Never re-released — the original cartridge is the only way to playLow counterfeit risk
Virtual Boy prices, all games & how to spot a fake

The cheapest game on the platform — and, surprisingly, still one you need the hardware to play.

A competent, unambitious baseball game where the 3D effect adds essentially nothing: a bit more depth on the incoming pitch, and that is it. The market has priced it accordingly. The genuine surprise is that it is not on Nintendo Switch Online — Kemco still exists and there is no obvious licensing landmine — which lands it in the same cartridge-only bucket as Virtual Lab and SD Gundam, for entirely different reasons. That makes it the cheapest way to own a Virtual Boy game you can't play any other way.

What the press said at the time

Poorly received on both sides of the Pacific, and it has not been reappraised: Defunct Games scored it 8/100 in 2005, among the lowest marks that site has ever given.

Worth knowing

  • Not a Nintendo game. Kemco America published it — one of only two North American Virtual Boy titles Nintendo did not publish, alongside Ocean’s Waterworld. Its barcode gives it away: the 741648 prefix is Kemco’s, where every Nintendo-published cartridge on the platform starts 045496.

Before you buy

Very low counterfeit risk — there is no incentive to fake a game this cheap. The Japanese title is Virtual Pro Yakyuu '95. Boxed copies run about 60% over loose in North America and more than double in Japan, so the box is a real decision rather than a rounding error.
