Unlike its predecessors, which were predominantly released on earlier consoles and featured simpler, 2D graphics, "Famista 64" makes the jump to 3D, allowing for a more immersive and dynamic baseball experience. The game includes a variety of Japanese teams and players, reflecting the local popularity of baseball, and offers an array of gameplay modes such as exhibition matches, all-star games, and full seasons, catering to both quick play sessions and more prolonged engagements.

The game mechanics of "Famista 64" are designed to be accessible yet deep, providing a fun experience for both beginners and seasoned gamers. Players can enjoy the strategic aspects of baseball, including pitching, batting, and fielding, with controls that are easy to learn but hard to master. Strategic elements are also introduced through managing teams and players, adding an additional layer of depth. Despite being primarily released in Japan and not seeing international distribution, "Famista 64" has been appreciated for maintaining the charm and enjoyment of the series while successfully transitioning into a new generation of gaming technology.
