Title: RBI for Genesis
Post by: nightwulf on 05/07/06, 11:57:54 PM
Has anyone played these? They play like shit, and the fielding sucks. However, after playing with all of them for a bit, I have an important announcement:

RBI Baseball '95 for 32X is the WORST port of RBI ever

I say this without touching the SNES, Game Gear, or Amiga versions, and I stand by it.

That is all.

The only Genesis port I've tried on an emulator was RBI 3, and while I didn't like it as well as the NES version (everything just seemed a little "off"), it wasn't as bad as the one I tried on the SNES (Super RBI Baseball, maybe?), which I'm guessing was pretty similar to the one you played on the Genesis.  Monstrosities, all of them.

They should've stuck to the path the Family Stadium series did - they never tried to make things more realistic or more like other new baseball games (Super RBI zoomed in on the fielders and added a radar, like in Griffey), just making graphical and audio updates for newer hardware.  I've played some of the more recent Family Stadium games on MAME, and even '98 is still very similar to original RBI in overall gameplay.

Yeah, they were cool for about 3 minutes -- -- long enough to see their stadium renditions and that's it.

The gameplay was assy.

I love how you're zoomed so far in you can't figure out where to move your outfielder until he's finally on screen, and then it's too late.

beefy, how are the Super famicom Family Stadium games?  i've been thinking about buying one of them off ebay.  is it easy to get through a season despite not knowing how to read a lot of the in-game text?  is there any sort of player edit mode?

I just played the arcade versions using an emulator, not the SNES versions, so I don't know.  The arcade version has a different name ("Super World Stadium", I think), but it's the same series.
