Hello all of you gamers and arcade loving people in the world. My name is Vizzfan23 and this is my Ninja Baseball Batmen retro game review. For all of the people that read my last review over WWF Wresltefest, you know that I think that Wresltlefest is one of the best arcade games of all time. Well since I love arcade games a whole lot , in this review I am going to talk about my second favorite arcade game. It may be one of least known games of the arcade era but still it is really fun.  That game is called Ninja Baseball Batmen. Hopefully you will enjoy this great review over a very underestimated game of a great gaming era.
 
Have you ever imagined a game filled with ninjas and baseball. Well if you ever have this is the game for you. Ninja Baseball Batmen is a terrific mash up of Double dragon but with baseball bats and living gloves to fight. Even if that doesn't make you excited for this game then maybe the fact that only about 20 of these arcade machines where made with only about 5 of those coming to the states. That would make this fun arcade game one of the rarest games of all time.

Even with the rarity of this amazing it would not be same without all of the terrific graphics that gives this game its awesomeness. The animations of this game, in my opinion are some of the best ever produced on the arcade platform. The animations really help the fictional feel of the game by making all of the living gloves and fighting playing cards makes me feel like that the animators really took their time to form this part of the game. The terrific color scheme of this arcade classic really makes the game come to life. What I mean by that is that would you really want to play a Mortal Kombat or Super Mario game without the great colors that make the characters and stages rememberble. Unlike many games, I couldn't  really find anything wrong with any of the graphics which helps the graphic part of the game earn a perfect 10 out of 10.

Although the graphics of this lost treasure are perfect, are the sounds of this amazing game up to par? Well as soon as you insert your hard earned money into the machine the game will let you know with a deep voice saying "Oh Yeah." Even after the game starts the sounds of the bats smashing into your enemies and the sound you make while running sound very clear and realistic. I mean there are very few mistakes in the sound quality like when ever you throw something at an enemy for a slight second the sound quality of the game drops very severely but is most of the time unnoticeable. Even though the drop in quality is very rarely a problem it still brings down the rating of the sound from what would have been a perfect 10 out of 10 to a nearly perfect 9 out of 10.

Even with the perfect graphics with the near perfect sounds that the game releases into to your home, what is the point of playing the game if it is bland and boring. Well this game is the complete opposite of bland and boring with its really bright colors and terrific beat em up style of game play. Right off the bat you really notice that this game really uses all of the common things that are used in a game of baseball they make into really fun and crazy enemies and bosses that will keep any form of gamer in the arcade or in front of the computer(to play the ROM version) for a very long time. I mean I have caught my self playing this game for 3 or 4 hours at a time. I really think that any body that loves the classic games like Double Dragon and Final Fight will really enjoy the combination of beating up a whole lot of baddies with the fun of getting to use ninjas. Come on who doesn't like ninjas using all of their cool skills to try to save the world. So with all of the awesome enemies and terrific style of gameplay that this title offers really helps this game earn its 9 out of 10 rating. 

Now even with the perfect graphics and nearly perfect sounds and addictiveness that will keep bringing you back to this awesome game, it just wouldn't fell quite right if this amazing game lacked a great story, a good depth, and a nice difficulty that fits in with the design of the game. The story of this amazing arcade game is a very simple one that the developer really makes it feel like that it  could be on the big screen as a movie.  One day an evil corporation named Jado which breaks into the National Baseball Hall of Fame so they can steal 7 different ,golden baseball items and use them to take over the world. The commissioner of Major League Baseball then calls upon the 4 ninja baseball batmen to try and recover all of the stolen items. See what I mean, that sounds like a terrific story that any person in Hollywood could turn into a 5 star movie. Because of  that I believe that the storyline of this game really deserves a very good 8 out of 10 rating.

Even with all of these great things like the perfect graphics and very good storyline where would this game be if there were no depth or any challenges for the gamer to over come. Well the depth of this game is what really forms the storyline of the by forming 8 different environments with 3 different parts to each which really helps this game one of the few games that can actually keep a gamer coming back over and over again just to replay the amazing story. The story however is the kind of story that slowly brings up the difficulty of all of the enemies and bosses until you finely get to the final boss which is so hard that it will take at least 3 or 4 tries to defeat him. All of these reasons lead me to believe that both the Depth of this amazing beat em up and the difficulty of the enemies deserves a decent 7 out of 10 rating.

So after deeply looking inside this long lost action/beat em up style game, what is the overall rating of it. Well after taking all of the ratings of every single aspect of the game into account I am going to give this game an very awesome 9.4 out of 10 rating. This is very high for an arcade game like WWF Wrestlefest (it earned a 9) and Mortal Kombat (It earned and 8.6) which it really an understatement for this arcade game. I would definitely recommend this game to every person I have ever meet.

So with that, this is the end of another Vizzed.com retro game review. If you know any good games that I should review, just leave a comment below.

Nice job on this review man, it is nice and lengthy and awesome! Considering you are sew new on vizzed, this is truly an awesome review, at 1,200 words I wasn't able to write anything like this when I first came to vizzed so nice job.  I bet half the kids at my school couldn't write a review half as good as this. You had great organization and you broke everything down nicely and put it all into a great amount of detail, so nice job with that! 

I like how you also give reasons for your scores which is something a lot of users don't do. They just slap a score down without even explaining what made it deserve that score.

Overall, excellent work on this, I think you have a lot of potential to keep making awesome and possibly featured reviews. Keep up the good work and keep writing! Merry Christmas! 

Vizzfan23 :  I see you have posted another really great and well worded review, Well, just a little tiny add-on for future review, just pit in a title in each of those categorizes and it'll be a little easier to read, but I still think as you being a newbie still (you're be a regular member in a couple days), I think you got a whole lot to offer in the whole gaming reviews on Vizzed in the future, looking forward on seeing more reviews from you.

I agree with Razor, normally on average, users that is at your amount of posts you have now doesn't even post up to 500 words and if they do, it'll be such a mess to read, but you got at 1,200 words and all clean, and with your age, that's even more amazing at your position right now.
Keep it up
