Capcom Baseball
棒球：Capcom
Capcom Baseball is a 1989 arcade sports game developed by Capcom, offering a straightforward baseball simulation for up to two players competing against each other. Players manage standard baseball mechanics, including pitching, batting, and fielding across a full nine-inning game. The pitching controls allow selection of pitch type and placement, while batting requires timing to make contact. Fielding is handled automatically or with player input to direct throws. Teams are selectable at the start, giving some variety before play begins. The game uses the classic top-down and side-view perspectives typical of arcade baseball titles from the era, presenting clean visuals suited to the cabinet format. It supports head-to-head competition, making two-player matches the primary draw.
