Mario Super Sluggers

Item as described. Well packaged and arrived very timely. Thank you!

My 8 year old son loves this game. I bought it used because I couldnt find it new where it didnt cost an arm and a leg. Whats up with that? I dont quite understand why its hard to find, but it worked out for us anyway. I buy a lot of used games and havent had any issues. Fun game for everyone.

As described, fast shipping

Short Conclusion First: Rent it first, see how you like. On to the review, I really liked the Gamecube version. The game had endurance in it, still play it. Super Slugger doesnt. The Wii-ness of the game is simple, but fulfilling enough. Throwing, running, batting are well done. I should say base running takes some time to get used to. Their choice of how to control base runners is logical, however, not necessarily how you will be used to controlling base runners. Also in Toy Field, playing aggressively is a little different as well.. not as logical. You need to press B to hit a person. In other games a simple nunchuck shake would do that. Dont know why they went that route. The big disappointment from a single player perspective is the Challenge portion of the game. The Challenge portion of the game is quite juvenile and lacks any desire to continue on with it, once beaten (and it is real easy to beat). The Challenge seems more interested in training you into how to play the game (they already have well done tutorials) than for you to actually play a game. You only play Bowsers and Bowser Jrs team, instead of a bunch of teams as with the Gamecube game. You run around, do remedial tasks and even a little puzzle solving in order to make your team grow instead of earning players as per the Gamecube version. The Mini-games play well. Some changes from the old Gamecube version mini-games help make this game familiar, but unique. Toy Field is rebuilt and different (would have been nice to have the classic Toy Field as well), but certainly fun. You can play with teams of 2 if you like. The game play in Toy Field is much more straight forward than in the Baseball game itself. Sadly, the big trouble with the game is the multi-player and fielding control. The game becomes very frustrating when it comes to controlling your fielders, both in single and especially in multi-player mode. In single-player, sometimes the wrong player is selected to get an in-field hit. For instance take a hit between 1st and 2nd, the game will have you controlling the 1st baseman, making an out much more difficult than quickly running the 2nd baseman to get the ball and throw. Another situation would be a hit that an in-fielder could dive and grab, but the game has given you control of the outfielder! By the time you know who you have control of, it may be too late to get the out. In multi-player, you can field at the same time, but what team member is being controlled by what player is almost impossible to know from the beginning, making tough fielding plays very difficult. To conclude, the game could have been much better. The single player draw is very limited. The game will only remain fun as a multi-player game. And playing a game between two people, instead of sharing the same team, can be and is fun. The mini-games are fun, as is Toy Field. Ultimately, you may find the fielding too frustrating. As I said earlier, rent this one first and get a good feel for the game. I feel that the Gamecube version, while less Wii-ish, is much more fun and less frustrating to play over the long-term.

Great game for price.

I did not realize this was a used item when I purchased it. It said new. I often order used DVDs and books for my own kids...it works but I was disappointed as this was a Christmas gift and the case and Mario cover was torn and scratched up and had been opened then re-wrapped in non standard plastic it was clear it was pre-owned. :( I could have bought a pre-owned movie for much cheaper than the price I paid for this item.

My kids thought that it wasnt really like baseball and you didnt have enough control over the bat. They played for 5 minutes and were ready to call it quits.

Bought this game after buying one at GameStop that didnt work. It had no scratches and works perfectly

Game came as advertised and my son loves the game and so do I!

Product was listed under the Game Cube console- extremely deceiving! Very disappointed with the purchase and a waste of my time.
