Would you like a new entry in the Mario Strikers series?

I just finished playing Mario Strikers Charged after more than six years without touching it, and I have to say: WOW. I had forgotten what a great, fun game that is! I just wonder why Next Level Games never developed a new entry for the Wii U. An HD Mario Strikers game would be amazing.

Among the things that I love from that game is how much personality the characters have. They really put an effort in making each character unique and highlighted their personalities by giving them unique animations and themes, all of which are awesome. I even like Daisy and Waluigi in that game, when I usually hate those characters (Daisy's voice is still horrible, though). The music is also amazing, The Classroom's theme being my favorite, closely followed by the results screen theme. Another thing I like is its difficulty: it's not easy to beat the game 100%.

So, would you like a new Mario Strikers game? What features would you like to see in it? Here are my ideas:

-All the captains from Mario Strikers Charged return.
-New characters include Rosalina as a new captain; she's a Power-type character who levitates around the field, much like in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. King Boo is also a new captain, keeping his look from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (since that game was also developed by Next Level Games and to differentiate him from the Boo sidekick). Toad is promoted to a captain instead of a sidekick (he's been too relevant lately with the New Super Mario Bros series, Super Mario 3D World and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker). Toadette is also a new captain.
-New sidekicks include Luma, Magikoopa, Goomba and Paratroopa.
-A new mode, called Captain's League, is implemented, which consists in making teams made of only captains, and no sidekicks.
-New items include the Lightning and the POW Block.

Yes but after Next level games finished with the coming Metroid game.
 
Hell yeah. It should kick the ass of Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA out the door.

I love Mario Strikers.
 
yeah sure.

Though considering Nintendo's direction with the recent Mario RPGs and sports-spinoff, I suspect a new Mario Strikers would more likely than not lack the ~edge~ and personality that made it stand out.
 
As much as I like Mario Strikers, I just get the feeling that Next Level is gonna come up with a bunch of great ideas and Nintendo will reject them for being too awesome.
 
Not particularly no.
 
Mario Strikers is one of my favorite Mario sports games so I will be most certainly up for it. I also like how unMario the Mario Strikers games feel, it's a pretty unique way to portray Mario characters.

I've thought up of a possibility of Baby Mario and Baby Luigi being captains because why not.
 
I agree with all your points, Anser. Heck, that's one of the reasons I'm going with a Strikers theme now. Even my favorite tunes are close to yours. The Classroom and the Sudden Death music are my absolute favorites. My only real complaint with this game is that the frame-rate rarely gets to perfect 60 FPS unless you're playing in the Classroom. Also, the roster might feel a tad small for today's standards, and I'd like to put characters like Mario and Luigi in the same team. But my favorite thing of this game is how expressive each character is, even those that are normally flat. Their themes that go along with them compliments this.

I also like the weirdly sci-fi vibe it has to it, it helps the Strikers games stand out a lot in my opinion.

Overall, yeah, I'd want a proper follow-up that expands on it just as how it expanded on Strikers, but I have my doubts if Nintendo is going to let Next Level Games pull it off successfully or make it turn out like that slop we call "Ultra Smash".

Someone should write a book on how a single game could definitely kill any expectation on the Mario Sports genre...
