Loot Ninja Review: Mario Super Sluggers (Wii)

Loot Ninja writes: "Simplistic controls can be a positive and a negative, and in this game it is both. Mario Super Sluggers lets you swing the Wii Remote to swing the bat and control of your favorite Mushroom Kingdom characters, but does it have enough to keep you playing? Let' s find out.

Graphically and audio-wise, the game captures the Mario style and theme very well. Since this is a follow up to the 2005 Mario Baseball game, it is a bit sad that graphics match that of what we are used to on the Gamecube a few years back. Nothing Earth shattering has been done to tweak the graphics of this game."

Too similar to the GC version! A fun game with friends but could have been a lot better with a season mode or some online features

Nice stuff. Not that I'd by any, I've got Zelder and Browl and they'd be the only games I'd get.

rrquinta5165d ago

Well, it will be interesting to see if these 4-5 games are the only ones they reveal will be part of the budget program or not. I would love to see Punch Out!, since I haven't yet had a chance to get that one.

theherp805165d ago

why did it take them so long for this to happen. maybe now i can get some of the older nintendo games at a reasonable price.

rrquinta5165d ago

Yeah, I'm not sure, TBH. They have had a discount program in Japan, but I guess they were still riding the "Wii is the s***" wave and figuring Grandmas wouldn't know any better and keep paying full price for Zelda, even after three years, or whatever.

Seedhouse5164d ago

They look fake to me?

Logos seem out of place and don't align with the rest of the artwork/ case, and the Wii branding looks as if it's layered on top of another image.

rrquinta5164d ago

Well, they could be fake, but only time will tell.

LoaMcLoa5164d ago

Oh, so it's like Player's Choice on the Gamecube?

Heck yeah!

NESpower5164d ago

They said in another link they are only $19.99. I'm buying some for sure.

great .... but no Games like Rogue Warrior LOL

jazzking20015461d ago

nice list, could not make one better

Davoh5461d ago (Edited 5461d ago )

I really want Legend of Mana to be finally released in Europe, but I doubt it'll happen.

Edit - How can someone disagree? It was never released in Europe, and although they announced a PSN version it would probably just be on the Japanese and American Stores.

SpoonyRedMage5461d ago

Kawazu has judged you unworthy.:P

There's tons of Square games we missed out on... even recent ones that have stayed Japan only...

Davoh5461d ago

I don't mind Japan-only games, as the saying goes, misery loves company, so as long as we're not the only ones not to see a release then it's all good xD

Alos885461d ago

If this list was written by me I'd have just written Deadly Premonition ten times. It's that good!

nunley335461d ago

I heard it's so bad it's good in a b-movie kinda way.

Alos885461d ago

Definitely true, I hope they release a demo since it's the type of game you either love or hate.

nunley335461d ago

Why would hail to the chimp be on that list, is there a large group of under-served fans of this game over in the EU? Really? I was this game well received enough to warrant an EU expansion? This game was rush out in time for the o8 elections here, that's 08 now. Maybe they could wait till there is some big election for some EU country, there was already a big UK one so wait till another comes i guess but then it'll just be older and less interest if that's possible.
