Fresh Mario Super Sluggers scans step up to the plate
Courtesy of CoroCoro Comics, we've got some more to gawk at concerning the once-named Super Mario Stadium. Now it's being call Mario Super Sluggers, which is an improvement in our eyes, and is to feature, as you'd expect, a plethora of characters from Nintendo's famous franchises. We're glad to see Mario is heading back to the diamond again!The scans show off some interesting aspects of the game, including what looks like a kind of special catch system when playing in the outfield, which lets you rob players of home runs. Also, the player-specific abilities seem to be returning, as well as the themed stadiums in which you'll play ball. In the scan, you can see what appears to be Luigi throwing a kind of tornado pitch. Interesting, to say the least.

My guess is that this is the big E3 announcement reggie was talking about. All franchise characters in an easy to play game for the entire family. Let down? yep thats me.

I really dont think this is the big announcement since this was announced awhile back. This isnt a big enough game to fit the whole big announcement. Id wager that Animal Crossing, Zelda game and some sorta announcement about the storage will show u at E3. Plus theres also been all the rumors of Kid Icarus.
