Hmm, now that it's september, I might just have to wait 2 weeks after release and ask for it as my birthday present. Still, I would proably just prefer it come out earlier but at least we're getting a new one.

Let us hope that gamespot is totally wrong on that date.

According to IGN, http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/rmbj/howto/index.html Mario super Sluggers is coming out on august 25th. No MLB license, but might have decent gameplay.

First time poster here, but I want to mention that 2K Sports has the official MLB Power Pros 2008 page up (found it while I was browsing through the site). Well... actually just a placeholder page, but it looks like the July 29th date will remain at least for now.

Eh, it ain't about what they've done lately, it's about what they did in 2007. That's the way covers have always been picked for sports games. No one in their right mind would put Chase Utley or Edison Volquez on the cover of their current 2008 game over Becket or Pujols.

I'm glad it's based on what the players did last year, this year my Jays offense stinks!! At least last year I will have a better hitting 2B and Rios hitting HR's.

When this game comes out it's going to be a belated Father's Day gift.....if they put it off till Nov we could make it birthday present!

Real-time bullpen check functionality for substituting pitchers! :D

With all the detail in this game, I'm actually surprised they didn't think of this before the release of 07'.

I think the September date might mean that the game will not be available at Gamestop until that time, which would suck for me considering I have the money on my Gamestop gamecard! I really hope that's not the case and that they just have the wrong date.

I guess that means we will have to start warming up our Subs. I hope they rework the baserunning.

Base runnings not too bad if you use the advanced mode. Anyway, to get a good lead just press the up butten twice and to get a jump running back press the right (right or left, I don't remember off hand) button twice. Pressing Z and B alternatively make the runner go faster. They had all the detail before on the original games (Japanese), but they wanted to see how the first game went before they added all the nice extra-features and modes to the American version.

That would be awesome if you could press some button to make your catcher go out and talk to the pitcher, to give your relief pitcher extra time to warm up in the bullpen. Or if their was some sort of ability that made catchers more likely to do that.

I was in the local game stop last night and put a reservation on the game. The release date was listed as 9/1 as of the 17th this month. I had the clerk print me up a new sheet with the upcoming Wii releases, and the one he printed as of last night had the release date moved up to 7/28.
