Play ball! It's been three years since Nintendo launched Super Mario Baseball for the Gamecube and now they're back up to the plate with their latest installment of the Mario baseball series; Mario Super Sluggers. With a new platform to play on and new gameplay elements to explore, Mario Super Sluggers aims to hit one out of the park and surpass the success of its predecessor and put another run on the board for the Mario sports series.
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.
full remake of the original 2 goldensuns on gba would be awesome
i didnt enjoy the third one on 3ds as much though
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.
