Genre: Sports
Release Date: August 25
Batter up! Join Mario and pals on the field in this frenetic version of arcade baseball. Special Wii controls let you hurl fastballs, snag grounders and swing for the fence with ease.
Why It's Hot: They should start calling him Mario Midas, because anything the Nintendo icon touches turns to gold. Super Sluggers picks up where the solid Gamecube game Mario Superstar Baseball left off, turning America's favorite pastime into a fast-paced game of hit, run and duck under the fireball. That's good enough for most.
Why It's Not: Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Baseball...we get it, Nintendo. Mario is an amazing athlete despite his rotund frame. Now please start putting him in more games like Super Mario Galaxy and fewer games that probably won't hold our attention for longer than a week or two.
