Nintendo Announces Mario Super Sluggers for Wii

Nintendo Announces Mario Super Sluggers for Wii

None

Nintendo of America announced their plans for Mario Super Sluggers for Wii. The game will be reminiscent of other sports-themed Mario games such as Mario Strikers Charged and Mario Kart Wii. There is no official release date yet, but the game will take full advantage of the Wii’s motion controls. According to the press release, the game should play a lot like Wii Sports baseball. We can only assume that fielding and pitching will be far more detailed, but there are no solid details yet. Here’s the word from the Horse’s mouth:

Mario Super Sluggers blends richly interactive baseball action with eccentric characters and elements from across the popular Mario universe. Players can swing the wireless Wii Remote just like a real bat or wave it toward the plate to deliver a masterful pitch, enjoying the same intuitive, easy-to-learn controls that helped make Wii Sports a living room hit. With Mario and his unpredictable pals filling out the roster, imagination and active-play innovation are sure to dominate the diamond in this lively title, scheduled for release later this year.
