Apesar de não revelar detalhes do jogo, a recente edição da Famitsu revelou que o jogo Super Mario Stadium Baseball para a Wii será lançado no dia 19 de Junho no Japão. Seguindo o mesmo conceito do jogo para a GameCube, Mario Superstar Baseball, este jogo de desporto desenvolvido pela Namco Bandai reune várias personagens da Nintendo para um jogo de baseball usando os controlos dos comandos da Wii. Pelo panfleto que foi disponivel, parece que os Miis terão suporte no jogo tal como acontece no Mario Kart Wii.
[Actualização]: A Nintendo of America revelou no evento Nintendo Media Summit 2008 que irá lançar o jogo nos Estados Unidos no final do ano sob o nome Mario Super Sluggers.
Nintendo Hits a Home Run With Mario Super Sluggers
The ongoing excitement over Nintendo’s groundbreaking Wii system gets a suprise springtime boost with the announcement of a new game. Kicking off its semiannual media summit in San Francisco near the company’s new sales and marketing offices in Redwood City, California, Nintendo of America today revealed plans for Mario Super Sluggers for Wii, giving baseball fans even more reason to root this season.
“Mario is truly a one-of-a-king character; clearly fans can’t get enough of him and his friends,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “We’re giving Wii users brilliant new ways to enjoy him while expanding our series of active-play games.”
In the same spirit as other sports-themed Mario games on Wii like Mario Strikers Charged and Mario Kart Wii, Mario Super Sluggers blends richly interactive baseball action with eccentric characters and elements from across the popular Mario universe. Players can swing the wireless Wiimote just like a bat or wave it toward the plate to deliver a masterful pitch, enjoying the same intuitive, easy-to-learn controls that helped make Wii Sports a living room hit. With Mario and his unpredictable pals filling out the roster, imagination and active-play innovation are sure to dominate the diamond in this lively title, scheduled for release later this year.
