As the football (aka soccer in America) season gets into full gear, Nintendo UK announced today that they have signed football players Ian Wright and Shaun Wright-Phillips to promote the new Wii football title, Mario Strikers Charged Football. The TV ad sees Ian and Shaun at home battling another team of opponents online using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. To celebrate the launch, Ian Wright will also be appearing at GAME, Oxford Street from 9am on launch day (25th May) playing against challengers in store and signing Wii hardware and software for fans. Mario Strikers launches across Europe on Wii on the 25th May 2007 for the estimated retail price of around 50 Euros (£35 in the UK).
