This would get me to play a basenall game...maybe idk.Ignorance is bliss

Good post. I might even play baseball. Maybe we will be on the same team! lol
Sounds alright. Just when I was beginning to think that 2K games hated Nintendo.
Not a fan of any sport games, but good for Nintendo, any support is good support.
Do they have access to the rosters or did someone go exclusive like EA and Madden, cause I hope this doesn't wind up like Blitz: The League.
Wow. This may be the first baseball game I've played since Mario Superstar Baseball! I haven't played that game in a while, but I believe that I ave it her ein my dorm. I'll check...

*goes to check*

Nope; I have Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Party 7, and even DDR: Mario Mix, but no baseball.
LAUGH OUT LOUD
First ImageCool
Wow that image is ugly. :\ Atleast the motion blur.
I don't lable myself as a sports game fanatic but there are some kick ass sports games out there. Tiger Woods, Fight Night, NBA Street and my all time fav Hangtime on the N64.
Someone besides me actually remembers Hangtime. I hope that eventually finds its way on to the Wii virtual console.
I used to be a sports fanatic but it's really not worth $50/$60. It's fun for a bit but it gets boring. I still play Madden but thats only with friends. Owner and Superstar mode gets old real fast
My favorite sports game ever has to be NBA Jam for the SNES. Ownage.

That game was the bomb. I liked to play on Juice Mode. You remember that, pressing the B button about 16+ times when the matchup screen came on.

Actually, my favorite sports game is a tie between Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey and NFL Blitz, both on the N64.

I remember that one. You were pretty much unstoppable afterwards.

I actually liked the arcade version of NFL Blitz 2000, where the commentator cusses. XD

The online part may no longer be true because according to the Wii game release list this game is coming out before PBR.







You gotta love playing baseball in Times Square
