Description: Konami's first baseball game for the Nintendo 64 continues the franchise which began on the PlayStation in 1996. The 128-Meg cartridge includes 30 big league teams and over 750 MLBPA players with statistics and ratings based on the 1998 season. While Bottom of the 9th does not offer a Major League Baseball license for professional team names or logos, the featured clubs are all represented by city name and play in authentic ballparks.
Players can work on hitting, pitching and fielding in Practice, play one game against the computer or a friend in Exhibition, participate in an All-Star Game, take one team through an adjustable Season, jump directly to the Playoffs or World Championship, or try their hand at finishing a Scenario. In addition, three different camera angles let you customize your view of the action. Besides the traditional behind-the-batter perspective, you can choose from a behind-the-pitcher or an angled view to the left or right of home plate.
The cursor system featured in previous installments is available in this game as well. In order to hit, players steer a rectangular cursor to the anticipated location of the incoming pitch. An "X" in the center of the cursor represents the sweet spot of the bat, resulting in solid contact if it is aligned with the "O" representing the ball. Pitching involves first selecting the pitch using the control stick, then aiming it with the help of a transparent catcher's mitt. If players attempt a throw that is not available, the pitcher will shake the catcher off.
The Scenario mode places you in the thick of things as you try to work your way out of twenty fantasy situations based on the 1998 and 1999 seasons. Some of these include Mo Vaughn facing former teammates as the Anaheim Angels visit the Boston Red Sox, Robb Nen working out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the ninth, or David Wells trying to finish his 1998 perfect game with the New York Yankees. Scenario progress, season statistics (in 29 categories), trades and option settings can all be saved to Controller Pak (using 112 pages), and a play-by-play announcer will call the action from the booth as you strive to reach the championship!
