Nintendo of America has revealed plans for "Mario Super Sluggers" for Wii.

"Mario is truly a one-of-a-kind character; clearly fans can't get enough of him and his friends", said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing.

"We're giving Wii users brilliant new ways to enjoy him while expanding our series of active-play games."

In "the same spirit" as other sports-themed Mario games on Wii, Nintendo says Super Sluggers blends richly interactive baseball action with eccentric characters and elements from across the popular Mario universe.

Players will be able to swing the wireless Wiimote like a real bat, as in the popular Wii Sports. In the States the game will be released later this year, no news on a launch elsewhere yet.
