It's fun playing a quick style of game and having fun . Now the controls take a bit to get used to but overall it is fun. It is like an old arcade style game so it is fun but takes some getting used to.

If you played RBI baseball on the NES you might be tempted to pick this up as a bit of nostalgia. While the controls are basically the same as 30 years ago, the game just feels mediocre now.

It's baseball plain and simple but it needs some work and some extras because it doesn't produce an immersive experience. I'd recommend it only because it's the only baseball option.

Now, keep in mind, I was not expecting to be thrown back by the graphics...what I was looking for was a fun/simple/ arcade baseball game. There's no way to modify difficulty in this game. It feels like it got stuck in the hardest setting. There is also no way to remap buttons either. You are left with the poorly crafted game that's not worth the investment. Save your pennies....

I was looking forward to playing baseball on my Nintendo Switch and pre-ordered this game. The first game I played, I lost 10-0 in the first inning. This game is hard. Graphics are great. I am going to re-read the dozen or so instruction screens and ease up on the difficulty and give it another chance, but so far, I can't recommend it to the casual gamer.

Decent baseball game for the price. More fun batting than fielding, because the fielding is more difficult to maneuver. Generally a fun game.

This game is absolutely average in every way. Graphics, sound and overall presentation are sparse, but gameplay wise, it is easy to pick up and play, and can be a lot of fun, especially in two player. Not a lot of sports games on the switch right now, this one is probably worth it if you find it on sale and keep your expectations low

I love baseball, and was hoping for something that would fill that void from a gaming perspective. This is not it. The game is boring, repetitive, and put together thoughtlessly. Pass on this one. I played it all of 30 minutes and was I have not picked it up since. If you want to play baseball games, I understand Playstation has rights to the MLB and that is were to go. Don't waste your time.

You get what you pay for. This is no frills, bare minimum baseball. The game is actually not bad, although I've not played a ton of baseball games in my day. I enjoy it, it's fun for a quick game or two. I have had the game freeze or glitch a couple times, but usually it's ok.

Before purchasing this game, I read some very mixed reviews. But after playing, it felt like exactly what I expected... a modern remake of the NES RBI Baseball game.
This makes it a very fast experience, without all the bloat and presentation of the more modern sports games, but the feature set is admittedly very light. I would recommend it around the $20 mark.
