Mario Baseball, Disaster coming this year? (More Famitsu Japanese Wii release dates)

Super Mario Stadium Family Baseball ? June 19 / 5,800 yen (tax included)
Disaster: Day of Crisis ? July 3 / 6,800 yen (tax included)

If these dates are to be believed, it's quite possible that the North American audience will receive these games this year. Usually, games are released in North America a few weeks/months after they are released in Japan. So, it's definitely possible that we'll see these games fairly soon, or perhaps even before they come out in Japan.

Bloody hell. Are there any sports left mario can try? Mario bear baiting....just make some decent new titles nintendo. I think they know they're key to success which is the family/casual market, and therefore they release stuff (and i use the word 'stuff' loosely) like this. Cos this is the sort of thing that seems to sell well on the wii. Nintendo, you sell alot of stuff, but unfortunately its mainly horse trollop.

Disaster is a game I hope is coming out this year. That should be a fun gaming time right there.

It seems that most of the ppl that hate on Nintendo (at least on this site) for not having any new IP yet or for the company's lack of mature-themed games either have no idea that Disaster: DoC exists or choose to write it off as a failure preemptively.

I usually enjoy the mario sport titles, nice way to get people that are not into sports to play a sports game. I was interested in mario baseball, but then I got mlb power pros and that game is everything I could want from a baseball game, but if its got good motion and multiplayer I could see myself getting it down the road.

As for Disaster Im excited to see how it turns out when it arrives seems interesting.

Why Hardcore Baseball Fans Have Unexpectedly Embraced the Wii's Mario Sluggers

The regular season of Major League Baseballis over. Washington took the cup, and the boys of summer are off to hibernate until spring. For the baseball superfan, this means many long months without their sport of choice, so they've turned to the virtual world. And rather than the super-sims or manager games, a Mario spin-off baseball series seems to have captured people's attention.

Mario Superstar Baseball hit the GameCube in 2005, and its sequel Mario Super Sluggers landed on the Wii in 2008. There hasn't been a new baseball spinoff since developer Now Production's closure, unless you count Super Mario Party's baseball toybox, but the decline in Mario sports games hasn't deterred the dejected baseball fans of the r/baseball subreddit from picking the game apart.
