Kicking off its semiannual media summit in San Francisco, Nintendo of America today revealed plans for Mario Super Sluggers for Wii -- Nintendo's take on baseball.
"Mario is truly a one-of-a-kind character; clearly fans can't get enough of him and his friends," said Cammie Dunaway of Nintendo. "We're giving Wii users brilliant new ways to enjoy him while expanding our series of active-play games."
In the same spirit as other sports-themed Mario games on Wii like Mario Strikers Charged and Mario Kart Wii, Mario Super Sluggers blends baseball action with characters and elements from across the popular Mario universe.
Players can swing the wireless Wii Remote just like a real bat or wave it toward the plate to deliver a pitch, the same way Wii Sports' baseball game is controlled.
Mario Super Sluggers is scheduled for release later this year.
