Previously
revealed as "
Super Mario Stadium Baseball" last October, and now apparently dubbed,
Mario Super Sluggers, the Wii sequel to
Mario Superstar Baseball has been confirmed for US release, likely later this year. Nintendo briefly demonstrated the game today at a media summit in San Francisco,
IGN reports. As expected, the majority of gameplay is controlled by flicks and waggles (think:
Wii Sports' baseball with
shaky fielding), but some of the demonstrator's motions were "unrecognized by the game," IGN observed. "Not a very good sign."
In addition to the
known cast of playable characters, IGN confirms that
Sluggers will feature Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Waluigi, Toad, Toadette, and Boo.
Update: There's been some confusion about the game's title. Is it Super Mario Sluggers? Or Mario Super Sluggers? We're going with the latter for now. It's
Mario Super Sluggers --
for sure!
