This is a pretty darn fun baseball game. The gameplay is great and only Baseball Stars is superior. The theme is a little strange; it must have been marketed for kids originally. The umps are rabbits! Although there aren't any real players or teams there are a lot of features.

The Video Game Critic
Hey, what the hell is Mr. T doing at the end of that line!? Comical animations include players that slam their bats in disgust, or pass out on the field upon being thrown out. The background music is very well composed for the most part, but that irritating whistling part costs the game any chance of an A grade. What really stands out about Bad News Baseball is its excellent playability. The controls are so natural that I never had to consult the manual, and there's just the right number of foul balls. Heck, you can play an entire game in about 15 minutes. It's not the most realistic baseball title for the NES, but Bad News Baseball is hard to beat in terms of pure entertainment value.
