Nintendo showed some footage at GDC of their new Mario sports game, Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii. You take to the pitch as all the characters you’ve come to know and love from the Mario series. It’s similar to the Gamecube title Super Mario Strikers from 2005, but adds some prettier graphics and Wii controls. You use both the Nunchuck and Wiimote for this game. As you can see in the video, you get to use the motion sensing controls of the Wiimote in some places, which looks both cool and tough to do. The game is scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2007.
