I forgot that Mario sports games can be good. Mario Super Sluggers is an incredibly well crafted baseball game with tons of replayability and depth leading to a well rounded game with small issues.

To start with praises, I love how good Baseball feels to play in this game. Mario sports games are supposed to add whacky fun to normal sports and it's no different here. Both fielding and batting feel great and the addition of motion controls kinda work for me. There's a ton of the depth to this game with pitching and fielding that can completely change in the game if you know what your doing which I love. And I love how big the character roster is.

However, the story mode is a bit of a let down. It's a point and click adventure that just teaches you the mechanics of the game which is kinda lame. And unfortunately the CPU's aren't as well balanced as I wish they could be.

Overall, a great sports game that works both in single player and multiplayer that is only bogged down by a lackluster story mode. A - tier.

Any game that I had fun with as a kid and that my friends still enjoy playing today already starts at 3 and a half stars for me. This game has so much love put into it and it is amazing how much fun can be had when there is really only one game mode I care about. This game has a great roster and there are so many hidden gems such as Toadsworth. (As soon as I learned how good of a pitcher he is I managed to piss off my friend so bad that he jumped on me in real life). You can play without RNG, but having a little bit is a fun way to add some variety to the game and get angry reactions from friends which is always fun. Even the single player campaign is fun. My friends who grew up with it get a lot more out of it than anyone new to the game. Other party games that I have feel more accesable to new players. That is a very minor gripe, however, and the game still deserves a very high rating.

shake the wii remote: the game. I liked this game a lot when I was a kid, but when I came back to it with my brother and we realized just how much wagglin we were really doing it took a bit of the excitement away. The game is also pretty broken in terms of game balance, it's WAYYYY too easy to crack home run after home run. I think the presentation of the game is cool though, the roster has a lot of interesting characters to make your team out of, and you can even play during both the day and night which I always thought was cool. The stadiums to play in are super unique with fun gimmicks and aesthetics in each of them. It's a fun mario baseball game, but not as good as its predecessor.

An incredibly fun and well-made Mario sports game. I'm really sad that Sluggers has never had another installment, as I think it deserves it way more than Golf/Tennis. The Wii era of Mario Sports (Super Sluggers, Strikers Charged, Sports Mix) is absolutely the strongest, with the best designed gameplay that has for some reason just been forgotten by Nintendo.

This game has a Smash Ultimate size playable roster and a ton of different adjustments to play any given game, making it incredibly replayable. The Wii doesn't track hours, but I would have to guess I played this game for about 300 hours at least. I only just wish that it ever had online, or we could get a new Sluggers game with online, because I know that even today I would play the absolute shit out of that. I truly have no idea why Nintendo only ever makes Tennis and Golf games now, it makes no sense at all to me.
