Virtual League Baseball, known in Japan as Virtual Pro Yakyuu '95 (バーチャルプロ野球'95 Bācharu Puro Yakyū '95), is a 1995 baseball video game developed and published by Kemco for the Virtual Boy. A sequel, Virtual League Baseball 2, was planned, but later canceled due to the Virtual Boy console's poor sales.
Gameplay
There are three modes of play in Virtual League Baseball: Player 1 vs. computer, all-star game, and pennant race. In player 1 vs. computer, one single match is played between the player and the computer. In the all-star game, the player plays against the computer using a team of all-stars from America, Asia, or Europe. In the pennant race, the player plays a series of games against the computer, using passwords to resume play after turning off the console, instead of saving.
Development
The game is notable for being one of a few games playable for the Virtual Boy system at Electronic Entertainment Expo 1995 with coding so broken that it was literally impossible for the player to hit the ball.[1] Like all other Virtual Boy games, Virtual League Baseball uses a red-and-black color scheme and uses parallax, an optical trick that is used to simulate a 3D effect.[2]
Reception
The red-and-black color scheme used in the game were said to cause eye strain, headaches, and nausea.[2]
