2K Sports just dished out a new trailer for their upcoming game,
MLB Superstars, and it’s pretty much like the other updates we’ve had on the game. Instead of looking at
ridiculous screens, you get to look at
ridiculous screens in motion. This trailer focuses on the ‘Whack a Wall’ minigame.
What do you all think? Still just a bunch of minigames thrown together, or do you see something you like here?
[Via press release]
Get your first glimpse of MLB Superstars originally appeared on Nintendo Wii Fanboy on Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:04:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey is of the mind that 2K's much-hyped game
Bioshock could find itself on the PS3, Wii, PS2 and handhelds sometime in the future. Hickey says this won't happen for quite some time, though, stating that he believes the game could make its way onto these platforms sometime in 2009.
While we've seen Rockstar's own RAGE engine adapted to the Wii in the Nintendo console version of their
Table Tennis game, we wonder if the Unreal Engine III that powers
Bioshock could even be augmented for use on the Wii. We've heard Epic's Mark Rein state that he
doubts the system can handle it on
multiple occasions, so we wonder if 2K could even get it to work with the Wii.

While long-time Nintendo fans might not be all too familiar with the franchise,
Civilization has managed to constantly impress and push the envelope iteration after iteration. And, it should have came as no surprise that once
it was revealed for the Wii, we were immediately smitten (the inclusion of
online play helped). But, this isn't your grandpa's
Civilization title, now is it?
During an interview with CVG,
Firaxis's Tim McCracken points out that this is a totally new Civilization game, built from the ground up for consoles. It should be noted that there is no shortage of nations on the consoles, either, as Time points out players can play as 16 different nations. From "Alexander the Great, to Bismarck, to Cleopatra - you can play as them and against them." Also, the addition of army creation (where the player takes three of same type of units, places them into the same square, giving that particular army three times the power of the single unit alone). Sounds great to us!
That's not to say some of the other aspects of the franchise didn't make their way into Revolution, as players can still win by making it off the planet to Alpha Centauri, as well as through this blogger's preferred method of victory: global domination.
