Super Mario Sluggers batting video

Category: Wii, Posted: 07/03/2008 at 08:29PM CDT by Eddie Inzauto, Senior Editor

Super Mario SluggersNamco Bandai and Nintendo's Super Mario Stadium: Family Baseball (Super Mario Sluggers in the US) has been available in Japan for a couple of weeks now, and is scheduled to hit North American shores during the last week of August.

The game promises to bring typical Nintendo mascot action, a la Mario Tennis and Mario Superstar Baseball, to the Wii. It takes a simple, pick-up-and-play approach, and makes use of the console's motion controls for pitching and batting.

The video below shows off exactly how the Wiimote input translates into in-game action behind the plate. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it is the Mushroom Kingdom on a baseball field, and if your home team is anything like mine, you might actually prefer that.

I hate the music, sounds like a poor remix of a 8-bit Sonic track.

Looks kind of like the baseball on Wii Fit...
