Video Game Question

by justjc on Mar 19, 2010 11:55 AM CDT

For those who play, is there any particular Wii baseball game worth having over the others? Just got the system for my son's birthday and I'm looking for something easy to understand and play (he's five) but cool enough that it will build his baseball interest. (I'm losing him to NASCAR ever since we were exiled South of the Mason Dixon.) I can't let that happen, but I'm up against an army of preschoolers who can cite every driver's name.

the home run derby on the wii sports disc that comes with it is pretty fun.

i dont have a baseball game for the wii, but that little mini-game is a nice start.

Mario Super Sluggers

I have a much younger cousin who had this game, it’s cartoonish, but it’s actually a lot of fun, the adults ended up playing it for quite a while, so you won’t be too bored yourself.

You can play as a lot of the characters from the mario games.. like Yoshi or Bowser, and possibly other games. I think Donkey Kong was a character.

Simple controls, and it doesn’t require a lot of time either (you can basically just play right away without having to make a lot of pre-game decisions) or thought put into it (like pitching changes or whatever you might need in an MLB game). I’m not sure how complicated a game a 5 year old can play, as I don’t have kids, but this is about as simple as it can get other then the baseball game that comes w/ wii sports but that’s not really a full game.

Was nominated for a Kid’s choice award if that means anything. Also it’s a couple years old so it should be pretty cheap, which is always nice.

You have a hard task in front of you, but you must save your son.
