Simplistic controls can be a positive and a negative, and in this game it is both. Mario Super Sluggers lets you swing the Wii Remote to swing the bat and control of your favorite Mushroom Kingdom characters, but does it have enough to keep you playing? Let’ s find out.
Graphically and audio-wise, the game captures the Mario style and theme very well. Since this is a follow up to the 2005 Mario Baseball game, it is a bit sad that graphics match that of what we are used to on the Gamecube a few years back. Nothing Earth shattering has been done to tweak the graphics of this game.
Looks like Mario is getting into the swing of Major League Baseball by attending the September 5th game at Safeco Field between the Seattle Mariners and the new York Yankees. Nintendo is planning on setting up interactive kiosks throughout the park where fans can play Mario Super Sluggers between innings. Also to spice things up the gang over at Nintendo will be giving away a prize package every inning, which includes a Wii and a copy of the game. Not a bad way to watch a baseball game and get a shot at winning a console, more ballparks should try similar things to get fans interested. So if your in the area drop on by Safeco Field and check it out.
When : September 5th
Time : 7:10 PM
Where: Safeco Field 1250 1st Ave S. Seattle WA 98134
Mario is the world’s greatest athlete apparently. He now takes a swing, no pun intended, at baseball. Join Mario and Co as the take the field. Bonus points if Princess Peach is up and the count goes to, “Two Balls”.
