It's long been known that a Mario baseball game was in the works, well today at the Nintendo Media Summit some more details have slipped out.
The title has been confirmed as Mario Super Sluggers. As you'd expect, it will deliver a more in-depth baseball experience than that seen in Wii Sports, but with similar controls.
You throw pitches with a swoosh of the Wiimote, adding a twist for spin or using the A / B buttons for specials. A shaking motion is used to simulate running between bases.
Some of the characters featuring in-game have been revealed too:

The only baseball game I would ever buy.

That pretty much announces Waluigi, Yoshi and definitely Baby Mario.

Wow man I think this is going to be like strikers. Big, but not too big.

I hope Petey is in the game, he didn't appear in Mario Kart Wii.

Can't wait for the next mario baseball game.

So, is this going to be a fraction of Wii sports costing $50?
SkullHydra said:
I hope that you can play as Dry Bones.

Sa'weet, the first one was excellent but now real pitching, that's raw.
Wiipaw said:
This game is going to use Miis right? I ask that about every game.
wii fanatic said:
I knew it was coming eventually. A sequel to Mario Superstar Baseball. Will it be better? Or just a run-off of the original?
Plaugefiend said:
Hopefully it won't use too much of Wii's Baseball, because it sucks. Too damn hard to hit the ball.

I hope it changes more stuff and it is less like Wii Sports.
YoshLee said:
I can't see what you guys are talking about, the controls in Wii baseball are simple. Yes I don't want this to be a Wii baseball spin off but it wouldn't matter if there were a few similarities.
Wiiman said:
The first one was awesome! I hope this one is better.
Wiirock said:
Just to let you know miis and Petey are in the game.
Wiirock said:
This game is going to be awesome. They are bringing back all the characters in the game. They also should bring back some stadiums. This game will be so better than cruddy Wii sports. They are putting in new characters like baby Peach, baby Daisy, baby DK, miis, Wiggler, Funky Kong and Tiny Kong.

Petey Piranha is an awesome character and an excellent batter.
