Stocka Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Remember the baseball game nintendo revealed a while ago for GC? But it got canned? Well... http://www.cubed3.com/news/4582 Our friends at Aussie-Nintendo are reporting that a source close to Nintendo has confirmed Pennant Chase Baseball, originally for GameCube, has now been pushed onto the forthcoming Revolution as a launch title. The possibilities for new control could be amazing, if true. Definately makes sense. Its the obvious reason they canned it, so looks like this is pretty much a confirmed rev title.

Hellfire Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Kind of obvious that it was postponed to rev, but will it work OK? Yeah they seem right for Revo, but it might be weird to play not to mention that someone that can't play baseball can't possibly play this...

raven_blade2006 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yes, thats smart. Focus entirely on the Revolution launch. If this all goes to plan it will have the largest and most diverse range of launch titles ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooj Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yeah, I thought this was a given but a confirmation is still nice. I won't be getting it, baseball games aren't my thing but yeah, this should do really well especially in the states as I believe that everything is fully licensed, right? From players to stadiums to other things, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Yeah good decision!! The controller will work perfectly with the game and a showcase for the new control system; and Baseball is pretty much Americas favourite sport and popularin Japan aswell so it's a great title to have in the launch line-up!! If Pro Evo (Winning Eleven) is in the sports launch line-up along side this, it'll be even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YenRug Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Wasn't there a baseball swing as one of the game ideas, in that Nintendo promo video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightendo Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 there was indeed. it was the guy playing the drums then he put his cap on and played baseball. looked amazing! i really hope this is a launch title, it'll be another great title to show off the system, and in the states and japan where baseball is more popular the fact that it is fully licenced will show that a lot more of these types of games are possible, maybe from third parties. personally, i'd buy it!! no, i'm not a huge baseball fan but i think it'd be great fun to play and be a great party game. i think there'll be different settings so anyone who isn't really accurate with the bat can adjust settings and the like, so everyone, no matter the skill level, can play together - sounds very nintendo to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkjak Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Thank GOD it wasn't canned! Another "adult" title for the Rev then... Let's just hop Nintendo come to their right sences and release GTA and Gran Turismo killers, and Sony'll be ROADKILL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system_error Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I just hope Nintendo doesn't do too much sport titles. I admit Baseball perfectly fits like golf or fishing but I prefer simple sport games like golf in Super Monkey Ball 2. Generally I think it is a good move from Nintendo to develop non "Nintendo Universe" aswell. Realistic racing would be my favourite. Something like Gran Turismo maybe without "real" car names but a cool damage model (it costs a lot to let real brand cars get deformed and stuff).

Kurtle Squad Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Yeah...If Nintendo get some 1st or 2nd Party 'realistic' games, there will be no chance of them being defeted...MUHAHAHAHA!!!!.....They could make a football game that isn't as naff as Fifa (their own Winning Eleven) ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Hmm, I'd quite like a baseball game but I'd prefer to wait for something a bit less dull - maybe a new mario baseball or some kind of jap manga baseball-rpg. The kiddies who care if a game is "adult" or not should just bite the bullet and buy a PS3 or 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would like real brands, but not so extremelly many as in GT... I think that Nintendo shouldn't have the more ridiculous vehicles they had in GT, like the T-Ford, or a centilion different versions of the same cars! And yes, damage would be great!

Dude, Nintendo need more gamers to buy the Rev, and to do that, they have to beat Sony in their own court, so to speak. Just like Sony made God of War to compete with Zelda, Nintendo need something to kick Sony's but in the sports department! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Nintendo's strategy this generation is the complete opposite, if they try and beat Sony at their own game they will lose. They need to form a seperate niche rather than battling on the graphics and "serious" sports, racing games etc front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightendo Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 i have every faith nintendo will win through like they have with the DS, how they will do this with their "blue ocean" strategy we'll just have to wait and see.... but i agree that this baseball game sounds great, and if something more party-style (although i think even "serious" sports titles will be a lot more fun with the new controller) like a new mario tennis was out at launch too we could all choose... or just buy both!
