Super Mario Strikers

Did you ever get really wasted in college and wind up playing co-ed naked soccer in the dorm hallway? That's kind of what Strikers is like—except instead of naked co-eds, you're kicking balls at Donkey Kongs, Koopa Troopers, and other Nintendo celebrities. (And none of them just shotgunned a tallboy of Schlitz Ice.) With matches of five-on-five taking place on small fields with really basic controls, Strikers is classic arcade-style soccer, but the game gets an extra kick from power-ups, random Bowser attacks, and a Telemundo-style announcer. So while the cutesy look makes Strikers appear like a kid's game, the simplicity delivers plenty of harmless fun—as long as you're drunk…and naked…with a co-ed.
