I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

in Cyber Stadium Series—Base Wars for the NES if you have a pitcher who is fast enough and has good control you can bean every single hitter and even though you're down by like 20 runs you chip away at their HP and they start to explode and you win because they run out of guys. it feels incredible

For Random Game Saturday, I have Major Dream Major Wii Perfect Closer. "Huh,a baseball game?" you say. But this is the single worst baseball game ever made. A game so bug riddled that it makes the original Moero Pro Yakyuu look well-polished.

In 1991, the Nikkan Pro Yakyuu VAN could display real-time Japanese baseball results on the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) by connecting to a phone line. It was a bit pricey: 7000 yen for the cartridge, then 180 yen per 3 min. plus whatever your phone time cost.

Certain NPB broadcasts in 1997 began with this "Pawapuro-kun Nighter News Bulletin" segment, with an early 3D version of the character from the Power Pros games. It also includes a chirpy newsified version of the Jurassic Park theme???

Hey, back in the day at GI you might have been one of the few people to see an unreleased baseball game called Nintendo Pennant Chase. It's a random sports game from a long time ago, but any memories? Magazine snippet here:

What better time to write about Sega's influential classic, World Series Baseball, than during the actual World Series? It's not just the gameplay and presentation here that drove the direction of baseball games, but also that it managed to unite both MLB and MLBPA licenses in one game.

Here's a fun one I missed yesterday: During September, MLB The Show 25 surpassed MLB The Show 23 to become the 2nd best-selling game in franchise (and the baseball sim genre) history in the US. It trails (and is unlikely to catch) only MLB The Show 21. Source: Circana Retail Tracking Service

I was going through our digital archive with a friend who's really into MLB Slugfest, and we found this pretty stark design feedback in the Mark Flitman papers, circa 2002. Focus groups were tired of Tim Kitzrow showing up in Midway sports games

I wrote a bit of an expansion on this piece in today's newsletter, with some ideas I had that didn't quite fit what I was doing for Endless Mode, on just what it was that conservative pundits in 1992 feared about the introduction of Japanese money into MLB and America beyond basic xenophobia.

You'll never guess who wrote this one, so I'll just tell you: it was me. Learn about MLB's very 1990's hesitation at allowing Japanese money near America's national pastime, Nintendo's partnership with Ken Griffey Jr., and their long-running relationship and fascination with baseball.
