What's New -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Version 1.0 (10/31/10): The first version. ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 2. Introduction -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Extra Bases is one of the better baseball games for the Game Boy. There are no fancy game modes to choose from, but there are 14 teams you can play with. In the 1P mode, it is a tournament-type setting where you can continue playing every other team in the league (provided you win) with a single team, and once you defeat the other 13 teams, the game is complete. To facilitate this, there is a password feature to help you out. As for the controls, they are great and not really slow at all. That automatically makes this title a great Game Boy sports game, not to mention the game is actually fun. Try it out if you can; great sports games on the GB are few and far between! ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 3. Controls -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ================ Batting Controls ================ A (hold): Swing bat A (tap): Bunt A + Left/Up/Right (tap direction): Run back to previous base B + Up/Down/Left (tap direction): Steal base Start: Call time out ================= Pitching Controls ================= A: Pitch ball (press first time to set aim, then A + direction to choose pitch type) B: Switch to infield view (A + direction to throw to bases) Start: Call time out ================= Fielding Controls ================= Control Pad: Move fielder towards the ball B + Left/Down/Right: Dive to catch ball B + Up: Jump straight up to catch ball A + Up/Down/Left/Right: Throw to specified base with ball in hand B + Up/Down/Left/Right: Run to specified base with ball in hand ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 4. Overview -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ============== Gameplay Modes ============== At the start, you can choose either 1P or 2P mode. If you press Left/Right, you can choose to play a standard 9-inning game or a shorter 5-inning run. The next screen will be the team selection screen. Pick from the 14 available teams, then enter a password if you have one, followed by the opponent's team. Once you do that, you can select from the two types of stadiums: City and Park. It is merely for aesthetics, so there is no advantage to one over the other. After you pick a field, you will be able to choose your team's starting pitcher from a list of six. Once you do that, the game will begin! ============ In-Game Tips ============ As you will notice, the controls when trying to steal a base are not that clunky at all. You need to hold B and tap in the direction of the base you want your runner(s) to steal. They will take off as the pitcher begins his wind up. Also, when bunting, hold Left/Right to choose the direction of your bunt; that way it doesn't go right back to the pitcher for an easy out! Luckily, when playing the field, your players tend to move at a decent speed. If you are playing the field after the ball is hit, you will be able to control your players' movements with the Control Pad. You will not be able to tell if you are in the perfect position to catch a ball, so you need to take clues from the shadows and the sound being made when the ball is in the air. Your infielders will run to their respective bases, but you can control the nearest player to the ball by using the Control Pad. If you are at bat and have runners on base, there is something you need to be careful about. If the ball is hit and the runners advance to base, and the ball is CAUGHT, the runners must tag the starting base again or they can be thrown/tagged out at that base (if you know baseball, this makes sense). However, if you send your runners to the next base and they have already arrived at the base, you can NOT send them back, causing some forced outs to occur, so watch out! ========= Post-Game ========= After the game, you will go to a screen where you see the final box score and your team's overall record. An important thing to note is the four character password in the top-right area of the screen. That way, you can continue where you left off and play the next available team. Once you beat all 13 teams with the same team, the game is over. ***************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -= 5.
