Mario Neo Sluggers

Mario Neo Sluggers is an arcade-esque Baseball game and the third entry in the Mario Baseball series. It will be released on March 24, 2024, in Japan, April 17, 2024, in North America, and April 4, 2024, in Europe. It includes Mario characters and Mario-y twists on the sport. 
== Gameplay ==
In Mario Neo Sluggers, you organize a team of 9 players, and compete in a baseball game against 9 other players, either controlled by a CPU or another player. The games are divided up in innings, composed of two sections each. One section, you are defense and trying to prevent the opposing team from scoring. This is accomplished via pitching and fielding. The other half of the inning, you are playing offense you want to hit a run, or on some occasions home runs. You complete a run via circling around three bases, and then back home. A game can be played for up to 9 innings. You can also play on a variety of fields with gimmicks and twists unconventional for real-life baseball. On top of that, the sport is also bended with more Mario-y mechanics, such as star swings and pitches, items, and the chemistry system. 
== Playable Characters ==
Mario Neo Sluggers feature an onslaught of characters, returning and new. Every character that was in the previous game, Mario Super Sluggers, returns in Mario Neo Sluggers. It ditches the conventional captain system so a team can be any combination of characters, but they are still divided up into designated teams for the game's adventure mode.
