Mario Super Sluggers brings arcade-style chaos to the baseball diamond with wacky power-ups and special abilities for Mario and his friends. The motion controls are simple and accessible, making it easy for anyone to jump in and start smashing home runs. While the core gameplay might lack the depth of a true baseball simulation, its over-the-top action and multiplayer modes offer a fun and hilarious twist on the sport, perfect for casual party game sessions with friends.
I am logging EVERY game this year. Including the randos. This one’s a half rando since it used to be a big Youngbaseddemigod game and I just got it to work again after 6 years. Another simple but awesome title for 2024. What’s there to say really? It’s Mario baseball, the equivalent to every other Mario sports game but baseball. I’ll add that I love the “story” mode. Nintendos magnum opus blows every other game I reviewed and their stories out of the water no question. Nah I’m playing, but it’s still a cute mode. Every main character has their own little area and familiar characters associated with them which you have to collect (I am quite partial to the giant donkey kong area, finally some respect.) But yeah, looks cool, has pretty good sound design and tunes, cool mini games, great time at a party. Nothing but a great time to be found with this semi underrated gem!
If there were better controls (or no motion controls at all) I would rate this three stars...my arm got sore after just one game of baseball 😭😭😭
