This time it’s nothing but baseball. So I’m going to just come out and do this right after the last one and finally finish up this shit for at least a little while. Thankfully after the Bs there’s like four Baseball games and that’s good enough for me. Plus it will take quite some time to get there. Woo. Time to get this shit done.
I was nice enough to despite not being able to even get anywhere in a Baseball game for the NES, put Base Wars as the okay game. The game I want to at least play again. That game I want to be able to end up enjoying some day some how. That game I want to get good at. This game Baseball Simulator 1,000. I couldn’t give a shit about. I actually enjoy some Culture Brain games. Or maybe that was Electro Brain. Or maybe both. It’s weird that two companies decided BRAIN needs to be in our name. Anyway it’s a baseball game that I always end up knocking fly balls or giving it to the computer and it has no robots. So in other words this game can piss off.
This game has oodles of charm and I actually can get at least a hit or two in the game! Which is insane for me when it comes to a baseball game. Literally insane. I’ve never played baseball in real life, or watched it on the tv, or even know the complete set of rules. I just remembered I have Dusty Diamond Softball and Softball is like the same damn thing and I will not hear any arguments on this. I mean port will probably pull of the list of differnces and make an argument but I will not listen. Anyway this game you could actually save and you could literally just play 2 games (or 419410) in your game season. I will rate this one OKAY because I want to like it more than I do.
I remember playing this game once when I finally got it because there was a time when I was collecting NES games and this one was somewhat rare even if it was just Baseball. I didn’t spend almost $30 on a copy like people have to do today if they somehow want all the games. Anyway you know how I said Baseball Stars was a charming game that I want to be able to get good at like Base Wars. Well Baseball Stars 2 removes all of that charm and is pretty much worthless and not worth a shit.
You might be thinking “Claw, you missed 3 games” No, I’m reviewing all four of these games in one post. When I said that I was going to review the original game and others in one paragraph to make it easier but decided against it because it wasn’t fair. THIS is the game series that made me think I should do it. Just this one. The rest of the games that got a trilogy or a series or whatever at least deserve a paragraph to their own. However for these piles of shit I am taking a mulligan. If I were some weirdo on twitch trying to beat every NES game I wouldn’t let people decide because I know what games are going to be last and not ever in the discussion. The Ultima games, the rice sims and Bases Loaded. Bases Loaded is actually the worst series on the NES. At least fucking Ikari Warriors 3 was almost competent. Bases Loaded is the worst Baseball series of games ever and I don’t know how it got to four. I really really really hate the fucking “from the eye of the pitcher view” it throws me off EVEN MORE than any other baseball game on the system. I’m reviewing all four of these games here by saying this statement: I’ve played just about every NES game licensed and unlicensed since getting my own personal computer in 1997 via emulation or physical cartridge. I’ve also played a good amount of Famicom games and I’d say just about every single European/Australasian game too (and hell I’ll review them too after I do the American set, just the stuff America did get though) and I think today, 2023, 38 years old was the first (and probably last) time I ever booted up Bases Loaded 3 or 4. It was to see if they still kept that awful pitcher view shit and they did. Also Bases Loaded 4 goes for $60 and makes me hate Nintendoage, Youtube and everything so much more. If someone said “Hey would you make all collectables worth as much as they were between 1998-2006 by pressing this button” That person better get out of the way because I’m jumping as high as my fat ass can and crushing that fucking button with my humongous ass. The fact that this game goes for that much is insane. This game went for nothing because no one wanted it just for a full set. Fuck people making the rarity of shit the big deal and not the fun of finding a new game. Anyway, don’t bother telling me to review Bases Loaded 2, 3 or 4 in actual paragraphs because I’d rather get to better games (and worse ones that are more interesting to discuss)
Good Games: 24
