RBI Baseball

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

RBI Baseball is a baseball game that was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in November 1988. It was originally known as Pro Yakyuu Family Stadium in Japan, though renamed to RBI Baseball. With only an MLBPA licence, it features only the U.S. team names.

Tropes used in RBI Baseball include:
  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: All of the teams have a palette scheme that closely resembles their official team colours.
  • Gretzky Has the Ball: Rich Gedman, Dan Heep and George Brett are all presented as right-handed batters. In real life, they were left-handed batters.
  • In Name Only: Because Tengen only got hold of the MLBPA, the teams are represented only by the city name.
  • Joke Character: Rafael Santana, Willie Randolph and Al Pedrique, among others, are players who should be substituted immediately.
  • Market-Based Title
  • ROM Hack: This is one of the most popular NES games to be modified because of a game editor that changes just about everything in the game.
