Following Soccer, Tennis, and Ice Hockey, Baseball is the fourth NES sports game from Nintendo to hit the Wii's Virtual Console. While even after all these years Ice Hockey is still a blast to play, time wasn't so kind to Soccer and Tennis. And now time has claimed another victim: Baseball.
Like the other early first-party sports games for the NES, Baseball is a bare-bones re-creation of the sport. You can play single-player against the CPU (there's no difficulty option) or take on a friend in two-player mode. There are six teams to choose from--you may know their names from a little thing called "the alphabet." Yes, the teams are simply named A, C, D, P, R, and Y. Other than having different-colored uniforms, there doesn't appear to be any difference between the teams; there are no player names, nor are there any statistics to speak of.
It's just like real baseball, without all of the pesky fielding.
