I love how you can hear Morden's laugh from Metal Slug through the entire game. Nazca Corp. was founded by people from Irem so it makes sense to think they worked on this game prior. Just look at those explosions!
José (Jalepeño) Special: Dynamite Dance Run towards an enemy quickly press left and right and attack also grabbing an enemy and pressing jump+attack will do the same thing Fiya Kick: Hold down attack and release (this works with all characters. Ryno Special: Jump and quickly press up and down and attack. Heli: Hold attack and release. Roger Special: Get close to an enemy and do a 360 with the joystick and attack. Chest Bump: Hold attack and release. Straw Special: Do a 360 with the joystick and attack. Second Special: Hold attack and release
No, no, really, modern gaming audience. Keep telling me how the division is totally creative because RPG stats haven't been used in third person post apocalyptic cover shooting before. I'll just be looking at games like this.
I just realized they are also parodying classic Super Sentai teams. Red is leader, Yellow is a big strong guy, etc. Title follows the same pattern as typical Sentai title (Maskman, Dynaman, Batman). And the final boss is... evil version of Babe Ruth? Genius.
The Nerd: This is a special message about something that just changed my life. A game called Ninja Baseball Batman! That is the best title ever conceived by a human being, or an alien, or whoever or whatever came up with this. Ninja Baseball Batman! Just say it out loud! (The Nerd whispers in on the game title) Feels amazing, doesn't it? Ninja Baseball Batman. Just when you hear those three words, all these images rush into your mind of ninjas and baseball and Batman. It hits your brain so hard. It's like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! All right. Slow down. I'm okay. Let's see the game. (Game footage begins as the Nerd is surprised and he takes off the Nerd's glasses as it surprised once again) The Nerd: Does it live up to the title? It surpasses the title! Even though it doesn't have much to do with ninjas and definitely has nothing to do with Batman, I'm not disappointed. The word Batman simply means a man with a bat. Well, there's more than one so they could have called it Batmen, or they could have just called it Ninja Baseball Players. But no. They knew what they were doing. Calling it Batman was an ingenious marketing ploy. It got me to play and then it hit me in the face with a grand slam atomic bomb blast of video game goodness! It's a beat 'em up game. You just beat the crap out of everything in sight. Evil baseballs, evil baseball gloves, evil baseball bats holding baseball bats, balls that come together and... What the hell? Is that a flying baseball field?! It's a flying baseball field! So yes, this game is definitely baseball related. And if you can call it a baseball game, it's the best baseball game ever. Oh my God, I'm getting run over by an airplane. Now I'm inside the plane and guess who the boss is. An airplane. I'm fighting an airplane inside of an airplane! There's also a truck with blue lips, a slot machine going berserk. Furniture flying all over the place and spiky wheels being pushed by cats on skateboards being pushed by little green things. I'm getting attacked by refrigerators, a magic electric vulture Jack-o'-Lantern Grim Reaper. And this thing, I can't describe it. I just can't. And the final boss is like some kind of cyborg version of Babe Ruth. There's a lot of good beat 'em up games like the Simpsons and Turtles in Time, but this one is totally underrated. Why wasn't this a huge success? Well, it only existed in the arcade and it never came out on a home console. Wow, they really dropped the ball on that one. Supposedly, only 43 arcade units were shipped to North America. That is sad. (Back to the Nerd on-screen, which is kinda feeling worried) The Nerd: The world needs to know about Ninja Baseball Batman. But right now, the only way to play it is on an emulator. Or if you happen to have access to one of the arcade units. No, this needs to come out again on a home console or better yet, Xbox Live! Ninja Baseball Batman! Ninja Baseball Batman
I remember going through the arcade selection when I was far younger (here on Mexico we have these machines that emulate multiple arcade games in one). When I saw this one I lost my shit. It looked so fucking good and it was so well made. Shame I didn't have as much coins as I wanted back then. I'm going to play and end this soon, I swear!
This game was surprisingly popular in Korea. Unlike the US, there are many arcades with boards, so there are quite a few testimonies from people who have encountered it. For that reason, a Korean person met the original author, had a good conversation, obtained the copyright for free, and aimed to develop the game, but it did not make any progress due to a lack of related technology, and it was delayed for almost 10 years and then suspended indefinitely. Recently, CRT Games of Korea, which is remaking the Snow Brothers series for the Nintendo Switch, seemed to have resolved copyright issues and started stable game development, but news has stopped, perhaps because it was not completely resolved. As a game I really like, I hope the copyright issues are resolved and it is released (sad)
TheDARKYOSHI64 Ninja Baseball Bat Man's music problems were fixed in MAME sometime around 2012. I noticed because someone brought it to my attention in that year. The Irem M-92 board features a (custom?) V30 processor and there are decryption tables distinct to each game. That means that after time the decryption tables got more and more accurate until the music problems went away. You can hear the corrected music on my channel. M1 (Arcade Music Player) was unable to play the music correctly in the past, and I had no available sound test, so I ported over fixes from a newer version of MAME and recompiled it.
Yo de niño jugaba este juego en las máquinas arcade aunque no lo termine de jugar fue entretenido, como curiosidad este juego de baseball ninja está basado en las tortugas ninjas digo los mismos colores menos el amarillo
Imagine if they made a movie about this game, if they did then it'll be awesome Here's a teaser of my idea of the plot Captain Jose: Boston Stick straw: Australia Beanball roger: Russia Twinbats ryno: Texas
There's a character that blews my mind who's name was "Captain Jose"! A VIDEO GAME CHARACTER WHO DOES NINJA CRAP WHO'S NAME WAS JOSE!!!! THAT WOULD BE LIKE IF THEY MADE A GAME ABOUT ANCIENT ROME AND ONE OF THE CHARACTER'S NAME WAS YANG!!! *Mind blown*
