I heard of this, and still can't quite believe it. A great deal for Europe, this...

...except online play will probably be dependant on friend codes. Smilie

I'm still slightly dubious about the quality of the game - football is a team sport, but here the 'teams' seem to all revolve around one player. Having players with more equal abilities would be nice. Also, the special moves and five-goal Mega Strike won't improve the game. I'll reserve judgement for now, but Nintendo/whoever the developer is really need to make this great if I am going to buy it, online play or no online play.


Screwing the rules since 1989.

Well i'm going to buy it, i've got the first one and it was great.This one should be better with the online play.

This is coming out much sooner than I expected - excellent news. I think they've positioned this quite cleverly, as everybody will be wanting to try out the first Wii online title, and so this gives people incentive to buy a game that otherwise probably wouldn't have done too well if released after some of their other games they have coming up.

Looking forward to it!

Wow I guess it might not be out over here in NA as soon as it is over there, that kinda sucks :/ online play will probably be one of the thing that sells this to the masses.

Battalion Wars plz.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

So just like real football you mean?

This sounds ok i guess, but ive been slightly sceptical of Mario sports games in the past and I will be waiting for the C3 review til i buy/disregard this title Smilie

It's a press release.

Wahey, good news. I hope there is a decent match up online mode, seeing as Friend Codes will be a pain.

Can't wait for this then! Lucky us!

Battalion Wars is suppose to be coming out in the summer. They're trying to make the game a good as possible.

Mario Strikers on GC was tons of fun with friends so I'll be interested to see how this one turns out with the Wiimote controls. As for online.... friend codes.. wahhh. O well, online is more of an added extra for me.

Have been looking forward to this since Mario Strikers on the GameCube.

This game should be a god send, with online play.

Shame i have a politics test on the 28th. Damn Alevels.

Friend codes aren't gonna be that bad - just google for them once you have the game you'll find enough codes to play with I'm sure

You can't do that though unless you inform the person who owns the code you want to play him.

What's worse, is that Pok

Congrats to EU, once again I sit with my disgusting friend jealousy. The US got pwned!

Don't hate, congratulate!

To me, it's sounding like the online system isn't going to be that bad. Yes there will be friends codes, but there will still be matchmaking games, so jumping in and playing with people across the globe won't be a big deal. The most annoying part is going to be sitting there on the phone trying to type in your friends 16 digit number via the wii-mote.

wooohooo!!! i didnt expect this game to come out until September.... and i didint expect Wii Online to be online this quick!! Smilie

Anyway awsome news!! Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

DAMNIT!!! I have to wait till the summer to get this!?! Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn... damn.

Well, I still look forward to it, so you guys getting it in May better give it good reveiws, spill it all and what not.
