Ok so here's the thing. I wanted to try this game and give it a fair chance, but between the input lag on my controller for the emulator I was using, the pretty hard to get used to controls and mechanics, and my heavy childhood nostalgia for the Wii game, I just couldn't get into this one and make any meaningful progress. I won't be rating it since I didn't really complete it like I did the other games and I'll put it in the dead middle of the ranking of the Mario Sports/Kart series list when that comes out. Sorry Mario Superstars Baseball, it's not you it's me.
The only way you're getting me to play a sports game is if an enthusiastic voice says "Nice On!" or if it's got Mario in the title, and THIS, this is peak Mario sports gaming. My brother and I spent countless hours as kids playing this game. Beating "campaign" mode again and again, versing against one another, and teaming up to take on NPC teams.
