Rated 4 out of 5 stars
good budget title that is worth the price
As the switch does not have a lot of sports games yet I would say that for its price point this baseball game gives you a lot of fun at a very affordable price. especially that its a physical cart at this price. It does not have all the bells and whistles of a more in depth sports title, but sometimes thats a good thing. I enjoy that its more of a pick up and play type of game which really shines when you can play a quick game on the go. I would say pick up this game especially if your a best buy gcu member because with that discount the price vs replay value is very compelling.

Simple pick-up-and-play baseball game
I enjoyed the classic R.B.I. Baseball games on the NES, and was surprised to see it had been revived. I was even more surprised to discover that the basic two-button control scheme was still used, allowing my son and I to pick it up and play a game right away. There's no deep simulation here, but I wasn't looking for any. The presentation is a bit bland, and it could be cheaper on the Switch, but the core retro gameplay is intact.

So hard to rate...
I decided to pick this product because I like baseball and I remember the "good old days" when RBI Baseball was a thing. So, because of the price, and the fact that I would be playing it on the go, I decided to pick it up. Well, I am having a hard time figuring out if I like it or not. On the one hand, it really doesn't look at that great. In fact, it looks barebones. The presentation is pretty much non-existent (no commentary...really??). The game mechanics are super basic. On the other hand, it is portable since I picked it up for the switch, the graphics are passable, I sometimes appreciate the lack of presentation and the mechanics harken to old-school RBI games. All of this makes a game playable in 20 minutes. So, in the end, if you're looking for a all-bells-and-whistles, high productions, simulation type of game, you'll be sorely disappointed. However, if you want a passable, quick and simple game on the go, a 1/2 or less the price than it's The Show cousin, I'd say you'll enjoy it (you must get it on the Switch, though!).
