During a Q&A session, Kush Games' Ben Brinkman explained that Wii
should see a game in Take2 Interactive's Major League Baseball series
starting next year.
"We don't have MLB 2K7 on Wii this year,"
Brinkman noted when asked if a version of this year's MLB would appear
on Wii. "We want to spend some time to really utilize the controls and
this year wasn't going to provide us that time. Look for MLB 2K8 on
Wii."
MLB 2K7 - developed collaboratively between Kush Games and
2KSports, the latter a studio owned by Take2 - is slated for a March
2007 release on PS2, PS3, PSP, Xbox and Xbox 360.
In October
2006, 2KSports announced The Bigs, an original baseball sim planned to
release on Wii during Summer 2007. To differentiate it from the MLB
series, The Bigs will feature "outrageous visuals," with
larger-than-life player models and ballparks, as well as power-ups that
spark special effects. Additionally, the title is expected to feature
online play for up to four players. Blue Castle Games is developing The
Bigs in tandem with 2KSports.
