The individual games themselves never fail to be vigorously intense. Each compact field is designed wonderfully and each have their own, special gimmicks, with each field being of a different atmosphere and containing a respective song to simultaneously match the nature of the game and the field’s environment. Each and every character - including sidekicks - sports (ignore the pun) their own set of balanced stats and unique, quirky abilities to truly make the player put thought into their team dynamic. Fifa, with its real-life emulation, wishes it could be as half as radical as Charged.Ī few more noteworthy, standout traits of MSC are the balanced character and team dynamics, the uniquely gimmicky fields, and its perfectly fitting soundtrack. It is incredibly stupid how a new Fifa title releases and sells every year when MSC exists.
The art style is the first immediately noticeable indicator that Charged is a relentless and unforgiving gauntlet of intensity and grit, in which fouls are entirely nonexistent. So why exactly does Nintendo’s typical sports game formula work tremendously well with Mario Strikers Charged than any other Mario sports title? For one thing, Charged has a distinct personality that separates itself from the pack, which can be seen long before one even touches the game. For I do not say this lightly: Charged is one of the best video games I have ever played - let alone one of the best sports games. Nintendo covered just about every mainstream sport in that decade from tennis, to baseball, even to the Olympic Games, and though most of these sports games are indistinguishable from one another and forgettable (in terms of Nintendo just taking a sport and adding their own flair), Mario Strikers Charged was undeserving of being lost in the crowd. Games like Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Sports Mix, and Mario Hoops 3-on-3 were drowned in a sea of Mario sports titles, and are essentially only remembered today by hardcore Nintendo fans. Nintendo pumped out sports game after sports game (all featuring Mario and co.) during the 2000s for the GameCube, Wii, and Nintendo DS. It is easy to see why Mario Strikers Charged was severely overlooked on its release in 2007.
