 "N64 Magazine" had a similar response, feeling that Namco should have made their Nintendo 64 debut with titles like "Rage Racer" or "Tekken" instead of a baseball game, a genre which they felt was plentiful on the console already.They also disliked the slow speed of the CPU players and the lack of replay value.IGN listed it as part of the "Middle of the Road Imports" section in their list of the best imports for the console, saying that the game itself was fun but not as good as Konami's "Power Pros" series.
