Xbox One RBI Baseball Returns This Spring

[KN1GHTMARE]

The RBI Baseball series is making a return this spring with the release of RBI Baseball 14, Major League Baseball announced today. Very little is currently known about the game beyond the fact that it's coming to current- and next-gen consoles, tablets, and smartphones, and will be developed by MLBAM, or Major League Baseball Advanced Media.

The original RBI Baseball, developed by Namco and released on NES in 1986 in Japan and 1988 in North America, was the first officially licensed MLB game on the market. It spawned a number of sequels and led to the development of other MLB-licensed baseball games, with the RBI series disappearing in the mid-1990s. A revival appeared to be in the works several years ago when a listing for an RBI Baseball game for Xbox Live Arcade showed up on the ESRB's website, but no such title was ever released.

Well it's about time we get a new baseball game on a Microsoft console since 2K has stepped away from the game. Now the question is whether or not this will be any good. I remember playing the original on my original "fatboy" gameboy. Will be interesting to see it make the transition to the next gen. What do you guys think?

I am kinda excited about the prospect of a new mlb game on the Xbox one. Just been burned by mlb2k series too many times. Gonna wait until pics begin to surface. Since baseball is my favorite sport, I need a great game.

Hmmm... interesting. So Xbox One gets a new baseball game! The question on whether it will be good or not... well, we'll have to just wait and see. But good that Xbox One gets a deal. Sweet. Give us a trailer and we'll see. Even a demo will suffice.

Baseball! Yeah, awesome, awesome. I agree, at least the X1 is getting something with baseball. And yes, we need some pics pronto. I don't want to see chibi-formed baseball characters! No way, no way.
