Great Preview Video of Mario Super Sluggers
Kotaku has what looks to be a great preview video of Mario Super Sluggers, seemingly ripped from the Japanese Nintendo Channel. The video is quite long and does a great job of showcasing the game's control set. While the controls look relatively limited (especially the pitching), haven't we all wished for a few bombs to throw on those unfortunate pop-ups?
Sounds like you might like driving with the Wii wheel.
(I mean, analog stick users will still drive circles around you, but at least you'll feel genuinely immersed in your defeat.)
everyone bought a wii and thought it was going to be amazing because wii sports gave the impression that such a 1:1 ratio was possible, but if you really examine how wii sports interprets motion controls, it's ultimately just a cheap trick to emulate 1:1 controls, which it only gets away with because the games are so simple.
Wow. I'd hate to be there when someone sits you down and explains the reality of movie CGI, or stuntmen, or how magicians make things "disappear", or any number of other "cheap tricks" that make the world interesting and fun. Sure, I can't play baseball on the Wii with a 1:1 control ratio or whatever. But you know what I can do? GO OUTSIDE AND THROW A BASEBALL. I don't play games on the Wii to emulate real life. I play to have fun. Same story with any console. You want to have lifelike experiences? Enjoy real life. In the meantime, while you're busy complaining, can I have your controller?
P.S. I apologize if you are a plumber in real life and you just discovered that you don't make money by hitting bricks with your head.
