Video Game Baseball : The Japanese way
RRDelay | 1:11 PM on 09.11.2008 1 comments


Now, I am quite aware that many of the D-Toid Readers are not very avid sports fans. Completely understandable. Why play a game of a sport you can just go outside and play, right? Most people will avoid this blog like the plague just because baseball is in the title, but i digress!

The Japanese take on baseball has always intereseted me, as there commitement is on the same level as professional players. The amount of skill within their leagues is quite comparable, if not stronger in many cases. Yet knowing those crafty Japanese, I always felt that they were holding some of their best stuff back.

After viewing this video i believe i finally have my conformation of their crafty hiding ways. Just give the video about 30 seconds, and you'll see the shinanigans they've been hiding from us. I believe this game was around the Playstation 1 era, around 1999.



Oh those wacky Japanese and their unusual playing styles. We would have had no chance against this calibur of skill. Thankfully they let us off easy.

I've already watched the video on Japanator, but I still find it funny after viewing it a second time. :O)
