Following in the footsteps of Mario Golf, Mario Power Tennis and Mario Smash Football, Nintendo once again brings sport to life in the latest of the Mario themed sport games series. Be prepared, this isn't your average baseball game - it's an arcade style outing featuring over 30 of your favourite characters and icons from Nintendo's Mario franchise including Wario Ware, Donkey Konga and Bowser Jr.
The game is packed full of fun features and surprises. There are more than 5 different themed stadiums to play in, each with their own unique characteristics inspired from previous Nintendo games like Peach Garden, Yoshi's Park and Wario Palace.
There are several game types in Mario Baseball including Exhibition mode, which features standard matches for up to two players and Challenge mode, where players wander through a world of wild trials, playing mini-games to earn coins and power ups, unlocking characters and clearing baseball-related challenges on their way to a showdown with Bowser. Toy Field Mode can be played with up to four players and the objective is to collect points through hits and coins in a selection of mini-games. Finally Mini-Game Mode involves a series of five mini-games, all of which can be played with up to four players.
Mario Baseball will score a homerun with both Nintendo and Baseball fans giving them a chance to play against their friends to decide who is the king of swing! This big hitting game certainly does not disappoint and provides addictive playing modes and fun all round entertainment.

| What a great game. Admitably it wasn't my first choice for rental, but despite that, I was willing to give it a go. And its a stunner. I'm no basball fan, but Mario Baseball takes out all the complex spot on aiming controls for batting and horrible precise pitching style that is on so many baseball games - instead it goes with arcade style. You just hit A to pitch, and A to bat. Of course, its a bit more complex with the inclusion of power shots but mainly its all down to timing. And its brilliant. Packed with mini games as well - but exhibition games should keep you having fun. Well worth renting.. at least... | ||
