Considering how bad last year's baseball games are, this becomes my most anticipated baseball game by default.
And dear god, I will now be crushed if there is no Koopa Kids team.

Reggie said something to the effect of "more Nintendo games". Just about the whole 2005 line up-is Nintendo games...
Donky Konga 2 & 3
Jungle Beat
Fire Emblem
Geist
Mario Baseball
Zelda
Kirby
To me, if 3RD parties aren't going to support Nintendo, then this is what Nintendo needs to do...they can't just leave 2005 completly dry. And they need to do the same next generation, the time where Nintendo tries to rely on "support" is over...they have to support themselves and not expect much from 3RD parties just in case. Going back to the N64 model they'll become more profitable and self reliant...and they've introduced new franchises this generation and expanded a lil', but next generation they need to do more of that, not rely on so-called "exclussives" from outside companies and work on more collaborations. What they just let loose tonight (Mario Baseball, Kirby & DK3) seems to be easy milkjobs...but easy is a good way to go to finnish a generation so that they can concentrate more on next (and Zelda, of course) and by the time some of these games come out I see Nintendo pushing GAMECUBE as a budget system and these games sorta compliment that.

Hot shit! Yes yes yes! It's about time America got another Japanese-made baseball game. I've been so sad because Namco never brings Famista 64 over here. Japan makes the best baseball games. PERIOD. NAMCO better be making this. I would cream my pants!
Any players of Famista 64 know what I mean. That snowball multiplayer game kicked ass! ALL the minigames did! And that stupid quest mode, too! Hooray for Japan!

Well, the way I see it, I can see 3 teams.
Team Mario, Team Bowser and Team DK. Unfortunately I see DK in the pic, but I hope there's more than 1 team arrangement with multiple char picking. What's the bare minimum for baseball? 8?
Edit:
We call that Nester's Funky Bowling. It was good.

So they started making Nintendo 64 games again?
Have you actually seen N64 games? People troll so poorly here.
I can definitely see Mario Soccer and Mario Skateboarding or something like that. It's a bit ridiculous, but people eat it up and the games are usually fun. Of course, if they were online it would be a different case.

Mario Baseball was bound to happen, since Nintendo owns a baseball team.
Oh, and snapty, die!

Yes, we remember how Nintendo farmed out some of its most important franchises in the 1990s. I, for one, had hoped that Nintendo had since learned to treat such franchises with more care and dignity. Although some degree of expoitation is to be expected, at some point it's fair for us to declare, "too far."

Sega's applauding this move:
"Simply Brilliant. It amazes me that Nintendo thought of this before us."
Third parties are hysterical.
"One of usss.... One of usssss... One of ussssss....."

Looks fun, but I'd rather have Mario Basketball and especially Mario Soccer before this. Make it happen Nintendo!
The Mario Bros. are Nintendo's answer to the Baldwin brothers. Lately they've been appearing in something every time you turn around, to the point where it's getting sickening. Even if the gameplay in half these games is terrific, the fact that I'm golfing/karting/whatever with the same damn Mario characters AGAIN is enough to make me want to avoid them. Since I suspect that's not what Nintendo's out to accomplish, I seriously hope they try either creating some new franchises or pushing some of their existing ones more heavily, in place of all the 'Mario, Mario, Mario' we're getting nowadays. =/

It's frustrating to see Nintendo like this: the company can make solid titles that sell well based on their own merit. It doesn't need to whore a franchise. When a franchise like this gets whored, and Mario is everywhere, all of a sudden a new Mario game isn't a big deal, because there are ten other games with Mario on their covers.
