Own it. Love it. DEFINITELY recommend it for $20.
ReplyDeleteYeah, for $20 that wouldn't be bad. I have eyed it on and off for awhile, but it's always been $35ish at Gamestop and Disc Traders. At this price, I might pick it up. We just picked up the mario soccer game for the wii somewhat recently, and my kids seem to be enjoying that one currently
ReplyDelete@KnucklesSonic8:
ReplyDeleteDo you know if your game-play hours with the game would be close to the reported game-play hours, or do you think you have a lot more/less averaged overall?
@Chalgyr:
"We just picked up the mario soccer game for the wii..."
Mario Strikers Charged. I rented it a few years back, and thought it was a lot of fun. It reminded me A LOT of the NHL Hitz games which I really enjoyed last generation, and crazily enough, Mario Strikers Charged's developer also developed one(or two) of the NHL Hitz games.
Thank you both for the comments/feedback! If anybody else has any thoughts(or recommendations) for Mario Super Sluggers, feel free to leave a comment.
I'll check it out for you, CWG. Pretty sure it's around the average, yeah. :)
ReplyDeleteI wish it was available here in Europe or UK, but Big N just didnt publish it here, so blame us on the bad sales :/
