 Great game!!! October 4, 2008
My 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter love this game. You can play by yourself and play against the computer or with someone else. Aside from playing actual baseball, it has other mini-games that are fun.
AWESOME October 3, 2008
My whole family really loves to play this game. We actually have fun and enjoy spending quality time competing with each other. I highly recommend it.
It is super! September 29, 2008

We are happy to have purchased this game for our son, who is 5.
He has so much fun playing Mario Super Sluggers that even new games that we've purchased after it didn't make him that excited.
The graphics are gorgeous and all the characters are there. Their different personalities will change the way you use them during the games.
It makes baseball understanding easy for the little ones and yes, they don't sit to play! Lots of batting and pitching, fun mini-games.
The music could be better though... It can be annoying after a while if you are not playing.
It's definitely a great item to be in one's Christmas' list! Kudos to Nintendo for another great one!
Addictive controls and good use of Miis September 14, 2008

Nintendo sends its' stars back to the ballpark(s) in Mario Super Sluggers and this time around the Wii controls are in effect. The batting is just plain fun, a cock back power swing or a swish in the air at the pitch prove effective and the power ups make you want to try each one out at the very least. The unlockable fields and characters come easily as you go through the single player challenge mode which introduces new gameplay elements with completion of various scout missions etc..The mario kart style items make the action on the field all the more frenzied as defense becomes tougher and yet more accesible than ever thanks to the robust but simple controls. The pitching is fun and while limited has enough strategy to keep you hurling. The various control settings are nice for the kids but nunchuck and wiimote setting is where its at for most of the game.(minigames being the exception) After I beat bowser and had played through challenge mode, however I wanted more and going back to the minigames only added so much replay value. If you have a buddy who gets as good as you are you might find ALOT of replay value here but for single player you might find yourself looking for a little more gameplay after the amazingly fun challenge mode is over. Some in game trading cards and player specific items would have made this a little bit deeper of an excercise as would a slightly more fufilling swing and pitch system. Still I liked being able to use my Mii in the minigames and in exhibition games as well. Overall MSS gets it mostly right and is a ton of fun while it lasts.
A very fun baseball game, just not that deep. September 12, 2008
I am having a great time playing this game. To the people complaining about the controls, use a nunchuk. It gives you more control. I really wouldn't want to stand up and swing for 9 innings. I like the motion controls they way they are. They work well. The fielding is great. The base running is intuitive.
Most importantly the baseball itself is really fun and well done. The characters are great, the items are cool and the start powers are fun. I like the close-play cut screens.
The story mode is thrown in for fun. It lets you get to know and unlock all of the characters/players. The real fun is exhibition. No season mode ... no online play. Could have benefited from both in my opinion. That is the only reason for this game not to have 5 stars imo.
