ONM: Mario Strikers Charged is the first wifi game for the Wii in the UK. Has that put pressure on you to get it right?

MI: (Mike Inglehart, Next Level Games): Our main goal is to ensure a quality gameplay experience so we’ve had to make a lot of design choices that all us to deliver that. We’ve never had to compromise anything that’s limited our wifi feature set; this game is about multiplayer and thats’s been our focus from the beginning.

ONM: Will we be able to play people from all over the world or are we limited to specific regions?

MI: Wifi in Mario Strikers Charged is region specific so we can ensure a quality gameplay experience. The game is very twitch based and reactive, so it’s important for us to keep lag to a minimum.

So, for waa_waa to clear things up: Mario Strikers Charged will be EU's first online Wii game, releasing on May 25th (mark your calendars guys). Random matches will be Region Specific. What's that mean? Well it means if you choose to play against a random person you will be paired up with someone in your region, a broad region I may add (for instance, if you live in New York your region is “limited” to North America), so don't worry about shortages of people. However, If you choose to play a specific person you can enter their friend code and play against them no matter where they are.
