Description

"Extra Innings" is a baseball video game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1992, developed by Sony Imagesoft and Affect Co., Ltd. This game captures the essence of America's favorite pastime with its playful animation and arcade-style gameplay, making it accessible for players of all ages. Unlike many other baseball video games from the same era, "Extra Innings" offers a unique mix of American and Japanese elements, reflecting a hybrid influence due to its Japanese development team. Players can choose from 12 fictional teams, each with distinct abilities and characteristics, and they can play in either single matches or an entire season mode to pursue the championship.

The game mechanics of "Extra Innings" are designed to be both simple and engaging, featuring easy-to-understand controls for batting, pitching, and fielding. One of the game’s standout features is its team editor, which allows players to create custom teams, adjusting player names, attributes, and their appearances, providing a personalized gameplay experience. Additionally, "Extra Innings" implements mode 7 graphics, a popular graphical effect on the SNES that gives a pseudo-3D look, particularly evident during pitching sequences where the camera angle shifts to behind the pitcher for a more dynamic view. This game is often praised for its playful graphics and fluid animations, which stand out amongst other sports titles of the time.
