Videogame Review, Baseball for the Nintendo Entertainment System (w/ Brand New NES Advantage Joystick Controller)
This is a primitive baseball game in recent years. If I was playing baseball games on the Atari 2600 video game console for some years in the 1980’s, and, if I was just getting into Baseball for the Nintendo Entertainment System, without knowing anything about the future of modern baseball games, I would “kiss” this classic NES game and look at it as pure gold. Baseball games on the Atari 2600 video game console were not very good at all. Baseball for the Nintendo Entertainment System was a breath of fresh air for many experienced gamers up to this point in the 1980’s. Sure, the game is too simple and too unreal… in today’s standards. When Nintendo was making Baseball for the public it was a different story in the 1980’s. At the time, in the 1980’s, Nintendo did “believe” that Baseball was a realistic 3D sports video game. In the instruction manual for Baseball, Nintendo was saying the gameplay was not a malfunction. Modern reviewers of video games think Baseball is a malfunction. However, for Nintendo’s time of release, Baseball was not a “malfunction” and was just a normal computer function. Do you find that hard to believe?! I’m playing Baseball with the NES Advantage joystick controller. Everything does feel like arcade quality for the 1980’s somewhat. Of course, the controls do get complicated; and, while Nintendo did say in the instruction manual that Baseball gameplay was not a malfunction they did say that the gameplay was “complicated” up to this point in history. From reading the instruction manual I know the gameplay is muddy effect of physics. Some ideas in the instruction manual are not really descriptions of TV. I think Nintendo was thinking of real baseball in their own awareness of reality and they were trying to put up a funny show about baseball with a brand new video game you could probably get at nice video game stores. (Do you remember Sears?) Baseball does have arcade gameplay quite a bit. Playing with the players in the outfield was more fair and involving during the 1980’s for Baseball in comparison to Atari 2600 baseball games. From a historical perspective you can see a “simulation” going on with the 8-bit gameplay; even if, at times, the computer really does the work and not you. It’s pretty funny to see the baseball players acting really goofy on the baseball field. The arcade charm can be silly and dumb. Pitching and hitting are baseball modes with a great deal of variations with movement. Sometimes I wonder what the outfielders are doing. “Outfield” was very difficult to program for a baseball videogame in the 1980’s and we have a history of vintage, retro baseball video games that fail in the “outfield” department. Baseball videogames did really need to have terms with reality. Baseball for the Nintendo Entertainment System was a funny “amusement park” video game that was entertaining enough for baseball fans to get the Nintendo Entertainment System going. There was something like magic. By today’s standards, we would not really consider this a real baseball game, although it does have sweet vibes and ridiculous outfield. Auto-fire is not anything of very much use with the NES Advantage. The NES Advantage is a very good controller for Baseball although I do find Baseball to be too complicated for its own humor and purpose of real sports.
