Nike and Honda aren't the only people doing hybrids now. Dave Bondi's AKASHI figure is a great smash-up of two of the worlds most noticeable characters, Mickey and Mario. The physical features of both melt together seamlessly as each lend a hand into creating something new. AKASHI stands a proud 9? tall and is limited to only 200 pieces.
Here's one ballgame fans don't want to see rained out: The action at Seattle's Safeco Field will be wilder than ever on Sept. 5 when video game icon Mario takes over the diamond. Nintendo will place interactive Wii game kiosks throughout the ballpark, inviting attendees to swing the wireless Wii Remote controller like a bat or make a pitching motion to throw a pitch. To heighten the excitement in the stands, nine lucky fans - one randomly selected during each inning - will win a prize package that includes a Wii system and a copy of Mario Super Sluggers.

Gamerdeals.net writes: The highlights this week include Tales of Vesperia (Xbox 360), Mario Super Sluggers (Nintendo Wii), Disgaea 3 Absense of Justice (PS3), and N+ (Nintendo DS, Sony PSP). Check out the full list of new video game releases (USA) for the week of August 17, 2008 on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, Sony PS2, PSP, Nintendo DS, and PC!
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. - Wario Land: Shake It!(Wii) - Kirby Super Star Ultra (DS) - Mario Super Sluggers (Wii) - Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir (DS) See screenshots here!
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.

We were surprised to hear Nintendo announce a brand new game at its spring media summit this morning - we were not surprised that said game was another Mario sports title. Mario Super Sluggers will arrive in Japan in June and elsewhere "later this year," featuring the requisite number of mascot characters and suitably silly gameplay.
