    This game is just so fantastically good, it is an absolute MUST buy for baseball fans.
    Best arcade baseball game of all time, on any system from any era.
    It has to be one of the best arcade sports games, period, too. Gameplay feels rock solid, fun, fresh, fast, cheerful and upbeat. Its a shining gem of a game in my steam collection.

    Gameplay feels rock solid, fun, fresh, fast, cheerful and upbeat. Its a shining gem of a game in my steam collection.

    Ive only played 10 hours of SMB3 so far, but im playing it alongside the MLB the show and am loving diving into this regularly. I already have a baseball game I love - MLB The Show... But I find owning this too is the cherry on my happy baseball gaming cake. Multiplay with a friend was a blast. Switching between this and MLB is always a really fresh and extreemly welcome experience.
    Love that it exists!

    I started out with Super Mega Baseball 2 and bought 3 on the strength of 2. Hooked!
    Its too much fun not to own. There are a several game modes and plenty of options, but I myself mainly play short exhibition games. The difficulty setting called EGO which can be set from between 1 and 100. I mainly play the CPU and keep gradually increasing the difficulty.

    If you like baseball, buy this without any hesitation whatsoever.
    Also buy it if youre after a brilliant arcade sports game. This is gold!

    If you dont even play baseball, this game is worth learning the rules, just to play. Its fun!
    Its not the kind of game Id play all day long, but its so well polished and so much fun, I keep diving into the franchise and coming back for more games.

    Got it on steam sale. Love it. Recommend it very highly! Its earned a special place in my heart.    … Expand

    One of the best baseball games ever made and the best in my opinion since backyard baseball. This game is criminally underrated and is a perfect iteration of a team that poured their heart and soul into this franchise. By far the best gameplay in any baseball game, and maybe for any sports game for that matter. So many different game modes to choose from, and the franchise mode isOne of the best baseball games ever made and the best in my opinion since backyard baseball.

I've sunk hundreds of hours into this game. Thank you Metalhead.… Expand

    A lot of sports games can take inspiration from some of the good things Super Mega Baseball 3 offers and I hope that Metalhead Software can steal some good ideas for the training and management side of the sport from other games for Super Mega Baseball 4. Adding franchise mode was definitely a step in the right direction and hopefully it will be a fully fleshed out experience by the time they release the next game in the series. I would also love to see their interpretation of other sports games with the same arcade style and unique mechanics in the future.

    SMB 3 pretty much cancels its two predecessors by improving even the smallest details — now that’s an evolving franchise!

    While this year’s new additions add a sweet amount of new things to do for the franchise, they also arrive with a larger price tag. Super Mega Baseball 3 will launch with a 50% price increase over the last game. For players only interested in pick-up-and-play exhibitions, there is little new content available outside of crossplay. Prospective buyers who are intrigued by the Franchise Mode will need to consider the value offered by stepping up to something like MLB: The Show for a full-featured experience. For those who don’t have access to a PS4, Super Mega Baseball 3 still offers a solid overall package and will not disappoint anyone looking for a good time. 7/10 frozen ropes.
