Fun and intense game5
I almost always break a sweat playing this game. It gets pretty intense playing against the CPU or against another player. I love the different characters in the game, as they all have their strengths and weaknesses out on the field or batting.

THE BEST BASEBALL GAME FOR YOUNG KIDS5
MY SON LOVE THIS GAME, ITS VERY FUN AND THE GRAPHICS ARE AMAZING, ONCE YOU COMPLETE ALL THE TASKS, YOU CAN UNLOCK LIKE 40+ CHARACTERS, THE KIDS LOVES WHEN HITTING HOMERUNS, WOULD RECOMMEND 500 %, FOR SURE

Potentially fun, but a frustrating disappointment3
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 doesn't. 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. Don't 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 Bowser's and Bowser Jr's 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.
