- Batting – The Wii controls sense swinging angle, timing, and pre-swing motion, allowing gamers to aim their hits anywhere in the outfield, display their own unique pre-at-bat “waggles,” and unleash power or contact swings, all based on the motion of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
- Pitching – With Wii pitching gamers can throw distinct types of pitches using a different motion. Pitch type and speed are determined by a combination of arm speed, wrist movement, and button selection.
- Fielding – Both fielding and throwing are controlled through directional motions of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk which allow you to make spectacular plays on the field including jumping catches, wall climbs, and double plays.
- Base Running – Sprint fast and slide into bases with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. A “drumming” motion with the controls allows you to control running speed while pointing the controls down allows you to hit the dirt and slide into base.
“We are very excited to bring our first 2K Sports title to the Wii,” said Greg Thomas, President of Visual Concepts, a 2K Sports studio. “With The BIGS we really focused on ways to maximize the Wii’s very unique controls by applying them to all the significant actions in baseball. We’re always looking to deliver unique gaming experiences and the fun gameplay of The BIGS on the Wii demonstrates our commitment to innovation in sports video games.”
If all goes well, The Bigs will be a big hit (no pun intended) across all baseball loving countries, which includes America and Japan - the Nintendo Wiis largest markets. Score!
The BIGS is due out later this year. Screen shots are of the Xbox 360 / Playstation 3 versions.
