'''''Baseball''''' is a [[Game Boy]] | '''''Baseball''''' is a [[Game Boy]] remake of the {{wp|Baseball (1983 video game)|Nintendo Entertainment System game of the same name}}. The game is based on the {{wp|Baseball|eponymous sport}}, most popular in the United States. It was released as a launch title for the Game Boy in both Japan and the United States, alongside ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', ''[[Tetris]]'', and ''[[Alleyway]]''. The game's cover in the Western release features [[Mario]] pitching a baseball; the Japanese cover does not. This game predates the first game in the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series, ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', by 16 years. | ||
The | The Game Boy version of ''Baseball'' was re-released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in 2011. | ||

The game boasts two separate modes: a United States mode (displayed in-game as "USA MODE") with English character names, and a Japanese mode (displayed in-game as "JPN MODE") where the characters' names are Japanese names. Aside from the names of the characters, the Japanese mode changes how the ball speed is indicated, the display order of the ball count, and the background music played. The game features only two teams regardless of the mode chosen: the [[White Bears]] (referred to in-game as W-BEARS; this team always bats first) and the [[Red Eagles]] (displayed in-game as R-EAGLES; this team always pitches first). Mario and [[Luigi]] both appear as pitchers in the "USA MODE," both playing for opposite teams. | |||
By using the [[Game Boy#Game Link Cable|Game Boy Video Link Cable]], it is possible to play the game with two players. | |||
One key difference between the NES and Game Boy versions is that the Game Boy version introduces the ability to let the player control the players catching the balls out on the field. If the player wishes to let the computer control the players in the field, they can opt out by not pressing any buttons; pressing a button during this scene will let the player take control. | |||
