Interesting...

Huh... Nintendo hasn't done a baseball game in some time (Ken Griffey for N64, right?). Hopefully this can be good... better than those were (I know they got decent reviews, but I didn't like the GB one much and the N64 one was only okay really). Yeah, I know this is a different developer and everything so it'll be totally different, but as the last Nintendo-published baseball game I can't help but make a comparison...

I don't see why.
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - OB1 - 27th January 2005
Well this came out of nowhere. It's announced just two months before it's supposed to come out? Can't be good...
I'll just wait for Mario Baseball.

This team made World Series 2K3, supposedly, so it certainly could be good...

I'd like to see how the game looks, but so far no pics have been released.

I'm very wary about a Nintendo Baseball game.
*remembers Griffey's Slugfest on SNES, where the computer scores 58 runs in the ninth inning every single game*

It's called DIFFICULTY.
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - A Black Falcon - 27th January 2005
Yeah, the Griffey game I got for GB was annoyingly hard... I also disliked how small a part of the field you could see at a time, which made catching balls in the outfield really hard, and how there's no save option between innings, only after games, so you had to play whole games...
I didn't play it long before deciding that it wasn't nearly as good as good old Hardball III for PC. :)

So Nintendo is making this eh? Does it cover Japanese baseball or American?
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - Great Rumbler - 27th January 2005
The clarify things, Nintendo is PUBLISHING it and a company called Exile Interactive [World Series Baseball 2K3] is actually making it. And, no, it's only American baseball.

I wish someone would make that Bo Jackson game I dreamed up.

I guess it's up to you!
:shiggy2:
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - Great Rumbler - 28th January 2005
I wish someone would make the Bo Jackson game that I dreamed up. Where you have to play baseball against Jupiter and all that cool stuff.
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - OB1 - 28th January 2005
Yeah but that was more of a continuation of my idea.
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - Great Rumbler - 28th January 2005
Only BETTER.

And save puppies from burning buildings... with BASEBALL power!

Until you blow out your leg and never run again. HA! Take that Raider-boy.

... what? Was that some reference to Bo Jackson? Because I don't know anything about him other than the fact that he played both pro football and pro baseball, and that he's awesome for some non-reason that I decided on.
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - Great Rumbler - 28th January 2005
I remember that he also played against the entire continent of Asia in a game of rugby and WON. That's how awesome Bo Jackson is. And he once bench-pressed the Empire State Building.

You're amazing, OB1...

He brushes his teeth with pine trees!
He puts out fires with his super-breath!
He performed quadruple bypass surgery with two toothpicks, needlenose pliers and a broken beer bottle!
He slices, he dices, he makes some mean Julienne Fries!
He's fantastic, marvelous, tremendously titanic!
His skin is the color of pure jet black..son!
He's everyone's favorite action hero.... BO JACKSON
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - OB1 - 29th January 2005
WOO!!

Bo Jackson is so awesome that he's like two ninjas taped together.
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - EdenMaster - 29th January 2005
Now in your game, GR, is Jupiter the baseball or what?
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - Great Rumbler - 29th January 2005
No, see, he plays baseball AGAINST Jupiter. Jupiter uses it's mighty storms to hurl the ball with amazing speed and Bo Jackson's all "Nuh-uh, Jupiter! I'm gonna kick your...gaseous atmosphere? Something." and then he hits the ball into space where he then has to go and kickbox with Saturn's moons and Titan swings around at him and he kicks it and it flies into Jupiter, which explodes and destroys Saturn and then Bo Jackson is named King of All Universe.
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - EdenMaster - 29th January 2005
That's awesome! But it needs something more...what if PLUTO was the ball that Jupiter threw at Bo??
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - Great Rumbler - 22nd February 2005
That would of course be the coolest thing ever, and yes that's what happens. *steals idea*
Well this game is coming out in less than a month and half and we haven't heard anything more about it, that doesn't really sound like a good thing.
Nintendo + Baseball = Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball - A Black Falcon - 22nd February 2005
Who knows, given Nintendo's allergies to the press...
