Jeux-France Writes: "Here are some images of better quality of Super Mario on Wii Sluggers from the Japanese magazine Famitsu. The game of baseball in the world of Mario released on June 19 next to Japan."
The regular season of Major League Baseballis over. Washington took the cup, and the boys of summer are off to hibernate until spring. For the baseball superfan, this means many long months without their sport of choice, so they've turned to the virtual world. And rather than the super-sims or manager games, a Mario spin-off baseball series seems to have captured people's attention.
Mario Superstar Baseball hit the GameCube in 2005, and its sequel Mario Super Sluggers landed on the Wii in 2008. There hasn't been a new baseball spinoff since developer Now Production's closure, unless you count Super Mario Party's baseball toybox, but the decline in Mario sports games hasn't deterred the dejected baseball fans of the r/baseball subreddit from picking the game apart.
Nintendo trademarks four new titles. The names of the titles are Wrecking Crew, Rhythm Heaven, Mario Super Sluggers, and Golden Sun. Let us hope something new will come from these trademarks, either a remake or a new title.
Wrecking Crew and Rhythm Heaven sound like they could be cool new IPs.
A.J. says: "I don't like sports but for some reason I love playing baseball video games. Here, I'll cover all the bases as to why this sport appeals to non-fans like me so let's get this ball game going."

What do you know . . . ANOTHER remake for the Wii. Where is the original IP stuff. You know I'm right. And no, WIi Sports and Wii Fit don't count.
and another bubble gone. I have a wii. im not just hating blindly. Why can't a state the obvious. Do you not agree the is a bunch of rehashes?
i was thinking about getting a wii.....nahh
I'm not so concerned with the "Mario" as I am with WHY DO WE NEED SO MANY SPORT GAMES?! Seriously, Wii Sports and Wii Play is enough.
