I have a lot of nostalgia for GameCube era Mario sports games. Coming back to this was honestly more fun than I thought it would be and the game has a surprising bit of depth that I really wouldn't expect of the genre.
goated game, amazing story mode thats challenging and its just overall very fun
Ok so here's the thing. I wanted to try this game and give it a fair chance, but between the input lag on my controller for the emulator I was using, the pretty hard to get used to controls and mechanics, and my heavy childhood nostalgia for the Wii game, I just couldn't get into this one and make any meaningful progress. I won't be rating it since I didn't really complete it like I did the other games and I'll put it in the dead middle of the ranking of the Mario Sports/Kart series list when that comes out. Sorry Mario Superstars Baseball, it's not you it's me.
The only way you're getting me to play a sports game is if an enthusiastic voice says "Nice On!" or if it's got Mario in the title, and THIS, this is peak Mario sports gaming. My brother and I spent countless hours as kids playing this game. Beating "campaign" mode again and again, versing against one another, and teaming up to take on NPC teams.
Mario Sports will never peak like this ever again
SUPER SLUGGERS THOUGH
