User questions & answers

Question: Preorder extras
Answer: I think Gamestop gives Posters in the USA if you pre order it with them, But Amazon US won't be giving any pre order bonuses, I'm in Australia so we get a steelbook and stickers at our Gamestop aka EB Games
Question: Is this listing for the physical or digital copy of the game
Answer: Physical
Question: Why we can not play as Daisy
Answer: Sadly Daisy doesn't make the cut of primary characters again, though she is totes the best in Mario Strikers. However you can unlock and play as Rosalina from the Mario Galaxy games.
Question: Is this the same as the Wii U game
Answer: It's the same game but with a new bit of add-on content called Bowser's Fury which we don't know much about yet. This version also apparently is going to have online play. Lastly, from some footage comparisons I've seen, it looks like running speed has been increased in this version, and the characters can now perform a mid-air dive move like in other 3D Mario games such as 64 and Sunshine. That's all the differences I'm aware of.
