El Segundo, Calif. - March 9, 2010 - Konami
Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced the development of The
Cages Pro-Style Batting Practice for Wii™. A baseball batting
simulator, filled with unique mini-games focusing on hitting, gets
players off the pine and active in this innovative sports game.
What awaits players is a series of fun and interactive mini-games
that test players' hand/eye coordination by challenging a virtual
pitching machine that spits out 19 different pitches, varying in
speed and difficulty.
Players take on this true to life baseball hitting game by
actively swinging at pitches with their Wii Remote™ from a
pitching machine that spits out various pitches such as sliders,
12-6 curves and fast balls, all simulated from real life pitchers.
The Cages Pro-Style Batting Practice is also compatible with Wii
Motion Plus™ giving players an even more realistic
experience! Customize your experience by editing your batters and
pitchers to give them real-world physics including left vs. right
hand, stance, height, weight and more. A natural learning curve
allows players to develop their skills and take on up to four other
players for an in-game homerun challenge! Behind all of this fun is
a fitness element that tracks your cardiovascular progress by
reporting on calories burned while players are obtaining their
hitting goals. In addition, the use of the Wii's motion controller
helps players develop their hand/eye coordination skills.
The Cages Pro-Style Batting Practice will be available on Wii in
the first quarter of 2010. For more information, please visit
