I only recently discovered that Baseball games can be quite fun! Until now they were just the annoying carts which filled the junk boxes in Japanese game stores.... Somehow it would be quite a cool (and cheap) collecting goal to own every Famicom Baseball game released. As I couldn't find a list I pulled one together. Am I missing a game in the list? And which Baseball game do you enjoy the most? For me this would be Choujin Ultra Baseball atm.

I haven't really played too many baseball games... actually I've only played Nintendo Baseball and Sega's Great Baseball on the Master System.
I really love the simplicity of Nintendo's sports games. You can literally just pick up and play and know all the controls within seconds. I have never been able to beat the computer though, because I suck at sports. Playing with a friend can be a lot of fun!!
There is a baseball game on the Famicom Quattro Sports 4 in 1 pack, and the game might have been released as a single also (I forget)...
How about "Battle Baseball"?
It has Godzilla and Ultraman characters (and others) in it, but it's still a baseball game.
(It's my personal favorite because it's stragne for a baseball game.)
The one on Quattro Sports isn't that bad actually! Thanks for the tip :)
Not sure about Battle Baseball - I guess it's a bit too strange for my taste... ::)
I like Choujin Ultra baseball too. Moero Pro Yakyuu and Family Stadium I like, but mainly because I played them on the NES as a kid (the NES version of Family Stadium is way better since it uses actual MLB player names).
The original pulse line Baseball cart is also pretty good, I love the shape of the field in that one.
Couldn't find Emoyan no 10-bai Pro Yakyuu on your list. It feels a bit more like a simulator than the usual arcade romp, has some nice graphics too.
Thanks for that, Issun. Looks interesting!
