About this product

Product Information

R.B.I. Baseball from Tengen is a classic game. Also known as Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium, the U.S. version retains all the same gameplay features as the Japanese version. However, this baseball game for Nintendo did something no other game had managed to do at the time. R.B.I. Baseball was the first console game to include a license from the Major League Baseball Players Association. This license means that the Nintendo game can use actual player names instead of pseudonyms. With a release date of 1989, you can enjoy a burst of nostalgia looking through the roster. This NES title features MLB All-Stars like Jose Canseco, Roger Clemens, Nolan Ryan, and Mark McGwire.Each of these athletes has their own unique statistics based on their real performances during 1988 and 1989. For example, Nolan Ryan will pitch faster than any other pitcher in the title. When you need someone to get a home run, put Mark McGwire up to bat. Players are rated on their hitting speed, pitching speed, and running speed. R.B.I. Baseball for the NES is also one of the first titles on the console to add realism elements to the game. For example, your pitchers get tired the more innings they play. Use a pitcher too long, and he'll start to throw slower and give the other team some free hits. You can also control the ball during a pitch and create your own curveballs. R.B.I. Baseball for Nintendo doesn't have the Major League Baseball license, so Tengen created their own teams for the game. However, these teams are located in the same cities as the real clubs. The in-game clubs also use the colors associated with the real teams. There are eight franchises you can choose to represent in this Nintendo video game. These franchises reside in Boston, Detroit, California, Houston, New York, Minnesota, St. Louis, and San Francisco. There are also two additional All-Star groups, the American League and National League. These two groups are full of notable professional athletes, including several who don't appear anywhere else in the title. After you finish a ballgame, this title displays a list of in-depth baseball stats for each player.This Nintendo title features some colorful and vibrant graphics. Each character has a large sprite that is packed full of detail. The extra information on the screen, such as the speed of the pitch, is neatly tucked away into the corners. You won't need to worry about this information obstructing your view on either offense or defense. The sound in this Nintendo title is lifelike and will have you feeling like you're at the stadium. When you're done winning against the computer, you can play against your friends in the multiplayer mode. The multiplayer mode on the NES supports up to two players simultaneously.R.B.I. Baseball is the first title in a classic series that would spawn over 10 different sequels. This NES title revolutionized sports games and became an instant hit among baseball fans.

Dun dun da dun....suprisingly addictive
Surprisingly addictive. The game plays exactly the way you would expect a NES baseball game to play. The controls are very solid and straight-forward; B to advance the runners, A to swing, A to throw, B to run to the base on on defense, and the D-pad takes you where you want to go. Simple right? Well, not actually. There are not many faults in the gameplay, but some were made too noticeable. For one, the players on defense move WAY to slow. It seems like it takes you forever to run to the ball. Also, the umpires will make some horrible calls. It seems like they can't tell if a ball is fair of foul, often taking a sure triple away. You get to choose between 10 teams making up the Tengen league. They are; California, Boston, Detroit, Houston, New York, St. Louis, San Francisco, the AL ... Surprisingly addictive.

It seems like it takes you forever to run to the ball. Also, the umpires will make some horrible calls. It seems like they can't tell if a ball is fair of foul, often taking a sure triple away. You get to choose between 10 teams making up the Tengen league. They are; California, Boston, Detroit, Houston, New York, St. Louis, San Francisco, the AL All-Stars, and the NL All-Stars, which means you won't play the same team all the time. The game will start off hard, but as you learn the controls, it gets to be very easy. The fun factor is through-the-roof if you play with a friend. Its very entertaining watching little midgets running after balls, and swinging like a 2 year old. Overall, you won't be let down with the gameplay. Story Baseball games don't have stories. It's just like you see on TV. Play a nine inning game of baseball, and score more runs than your opponent. That's it. Sound Well, I can't completely put down the sound department. There is no menu music. There's basically only three other songs that play. A very aggravating tune the plays when a man's on base that repeats itself about every five seconds is the only complaint that I have. It gets very annoying. Other than that, there's that ''ping'' sound when you hit a ball and if a homerun is hit(which happens way too often) there is a somewhat cheesy fireworks show with sounds that seems to get mixed into each other. The tune that plays between innings gets you ready for the next one in a positive way, and the before game music is, well, OK. It's just your basic NES sounds... Graphics Seems like Tengen could have done a little better job here. The batters are very plain, and behind the fence there is a big blue wall, which I guess is supposed to be sky. The scoreboard is very basic. You can see the ball spinning in the air, which is a nice touch. When a man slides, you can actually tell he's sliding. There is no difference between the players at all, which makes them look like clones. The graphics are the only bad part about this game. Replay Value After you play all the CPU teams, it will get a little boring, but with a friend this game rocks. To be able to play with the All-Stars teams gives this game a little more depth, and it never seems to get old. All in all, this game is worth playing again and again. Buy or Rent If you don't have it, get it. It's a nice addition to any NES collection, and can be bought dirt cheap. If you like baseball, and want to play with some of the retired greats, this game is for you. Why not give it a try?

Simplicity means greatness
I have played this game since its debut way back in the 80s. It's so simple to play, yet its so much fun. I would recommend getting a copy that has the book with it, so you know player ability (hitting, speed, etc). Nonetheless, this is a great game for hours of entertainment. I love being able to hit balls completely out of the stadium with greats like Reggie Jackson and George Brett, pitching crazy curve balls with Doc Gooden, or stealing 5 bases with Lenny Dykstra! This game is true nostalgia! If you don't have this game, add it to your collection.I have played this game since its debut way back in the 80s. It's so simple to play, yet its so much fun.
