, add a story or campaign mode, make the visual assist mode a lot better, make the hyper strike bar easier to see, make the ball itself A LOT easier to see (maybe by bringing back its design from Charged), allow each member of a club to have 2 strikers each not just one (I mean if u can have 2 players each then why the fuck not), and add A LOT more incentives to either join or start a Strikers Club . 9. I would change how the CPU difficulty setting works, I would add a new "Brutal" difficulty to CPUs, but would also make "Hard" a bit easier. So, the new "Hard" CPUs would land between current Normal and Hard, while the "Brutal" difficulty would be slightly more difficult then the current "Hard" CPUs. This is how I wish the game could be....instead of the absolute mess I am currently dealing with....would this fix all the issues…no, not even close, but it would b a good first step!!!

I really hope that Battle League can have a thriving community, I know this video came out before the game came out and the game is getting trashed on like crazy but as long as the strikers community keeps it alive, I’ll be happy. Also the updates should keep people coming back and hopefully will get new people into the series!

Will mario be in fifa 23 now?

niiiiceeeee

Taking part in clan wars during the first year of this game has to be one of my favourite teenage memories Edit: Oh hey, they mentioned my old clan (Excessive Force)

Nintendo didn't make Sonic Riders LMAO

1:58 bro there's no way this has sold more than Mario Kart lol

Well.. I wonder how they like new Mario strikers.

10:08 *bro the anxiety I feel it*

A view on Mario Strikers: Battle League would be cool, in a couple weeks the 1 year anniversary will happen, and there is still a pretty big competitive community with tournaments and leagues like the Mario Strikers Charged and Super Mario Strikers communities

13:47 no one wouldve bought striker if they putted kart first! or brawl!

New video :D

is the newest mario strikers even good or better than the prev two???

Can you make a vid about RF or Lost Saga?

please make a Nox pvp history ..... im Nox speedrunner, i dont have much to say

I cant beat Diddy kong but it's still is great game

Mario sluggers, was the best game on the wii besides Mario kart in my opinion. The roster was phenomenal

Pied wishes he was as good as me

Calling sluggers bland and boring is wild

If only battle ligma was good :(

Do Critical-Ops, that mobile game has become an esport

0:23 in my opinion sluggers wasn’t even that bad

Melee was not a weaker sequel...

Sluggers is good tf

Nintendo didn't release dumbed down shallower sequels on the Wii though. I mean sure Brawl is more casual...but it's not more shallow as a whole and it has more content then Melee, if anything Brawl is the masterpiece. Sure the baseball Mario Wii game could be seen as a disappointment...but it's not all bad. Also MKWii>MKDD and Warioware Smooth Moves>Wario Ware Gamecube. So there wasn't only one title that was from the Gamecube era that had a great sequel...MULTIPLE games are like that.

Hold the phone! Mario Super Sluggers was amazing! Better than any strikers game to me.

Sluggers was bad? I thought sluggers was just as good as the first. I don’t understand motion control complaint at all as i though you had to use them due to the amount of complaining but I found out you don’t even have to use them their is a controller option that allows only buttons so yeah I don’t get it.

Welp
