IGN plays Mario Strikers Charged online
- Thread starter _Alkaline_
- Start date
Okay so hold on. If I want to play a 2 on 2 match, my son and I versus my two brothers who live at my parents house, We will have to register FOUR different friend codes between us, as we each have seperate Miis? What in the hell are Nintendo thinking??! I sure hope that Mii friend code registration codes are the same for EVERY online game...

That explains Friend Codes. Not game specific ones. I think I remember reading an interview awhile back where somebody at Nintendo made the connection that you may not want somebody on your Mario Kart friends list coming in and ****ing up your Animal Crossing garden, so the codes should be separate. Which is the dumbest logic I've ever heard, just have a ****ing "block" option.

True. But sadly, when you are playing online with 2 players on one console you can only choose one Mii. The other player is like a guest. It was shown in the Video I posted earlier.syfodyas said:

Well in MSCharged, the codes are not game specific but Mii specific.TheGreatDave said:
Because the whole family is using the Wii, right? And I don't wanna play my mum's soccer friends!
neither does she play soccer nor Wii
Okay. Makes sense now. one Mii and the other can be a guest.
However, could I take my Mii friend code and play online on another persons Wii at their house and have all of my records/stats in tact? If thats an option then can we store friend code data on our wii motes much like we can store our miis?

So is the friend code universal in any way?
People are saying that I have to register each Mii with each person I want to play with. Does this mean I have to register it with each game? There are three of us who want to play online with my Wii, would we have to register 3 times per game?
Pretty shocking

Like Xbox Live then? None of my friends have their 360 on permanently, so 90% of the time that I want to set up a game of Crackdown I have to arrange it with them outside of Xbox Live.
It's the total lack of communication within this game that bothers me, unless there's some sort of text chat that I haven't heard about.

Online PC games are random matches most of the time...

I dont understand the interest behind the game. There are other countless online games to chose from except this, a follow up to a boring and mediocre gc game.
Ok it is Nintendo's first online Wii game, so what, there will be other much better titles till Christmas to devote time to. I guess everyone is caught into Nintendo's "Wii is online!!" hype

Mario Strikers is not that much of a football game, not with those supershot moves being the main dynamic behind the game. And the GC game was just "fun" in multiplayer, nothing to shout about imo (and definitely not with so many other excellent games out there).

Mario Strikers is boring just is you play single player, which lacks of something to make the game interesting. On the Wii, the game adds online, which means no need to play single anymore, so the biggest problem of the original is solved.
Also, the rankings are going to make the game a lot more interesting for those who takes competition seriously.
I made a table football game for mobile phone were the simple gameplay ended in a tremendous addictive game. That was due to two things: online ranking for competition and personal level ranking for make the CPU harder (also, there were different rivals which played the game in different ways, so the game didn't drop into routine easily).
So if a game as simple this table football game I did can get interesting and adictive in mobile phones... the deep gameplay with online gaming on Mario Strikers Charged is going to be amazing. At least, this is what I think of it.

Mario Strikers was ****ing great if you played multiplayer with poeple at the same level as you. I found that the game was too complex and too fast for people new to it, and when I had the opportunity to play with someone close to my level, both of us we're amazed on how great the match was.

Thanks, it sounds great. As a huge fan of Sega Soccer Slam, I'm all over this.Alkaliine said:

I actually like the idea that the more you knock the ball about between your players, the more the ball glows.. the more it glows, the more power you can throw into a shot / special move. It's gonna be fast and arcadey, and nothing like real football, but I'd think people would expect that.
I'm willing to give this a shot. I only know a handful of friends that have a Wii, so the friendcode thing won't be too taxing. It also means my brothers can have their own profiles. As there's no voice/text communication, and ranking only works when you play games with strangers, I'll probably be playing a lot of random people too.

¡ADELANTE! :lol EDIT: ups, no hotlinks allowed
Yeah, Boo can do that and Montymole can dig into the ground and appear inside your goal. But you can stop them just like the captains. I think it is good they have their own super shots, it is very fun
You enter the "WFC Central" and connect. Then you can choose "invite" and a list with every added friend is shown. It says who's online, who's playing and all of that. You invite them and they accept/deny or vice-versa.
Yes that's is. They're 12-digit codes. And not just that: you can have different profiles for several users on the same Wii.

Gawd i hate friend codes, but i see why they want you to have seperate id's so each Mii can have their own profile. The only thing i dont like is having to run the game to see if any friends are online....
Nintendo, hear this!! Add a new channel, 'Friends Channel'! Click on it, select your Mii and it automaticly checks your friends llist for each game and give their present status. If they're playing a particular game you want to play, Log off and start the game. If theyre not ingame, send them an instant message. DO THAT AND I'LL BE HAPPY!!!

He's a guest. In the video they suggested to create a "Team Mii" if you want to play together frequently. But that means new FC again.maxmars said:

why is it that users are the ones with the good ideas, instead of Nintendo??

I think Nintendo has the mentality of "when nintendo fans complain, people listen."
The first game lacked in-game music other than the menus, which was substandard at best. It looks as if they've improved on it, so some progress is being made.
I really wish they'd use custom soundtracks like in Excite Truck.

I really like how they've changed the gameplay. I thought it would play like the GC one, but this time it is more difficult, more strategical and more "serious". For example, you cannot shoot a lost ball with strength just pressing the B button like in the previous one. Now, only the biggest characters can do that and reach the goal (Donkey, Bowser...).
entirely correct. Nintendo could have easily circumvented all of this nonsense by using the system friend code as the game friend code. I understand why the DS doesn't have unified codes.. because it ties the cartridge (where the save is) with the DS (uniquely identified MAC address). But he Wii's storage area and MAC address are already intrinsically tied together. There was no need to establish separate friend codes. And when this itteration of Wii-online fails, hopefully Nintendo will learn and release Gen2 games with unified friend codes.fallout said:

I'm sorry to disturb you, but it will not fail or become close to it. I guess they will make changes to the friend code thing, like all you said, a "friends channel", a way to send embeded FC... remember that the Wii OS is pretty young and they has a lot of job to do in order to improve it. It's just a matter of time.
borghe said:
I agreed until it became clear that Nintendo was letting you have multiple profiles on one system. At that point the Wii code became inadequate, because it's not specific to any one profile on that system. I just hope there is only one friend code tied to your specific Mii. The system sucks, but I can see why they went with it. [sigh]

Well you either haven't played the GC one at all or not with any friends. Mario Strikers is anything but boring. You can criticize quite a few things in MS but I never found it to be boring at any time. For me MS is one of the best action sports games around. The best would be NBA Jam but that's a different story altogether.Annoying Old Party Man said:

One unified Mii code across all games = GOOD (best system)
One code for Mii, unique to each game = verrrrry bad
So we still have no clue how this system works. Great
Also the worst thing about friend codes is that if they're unique to each game, no one's going to want to put in all the gaffers they know or something, every time. With a gamertag, you wouldn't need to worry about this since your profile spans all games but making online play consistent with multiple codes is a chore.
