"It is what it is." This annoying phrase has been gaining much use and popularity lately, primarily due to overly dramatic reality TV shows or the Jimmy Fallon spoofs of said shows. The point is, “it is what it is” is annoying to hear and usually means absolutely nothing. But in the case of Baseball Blast for the Wii, it’s the perfect way to describe the game. Baseball Blast! is another Wii minigame collection that targets younger gamers. It is good at what it does, but all that means is that it is a rather run-of-the-mill mini-game collection on the Wii. It is what it is; nothing more and nothing less.
Basically, Baseball Blast! is a collection of 20 baseball themed minigames that use the Wii’s motion controls in various ways. Keep in mind that I said baseball THEMED minigames; there is never any actual baseball played in this game. Baseball Blast! in not a baseball game. Most minigames amount to a few simple movements and button presses to complete short challenges. There’s the obligatory lightgun type game, races, and a few things that use the Wiimote swinging mechanic from Wii Sports baseball to hit pitched balls to hit targets. There are also a few that mimic the pitching from the Wii Sports baseball game as well but you never go head to head with a real pitcher. Aside form that, there is really no baseball in Baseball Blast! It is what it is and what it is is a minigame collection, not a baseball game.
