The Bigs - Wii
 
Have'nt seen any reviews, but I'm desperate for a new Wii game. Anyone in?

I dont have wii, neither do i have xbox, but is the bigs already out?

If so, it looks like a super MLB slugfest game.

Judging by the ads, it's coming out this week.

IGN gave it a decent review:
http://wii.ign.com/articles/799/799318p1.html


The Bigs isn’t a bad experience on Wii. In fact, it’s exactly as we’ve rated it: “Decent.” There are a few serious issues within the design, such as a laggy swing recognition and some wonky, forced fielding motion controls, but it’s still a respectable MLB experience for Wii gamers, and a solid first effort from 2K Sports on Nintendo’s new system. There’s definitely enough of a true MLB feel in the game to attract baseball fans, and as being part of that target audience a few of us in IGN LA have had fun ripping through games and powering up players. The fact still remains, however, that The Bigs has issues, and while those issues can certainly be overlooked by sports junkies or arcade addict MLB fans, they’re still there. The Bigs is generally a fun experience, but is extremely shallow. Add in the lack of online (something available in the other versions of the games) and you’ll really start to feel just how short-lived the “lasting appeal” turns out to be. The game can be fun, but the entertainment value may wear off by this year’s All Star Game, and that’s not a ton of bang for your buck. Whether you’re a sports nut or not, we suggest a rental before purchase, as The Bigs is very hit and miss.
7/10

Sounds like something I'll pick up around $20.

Did anyone pick this up? I've been thinking about it too, but if there is going to be a better baseball game down the road I'd rather wait for that.

I'm waiting for the next Mario Baseball instead

I think you may be onto something there. BIG Beerkeg Softball. The more drunk your players get, the harder it is to hit, field, throw, etc. Upgradeable traits like alcohol tolerance would be crucial to success.

Ah, the funniest sight in sports: the frantic windup of a softball pitcher. Imagine dislocating your shoulder imitating that on Wii.
