Mario Super Sluggers (Wii, 2008)

Mario Sluggers is one of my top picks for the Wii. This game is pure fun! Simple enough for the whole family to enjoy and it’s also a blast to play against the computer!

Besides playing a game of ball, there are several mini-games and an adventure for Mario with lots to explore. Some of the ball players have some very cool special pitches and batting swings, such as Donkey Kong throwing barrels and Luigi's hurricane swing.

This game while very fun can be a bit simple and a "walk-through" in some parts. The controls are actually pretty good and the first few times I played it, I threw out my arm! The swing action on the bat is nice, but could be more realistic like the baseball game on Wii Sports.

I recommend this game for family fun and to anyone who enjoys sports games but can't get into the more complicated "pro" games. Mario Sluggers definitely keeps the true spirit of Nintendo!

This is a fun, new twist on baseball for the Wii. The controls and game-play make it different than the baseball in Wii Sports. Also, not only do you play with the Nintendo characters, but certain characters can combine together to make special plays. I really enjoyed playing baseball and beating Bowser. This is a great game that I instantly liked when I rented it.

This game is alot like the Baseball on the Wii Sports, but there are major differences as well. There are alot more buttons to push and alot more things to learn! There are also 'special moves' for the batting, pitching and the outfielding. (For instance when Mario uses his 'special move' in batting his bat turns into a Fire Bat and will hit the ball extremely far.)
The game is rated "E" for everyone, but I would say the game is best suited for ages 8 and up just because of all of the buttons you have to use to play effectively.

Best Wii game ever! I am not usually a huge fan of sports games but this one will suck you in. Maybe not the best game for very young children, only because there is a lot going on at one time--may be hard for young ones to keep track of. GREAT game for adults. It is baseball complete with batting, pitching and fielding PLUS attacking the other team with error items, dodging their attacks, and maneuvering around a field that is itself out to get you all! What could be better!

This game is a lot of fun and everyone that owns a Wii should try it at least one time. This is one of my son's favorite games for the Wii. If you like playing baseball this is a must, Nintendo adds a new twist to baseball with the cast of characters and fun antics. This is one of the top must own games in my opinion.
