'''''Baseball''''' is a [[Game Boy]] port of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] title, ''{{wp|Baseball (1983 video game)|Baseball}}''. The game is based on {{wp|Baseball|the sport of the same name}}, 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 official [[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario-themed baseball game]], ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', by 16 years.
The Game Boy version of ''Baseball'' was re-released on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console]] in 2011.
==Gameplay==
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 character's 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 mode chosen: [[White Bears]]<ref name="INS">[https://www.thegameisafootarcade.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Baseball-Game-Manual.pdf Baseball Instruction Booklet], pages 17-20.</ref> (referred in-game as W-BEARS; this team always bat first) and [[Red Eagles]]<ref name="INS"></ref> (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.
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.
{{br}}
==Characters==
The stats for players are ranked with letters, A through C (with the exception of batting; batting is A through E). A would be the strongest, C (or E) the weakest stat possible.
*Batting (A-E) indicates likelihood to hit ball when batting.
*Skill (A-C) indicates chance of a successful {{wp|Bunt (baseball)|bunt}} when batting.
*Stamina (A-C) indicates how easily the character gets tired, A being the toughest to tire. This stat is exclusive to pitchers.
*Speed (A-C) indicates how fast (on average) the character pitches. As such, this stat is exclusive to pitchers.
*Changeup (A-C) indicates sharpness of curve and screwball when pitching. As such, this stat is exclusive to pitchers.

==[[Nintendo 3DS#Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]] description==
;North American version
<blockquote>''Re-live the glory of this 1989 Game Boy™ classic.''
''As the pitching team, deliver a series of fastballs while adjusting curve and speed, but be careful not to wear out your pitcher. If the batter connects, your outfield or infield will back you up.''
''As the batting team, shift your batter on the home plate and time each swing at the incoming ball. Try to safely reach the next base, or swing for a home run.''</blockquote>
;European version
<blockquote>''Strategy, skill and determination: it takes all three to win in Baseball!''
''Choose a starting pitcher from your bullpen (Mario is an old favourite). Hurl fastballs past the batter. If he connects, your outfield backs up to snag a fly. A sturdy infield backs you up on grounders and pop-ups. Three outs later and your team is up. Take a strike to feel out the pitcher, then drive a long one - it's a home run!''
''You can even choose between American or Japanese-style modes.''</blockquote>

==Trivia==
*The game includes a character named "Yoshi" that plays in the game's Japanese mode for the White Bears team as a batter. This game was released a year before [[Yoshi]]'s very first appearance in the Japanese release of ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and thus the connection is merely coincidental. In real life, Yoshi is a name in the Japanese language that can be a first name, a last name or a commonly used shortened nickname for a longer name.

The '''White Bears''' are one of two baseball teams in the [[Game Boy]] port of ''[[Baseball]]''. They appear in both the USA mode and the Japan mode, just with different team members in each mode. They are, by default, always the first to bat first. Their opponent team they play against in the game are the [[Red Eagles]]. Due to limitations of the Game Boy hardware, their in-game name is displayed as simply "'''W-BEARS'''".

I've been an active member on this website for 15 years and counting, since August 11, 2006. That's got to be older than some of you! My resume includes being a former sysop of the MarioWiki, former chat operator, former sysop of our now defunct Userpedia community, and least importantly, founding UnMario Wiki.

For the last decade following my demotions and exiles from the community, I've been on and off of this site. I'll drop in here occasionally to edit, but otherwise, here's my Twitter, Youtube, Instagram and Steam.

My website, work in progress. Not much on it, really.

take care, friends~
