Baseball Simulator 1000 - The Best and Funniest Baseball Game You've Never Played

[learning]

Wanted to make a thread on one of my favorite sports games of all time: Baseball Simulator 1000 for NES.

If you haven't seen or played it, basically it's a baseball game, but with power ups and special moves.

Special moves can be used by pitchers, batters, and by fielders when defending.

For instance, pitchers can use special moves to pitch invisible pitches or superspeed pitches. Batters can respond with special moves like Uber-powerful lined rives, unfieldable grounder, and other big hits. And some outfielders can even leap into the stratosphere to catch would-be home runs! Specials are limited so they're strategic.

The game is absolutely hilarious. I spent a ton of time playing this game with friends in college--and that's when we had games like The Show and NBA 2K available to us. There are pitchers that can shift their pitch left and right with the dpad during the pitch. There's a pitcher that literally can throw at like 10 mph.

Here's a great video showing why this game is so fun with friends:

Note that you can play IN SPACE.

For anyone into baseball or whacky sports games, this is one of the best. I wish there were sequels but it doesn't look like there have been further updates since the 90s.

I watched the full four minutes and there was none of the super powers you mentioned. Just looked like a clone of RBI Baseball.

I used to play Super Baseball Simulation 1000 on the SNES all the time as a kid, didn't even know it was a sequel till now.

Used to love this shit. So much fun and insane.

I played Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 for the SNES. I remember one pitch was a slowball that twirled around as it was being thrown. The CPU would always swing and I always made it curve afterwards for an easy strike.

Shame SBS 1.000 2 was canceled.

I remember that game. It also reminded me of this:

Which is kind of crazy because it's now 2020.

Those weird pitches were insane on the SNES. Weren't all your players robots?

Loved this game. I miss arcade baseball.

Yeah, OP dropped the fly ball there. Here's a better video, powers start kicking in on the second pitch:

My favorite baseball game in the past when i was younger. Give a try at Super Mega Baseball 3, its pretty impressive. You dont have the fancy powerups it was having, but it play very great and give that old school feel.

Here you go. This video gives an overview of all of the special moves. If you plan on giving the game a try, I recommend not watching all of them! Being surprised is really fun:

Here's a video with the powers. Having played both, this and RBI Baseball were nothing alike. My favorite super power was the one where you could hit multiple fielders to the wall.



Edit: wowwww beaten by seconds

Most fun baseball game. Super mega baseball needs those powerups and then we could have a debate

 

[Tya]

I played this a ton as a kid.

 

[walkinfast]

Absolutely loved this game. Played the hell out of it when I was a kid.

 

[BorganXI]

I absolutely loved this game. All the stats it kept, playing through a whole season. Such a fun game.

 

[BringBackSonics]

I'm sorry OP, but Baseball Stars by SNK was the best on the NES

 

[AxkilAvenger]

Culture Brain made weird as hell games that were awesome!

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Played so much of this, Base Wars, and Baseball Stars as a kid.

I was just thinking about that! I am going to pick up SMB3, I think a power ups option in SMB4 would be an awesome selling point. There is still a market for ridiculousness in sports games, and I think Baseball is particularly well suited for it.

I hope the Super Mega Baseball developers consider adding powerups/specials to their game!

Liked both the NES and SNES games. There are 4 more more that are Japanese exclusive on snes that I have no idea about but probably should.

 

[acheron_xl]

My step brother and I were obsessed with these games, both NES and SNES versions. We'd each make three custom teams in the ultra league and sim season after season after season, logging the stats in a notebook. Must've spent a couple thousand hours playing them. Easily the definitive sports game of my childhood.

And the best power was easily the one that made a hit a bullet line drive that took out a fielder. It would turn bloopers into doubles or triples, and in a couple of the stadiums with short fences, easy homers. Very OP. Can't remember if that was the NES or SNES version, though. Or both.

Awesome video! Updated the OP with this, this is exactly why the game is so fun!

I wish someone would translate the Japan-only games and put the roms out therem

 

[Iron Eddie]

The SNES game is the one I had. Tons of fun.
