Tecmo Super Baseball

This is a pioneering graphical approach to a baseball video game that easily matches or surpasses anything that other companies have put on the field.

Another pleasing aspect is statistical tracking for an entire season. This is a feature that should be in all baseball games, but is surprisingly absent in the majority of Super Nintendo titles. All in all, Tecmo Super Baseball is head and shoulders above any other baseball offering at the time of its release. If you've been waiting for a game with real players, stats and a realistic spin on the sport, it's time to step up to the plate!

The controls take time to master because of how the field is show from the fielder's perspective, which is a neat new feature that will influence other companies. Tecmo Super Baseball is the best to date!

It's not a grand-slam homer, but Tecmo Super Baseball is certainly a ringing double into the gap, especially if you liked Tecmo Super Bowl. It's a nice way to spend the long off-season.

The computer opponent is dumb, walking pitchers and trying to stretch every hit into a double. The players look realistic in general, but the pitcher looks too big on the mound. Finally, although the umpire's voice is clear enough, I've never heard an umpire yell "Strike three - you stink!" like he does in this game. Tecmo Super Baseball had potential, but it only amounts to a long foul ball.
