DID YOU KNOW? MARIO SUPERSTAR BASEBALL PROMISES POST-SEASON FUN ANY TIME OF THE YEAR
Sept. 30, 2005
With the playoffs and series just around the corner, baseball fans will be heading into a long, dry season. But, fear not, Kansas City and Colorado fans – while not reaching a playoff berth may be a disappointment, true diamond diehards don't give up so easily. Harness the exhilaration of the national pastime and bring a baseball game directly into the living room any time of the year, complete with a Nintendo twist. Continuing in the wacky form of other Nintendo sports titles, Mario Superstar Baseball™ for the Nintendo GameCube™ is a hilarious game that cleverly fuses the tradition of baseball with favorite characters from the Nintendo universe.
Matt Casamassina, editor for IGN.com, said, "If you're looking for an arcade-like baseball experience overrun with Nintendo style, you've come to the right game. The clean, often humorously animated character models that grace the field will please Nintendo fans."
Time the pitch perfectly and watch Donkey Kong® knock one out of the stadium with just his boxing glove, instead of that boring bat that the pros swing around. Watch Diddy Kong® throw the almost unhittable, curving banana ball. But watch out for those spinning tornados as they launch a routine fly ball into the cheap seats. Toy Field matches can even unlock new characters, features and stadiums. If only every ball player could walk onto this field of dreams that exists exclusively in the world of Nintendo.
Mario Superstar Baseball is the latest in a succession of Nintendo sports titles that includes Mario Golfâ„¢: Toadstool Tour, Mario Kart®: Double Dash!!â„¢ and Mario Tennisâ„¢ Advance. It brings with it more than 20 beloved characters from the Mario universe, including Peach, Daisy, Yoshiâ„¢, Birdo, Bowser and Warioâ„¢. Nintendo pays no heed to a team's regular-season shortcomings and carries the excitement and steeped tradition of baseball into October and beyond with a game for everyone.
