Major League Baseball 2K8 Offers New Wii Controls

Baseball fans have been hungering for a follow up to Wii Sports Baseball since the release of the Wii. 2K sports thinks they have the answer with Major League Baseball 2K8. The enhanced Wii motion controls hope to be as intuitive as the launch title, giving players precise control where they need it most.
Some of the new Wii controls include:
- Pitching - Simply point the Wii Remote at the screen, pull back to start the pitcher’s motion, and flick the Wii Remote forward. The faster the player performs the action, the more velocity and movement the pitch will have. With the Nunchuk, players can view and select the pitches they wish to throw.
- Batting - Just as with Wii Sports, get ready to buy a new flat-screen TV every time the kids decided to play the game. Players will swing the Wii Remote just as if they’re swinging a real bat. The Nunchuk can be used to control the direction of the ball.
- Fielding - Players will control designated characters with the Nunchuk and use the Wii Remote to throw balls to the appropriate bases. Use either Major League Baseball 2K8’s “Smart Throw” technology by simply flicking the Wii Remote or manually choose a base with a press of the directional pad.
- Baserunning - Shake the Wii Remote and Nunchuk simultaneously to control the speed of the players and push both controllers at the same time to slide.
With the game set to be released on March 4th, baseball fans don’t have much longer to wait.
