>one of the most mechanically deep sports games of all time>one of the best diverse rosters of all time with unique stats and abilities including hidden ones>really fun progression and campaign with recruiting players, unlocks, and minigames>based on one of the best sports that's still hugely popular in Japan and americaMario Baseball bros, why did Nintendo forget about us...?
>>720464212And there's also a huge community for itOne who made a whole netplay emulator that allows smooth multiplayerand even in live events and tournaments stillWhy won't Nintendo listen to what the people want and give us a new Switch 2 Mario Superstar Baseball?
Feels so bad
>>720464212I wanted to play the GC entry but my console got stolen in a burglary before I could buy it
>>720465120That's what Dolphin is forOr better yet Project Rio
we are forgotten.......
>>720464383I didn't even know this was a thing. I enjoyed both games as a kid
>>720469061It's all streamed online but also really easy to joinNetplay is amazingYou'll probably get your ass handed to you repeatedly though as is the case with most of these things
>>720464212>>based on one of the best sports that's still hugely popular in Japan and americaI think that's also part of the reason. The Wii game never made it to Europe and I don't think Nintendo is interesting in trying to reel them in and making a game just for two regions would be too time-consuming.
But Superstar Baseball or Sluggers?
>>720464212they'd fuck it up with dumb gimmicks anyway just like sluggers. What a waste of a roster. Best to just appreciate what you have
>>720473449Sluggers was so divisive. If only we could get the best of both worlds
>>720473412>>720473543What’s the difference?
>>720473652There's many but for me the biggest most egregious one is items for like almost every AB that just seemed to kill the point>whoops shallow pop fly lol green shell or boo and now I get rewarded with a double
>>720473979>>720473652Any others? I'm curious
>>720464212>Peach has a high pitching stat
>>720477057Unironically one of the best pitchers in the game
>>720464212>diverse rosters>Most Kongs in any Mario game
>>720477506kek
pitch to bowser you cowards!
>>720470327 Lmao sounds about right. You hop in thinking “oh it’s Mario Baseball, how sweaty could it be” and next thing you know you're eating four-star tech throws from a Birdo main like it’s Evo finals. The curve is brutal at first but once you start understanding team chem and dash glides it all clicks. Still, nothing like getting your ass whupped by a Daisy-PD Piranha battery to humble you.
>>720476643Yeah, here’s a few more key differences:- Fielding: Sluggers added motion controls (since it was on the Wii), which felt super janky for a lot of players. GameCube version had tighter, more precise controls.- Chemistry system: Both have it, but Sluggers leaned way harder into it, like literal on-field animations changing based on relationships. It’s cool in theory but kinda overcooked.- Roster: Sluggers blew it up roster-wise, adding a ton of characters (baby characters, minor villains, etc.) but it hurt balance - like some teams were just stacked.- Stadiums: Sluggers introduced day/night cycles and more interactive fields, but again, it’s hit or miss. Some loved it, others thought it was way too chaotic.- Overall vibe: Superstar Baseball has tighter gameplay, less fluff. Sluggers tried to be a party game *and* a sports sim and ended up being kind of mid at both for some people.Both fun, but if you like fundamentals and competitive play, GC wins. Sluggers is more for couch chaos with friends.
