Awesome. These games are better than MLB: The Show, IMO. The core gameplay is just super fast and fun and surprisingly deep despite the art style.

As a giant baseball fan, however, the MLB Legends don't do anything for me. It just feels weird and out of place. I love the fake teams and silly players that SMB has come up with.

Oh MAN! I loved SMB2 & 3, can't believe it's been 3 years since the last entry came out. I don't care about the pro players, and the price feels too high, but I can't wait to get more details on what other changes they've added.

Would love to see franchise mode continue to get more and more interesting...

I'm way into the idea of a legends roster. I always loved playing NFL Street 2 and doing a playground pick-em of all the legends and all the players on the roster. This should be fun!

I’m sort of amazed that I haven’t tried one of these out yet, everyone who plays seems to adore ‘em. Looking for something to play on Switch over the summer so the timing is definitely right! How was 3 on Switch? Run OK?

I’m super (mega) pumped! I’ve gotten 2 and 3 on both PC and switch. Steeper price point this time around which is unfortunate, but the drafting option and chemistry/ traits are exciting additions. The 3rd game had a lot of content added over time so I’m curious if that’ll stay true after the EA acquisition. Not expecting anything after the last stadium is added but here’s to hoping

I got SMB3 (hey that acronym is taken isn’t it) earlier this year and really dig the game. It’s pretty straightforward, but in a good way. I love the legends idea and hopefully we get a good mix of players. I’m pulling for Ichiro.

I do hope they expand franchise a bit more. I’d like to see drafts and trades at a minimum.

One of the new stadiums in the game! Clearly Montreal-based.


The deep dive this week is going to be on presentation.
