From Nintendo Media Summit/ IGN Live Blog:
ZitatAlles anzeigenMario Super Sluggers. Coming to America. "We think that this is going to take these three wonderful areas of Mario, baseball and the unique capabilities of the Wii remote and bring them together in an exciting experience."
NOA's Bill Trinen takes the stage to chat about Mario Super Sluggers. Begins demoing the game. Previews the pitching and hitting mechanics, which are operated by the Wii remote. Gamers will pitch the ball by making a throwing motion with the Wii remote. To add spin to the ball, players simply twist the Wii remote while throwing.
Fielding the ball seems extremely simple. Bill just shakes the Wii remote and the fielders will automatically run toward hit balls. Once a ball is scooped up, he makes a throwing motion and they auto-throw it to the intended base.
Several of Bill's movements have gone unrecognized by the game. Not a very good sign.
Now Bill demonstrates the batting mechanics. When the ball is pitched, he can pull back the Wii remote and make a swinging motion to hit it. Alternatively, he can make a quick jerking movement with the Wii remote to hit the ball -- ideal for players uninterested in making grand movements to play Wii titles.
"Very simple and very approachable. It's based entirely off motion control. It's going to take the Wii Sports crowd and bring them into something that's more of a robust experience," Bill explains.
From seeing the demo in motion, we can confirm the following characters thus far: Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Daisy, Bowser, DK, Hammer Bro, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Waluigi, Wario, Toad, Toadette, Shy Guy, and Boo. The two teams in play were the Mario Fire Bats, and the Peach Royals.
Trinen promises more information about the game to come -- but not this week.

Ich fande schon damals den Gamecube Teil sehr interessant, aber dabei ist es auch geblieben. Jetzt kommt der 2. Teil der Serie am 19.06.2008 in Japan raus.
In "Superstar Mario Baseball (Gamecube)" konnte man ziemlich viele Charaktere freispielen. Ich glaub es waren ca. 50 Charaktere. Also müsste es in Sluggers mindestens genauso viele Charaktere geben. Wie man auf den Scans erkennen kann, wird man auch mit seinen eigenen Mii's spielen können, wie schon in MK Wii.
Die Wii-Version finde ich ziemlich interessant und die Wiimote ist perfekt für diesen Sport geeignet. Wenn Nintendo es schafft genug Abwechslung (z.B. verschiedene Wurfvarianten oder bessere Schlagmöglichkeiten) in das Spiel hineinzubringen, könnte das ein richtig geiles Fun-Spiel werden.
Wie sieht euer Ersteindruck vom Spiel aus?
