Gamertell Review: Mario Super Sluggers for Wii

Gamertell has posted a mixed review of Mario Super Sluggers for the Wii, citing come of the minigames, utilization of the WiiMote and Nunchuck attachment and ability to play as your Mii in many modes as positives. Mii. As for negatives, it cites annoying background music, sometimes touchy controls and depth issues.

From the review:

"Mario Super Sluggers does offer a fair balance of cute and fun Mario style amusements with a bearable baseball game. It's (thankfully) more complex than the earlier, more simplistic arcade-style sports games, which helps keep it just above an average rating.

Even so, there are still some flaws and this is certainly not a pick-up-and-play-right-away game. You will definitely want to rent or borrow this before you buy just to test your tolerance level, especially if you have a standard shaped TV screen."

Why Hardcore Baseball Fans Have Unexpectedly Embraced the Wii's Mario Sluggers

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.

Wrecking Crew and Rhythm Heaven sound like they could be cool new IPs.

I believe Rhythm Heaven has had previous games, not sure about Wrecking Crew, it could be a new version of the demolition game that released at N64's launch.
