    Super Mega Baseball 3 feels like the baseball games I used to love from a few generations ago. Liberated of the "depth" of modern sports games, there's an efficiency to the action that is appealing, and the gameplay modes that it does offer are all compelling. On the pitch, the difficulty curve is perfectly tuned, and while the game doesn't innovate and is ultimately destined to be the kind of thing that you pick up for short bursts of play at a time in multiplayer, the accessibility makes this one so much more appropriate for that than most other sports games out there. It's good, honest and clean entertainment, and that's something a lot of sports game developers have lost sight of in their efforts to monetise every moment of their content.

    The third iteration in this franchise holds many of the same values as the last two, but adds franchise mode, where you can take a team from the start and grow both your current players, and sign new ones as seasons go on. These are all welcome additions for players interested in more customization, though may limit new players looking for more of an arcade experience. As far as I’ve seen, there are no obvious issues with the switch port. The updated graphics are nice, but the feel has changed from outlandish and goofy to a bit closer to reality. There are still silly looks and sounds, but I’m missing a bit of the ridiculousness that the previous iterations brought. The gameplay seems to be a bit faster than before, with pitching and hitting being a little harder to time at first. Despite this, it remains a great game all around. If I had to make a change, it would be to bring updated graphics and game mechanics to the old silly character models, where butts stick out to make the characters look like an S.    … Full Review »
