All-Star Baseball 2001 (USA) (GBC)

All-Star Baseball 2001 for Game Boy Color delivers an authentic baseball experience right in the palm of your hand. Players get the opportunity to control professional baseball teams from Major League Baseball (MLB) with updated rosters from the 2000 season.

The game offers various play modes, including Exhibition for a quick match, and Season mode, which allows you to lead your favorite team through an entire long season, aiming to win the World Series championship.

Batting mechanics are designed to be intuitive. As a batter, you'll need to time your swing precisely, aiming to hit the ball squarely and drive it far. Factors like pitch type and ball placement will influence your batting outcome. You can choose between different swing types to suit the situation.

On the pitching side, you'll select your pitch type (e.g., fastball, curveball, changeup) and adjust its placement to fool the opposing batter. Accurate pitching and strategic variation are key to striking out opponents.

The fielding and base running systems are also simplified but retain necessary depth. When the ball is hit, you'll control your fielders to catch the ball, throw it to bases, or execute double plays. Quick decision-making is crucial to prevent the opponent from scoring.

Despite being a GBC title, All-Star Baseball 2001 features clear 2D graphics, vividly recreating players and stadiums. The game's sound also contributes to the lively atmosphere of a professional baseball game. This is an excellent choice for anyone who loves baseball and wants to play on the go.
