Fun August 27, 2008
This is a great game.
I played the Gamecube version for a long time and have been really looking forward to this one. It did not disappoint. Similar to the previous version, but with enough differences to make it it's own game.
The main part of the game is very Mario Party like with a twist. A lot of the mini games being short baseball challenges. So if you like the Mario Party games this is a good one for you even if you don't like baseball.
The controls take a little bit to get used to and like with the other motion control games before it, sometime you get the controller reading a motion you did not make like swinging too early. But nothing you can't get used to.
Mario Super Sluggers is super cool! August 26, 2008
Mario Super Sluggers is a great game. You can play up to 40 characters including: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Birdo, and much more! The gameplay is simular to Wii Sports and the same with pitching. My favorite character is Pesty Pirana. (The big weed) If you love baseball this game is for you!
Great game for all ages! August 26, 2008

Got this game this morning and me and my 7 year old daughter are having a blast. It's fun for all ages. I love the controls. The only down side I see is that the mini games are kind of lame. But definitely worth the purchase.
 Now Batting, Mario! August 25, 2008

It has been nearly a year, and there have been so many games developed with Mario for the Wii that have worked their magic very well into Nintendo Wii gamers' hearts. With the massive success of Super Mario Galaxy from last year, that showed Mario is still an even bigger platforming adventure hero, and earlier this year with both Mario Kart Wii and the mammoth fighting styles of Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Mario mania has really delivered top to bottom. But, with so many Mario games, Nintendo has shown Mario well with sports titles here, just like they did for the Gamecube and Nintendo DS, and it is now time for Mario again to say batter up!!!
Mario Super Sluggers for the Nintendo Wii, brings in the well-rounded success that showed with Mario Superstar Baseball from the Gamecube on the Wii. This time around, it is a bit more exciting, as you play with your favorite Mario characters past and present to a baseball universe that is exciting and brings in the home run. In the game, there are many modes to master, including the all-new challenge mode, which expands well from the Gamecube original, where you can unlock all your favorite characters, as well as brand new stadiums to master you home runs including the all new-expanded Toy Field, the delightful Yoshi Park, which Yoshi made in the style of a cute amusement park, and the nightlife of casinos and Las Vegas at the new Wario City stadium.
The graphics for the game are very well-rendered within each one of the levels, and provides a new level of challenges and moves to master, including the all-new buddy jump, where you control the outfielders in the game by making a special over the top leap that can even rob the most powerful hitters a high-flying home run. The control is also simple and easy to master, even for those who've never played the original. You can easily with a flick of the Wii-mote, you can throw a curve ball, or hit the ball into the stands. There is though one big disadvantage with Mario Super Sluggers. Unlike the previous Mario sports titles like Mario Kart Wii and the soccer-style action of 2007's Mario Strikers Charged, you don't have the option of playing against other wannabe all-stars online. That alone is a big surprise that misses the mark in action.
Despite that one big problem with the multiplayer action, Super Mario Sluggers is a game that will really bring in the fun for anyone who is not just a fan of baseball games, but for anyone who is new to baseball action. While the game expands well from the Gamecube, it isn't a complete grand slam, but does bring in a few nice walk-off runs to the warp pipe. With only a couple of baseball titles made for the Wii, this is definitely one of the best, and a nice addition to your Wii library.
