Great Sluggers

Great Sluggers is a baseball arcade game that’s released by Namco in 1993 only in Japan; it’s the first game to run on the company’s then-new NB-1 hardware (a Motorola 68EC020 primary microprocessor running at 24.192 MHz, with a Mitsubishi M37702 sub-microprocessor running up at 16.128 MHz and a C352 custom sound chip running up at 24.192 MHz for sound). The gameplay is largely similar to that NS2 (1991-93) era of Namco’s own World Stadium series, in which both players must take controls for two of twelve real-life Japanese baseball teams in the Central and Pacific Leagues, then select one of four stadiums for the match to take place in – and two are carried over, from all the WS titles (but the Kōshien has been renamed, to the “Urban”), while the other two were created specifically in this game.
