Nintendo Co. Ltd.’s (ADR: NTDOY) Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii will debut on the simExchange on Wednesday, April 4, 2007. This stock will be categorized under the Sports genre. Shares will open for purchase at 130 DKP (forecasts 1.3 million copies sold worldwide over lifetime).

Mario Strikers: Charged (known as Mario Strikers Charged Football outside the US) is a Mario interpretation of soccer (known as football in other parts of the world). It is the sequel to Super Mario Strikers (GC). For those new to the series, Strikers was Nintendo’s experiment into the world of sports games. Strikers does for soccer what Mario Kart does with racing: simple game play with your favorite Nintendo characters. There are power ups and items you can toss at your opponents, you can charge up for a Mega Strike kick, and there are baddies like Thwomps that will block your shots

This edition features multiple stadiums with individual characteristics. One example is Thunder Island with gusting wind and lightning that will stun your players. The graphics are similar to those on the GameCube predecessor but now with more realistic crowds. The controls are also similar, with the analog stick on the nunchuk controlling your movement and the B button shooting the ball. New with the Wii game is the ability to swing the Wii-mote to attack players on the opposing team. The game will feature online multiplayer for single matches and complete tournaments.

The search feature has been changed so that only matches in the game’s title, publisher, and studio are included in the results for Listed Games. Previously, the search also looked for matches in the game’s summary but this would result in many irrelevant results, such as every game mentioning “Wii” in its summary when a player searches for “Wii Play.” Hopefully this will now result in more relevant searches for everyone.

After observing a few months of trading on the simExchange, the NPC market makers have been tweaked to provide more consistent liquidity across stocks and smaller price differences between their orders. The effect of these changes should result in more activity in higher priced stocks, such as console stocks. Percent price changes will not be so erratic. Prices should no longer jump between down 3% for the day to up 2% of the day. Prices should change more frequently but in smaller magnitude at a time.
