Yeah I saw this linked from Penny Arcade. If it's anything like Mario Golf or Mario Tennis it will be lots of fun. I'm glad though this won't be coming out soon enough to be competing with our game.

I remember someone mentioning it in one of idontknow's Mario game idea threads.

The game looks neat though. I'm not big on realistic sports games - I like the fun, over exaggerated ones with crazy power-ups. This will probably be one of those kinds of sports games 😃

Still more looking forward to the Zelda game. The Kirby one looks neat too. Actually, they all do, except maybe Donkey Konga. Not a big fan of the peripherals. After the Duck Hunt light gun (the only one that matters,) they've all gone downhill. :tongue:

What's wrong with the super scope!!

Okay, okay, I know I'm the only person who loves the thing... although it'd be cooler if mine actually had a scope. Thanks, e-bay people...

Anyway, I only just heard about this game yesterday @.@ It sounds interesting enough, I think I might like to play it eventually. I was really fond of Mario Tennis, until Mo>ie Gallery stopped carrying it (4 years isn't old!!); I should probably buy a copy of that someday...

I've seen it in shots too. Made me sick.
Mario Tennis = Great
Mario Golf = Okay I suppose
Mario Pinball = Can just about understand
But BASEBALL!? You can put millions of wacky features into Tennis, but not baseball, surely? There's no actual control in baseball games either.
And it'll never sell over here in the UK. No one cares. Not even Mario fans will buy it methinks.
