New games this week: Mario Strikers Charged edition
When it comes to new-gen
releases this week, the Wii stands alone with the North American release of
Mario Strikers Charged and (get this!) it's ... online! That's right, as Nintendo continues its
cautious entry into the world of online multiplayer with their Mario-infused soccer title, our Xbox 360s and PS3s go untended. Of course, there's a litany of DS games (including the addictive
Picross), and the PSP makes a strong showing with three titles (including
Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl) so despite the summer gaming doldrums, there should be a little something for everyone.
