To celebrate the launch of Mario Super Sluggers, Charles Martinet, the voice actor for Mario, Luigi, Wario, and more will be in attendance at the Nintendo World Store in Manhattan on August 24th, signing autographs and giving out a mysterious special gift from Nintendo to those who purchase the new Mario sports title.
Today Nintendo revealed a few upcoming games to the Wii and DS gaming systems. Wario gets a new game on the Wii, while Kirby returns to the Nintendo DS.
Every of the (so far) 42 characters will have his/her/its own unique batting and pitching powers (super moves). For examples Mario swings away with a fireball, Princess Peach spreads the love, Luigi's swing generates a whirlwind, and Waluigi pitches in an arching rainbow.
