Bad News Baseball

Bad News Baseball

in Japan, is a baseball game for the Nintendo Entertainment System using fantasy teams and a light-hearted attitude. The gameplay is relatively simple and features use of cutscenes during close-call scenarios including slides and outs.

The game lacked a Season Mode comparable to those of most modern baseball games. Instead, in the one-player mode the player's goal was to defeat every other team featured in the game in the order of their choosing. Wins and losses were not recorded, and the player could continue playing indefinitely until all other teams were defeated. While this meant that there was no set schedule of games, pitchers did have a stamina rating that once depleted would take several games worth of rest to recover from. In this way, the game somewhat simulated the idea of a pitching rotation.

Teams

The most obvious effect of localization is the complete changing of teams and players. Since "Bad News Baseball" is not officially licensed by the MLB, only cities (or states) are given as teams, all of which have Major League Baseball teams. The team colors do emulate that of the team's that are unofficially representing, such as the St. Louis team's color being red to match that of the St. Louis Cardinals. The players are stated by first name only and are completely fictitious. Comparatively, the original "Gekitō!! Stadium" had completely made up teams with no relation, official or implied, to Nippon Professional Baseball teams.
