- In 1991, SNK developed and published a futuristic baseball game for the Neo Geo CD set in the year 2020. Super Baseball 2020 wasn’t just a fun, futuristic take on baseball... it was a sign of things to come.
If you're curious about how I captured this footage, I used the Neo Geo CD core in Retroarch on my desktop computer and used Sonkun's CRT shaders for that tube TV effect.

Always a good day when softdrinktv drops a video
Agreed

The video game "Super Baseball 2020" really matches what was happening in the real world at that time. A Global Pandemic that has paralyzed all sectors. Not only Tourism, Education and other sectors, but also Sports. Restrictions on tourists entering a country or city and No spectators in a sports match (American Football, Soccer, Baseball, etc.) Not only that, All activities are carried out at home and virtually. Starting from online learning, online concerts, online seminars and everything like that. It's not in vain if the baseball video game released in the 90s really predicted the future.
Wow
Considering how many of these Predictions came true these Devs may have known a bit too much lol
Another fun futuristic baseball game I loved when I was a kid was basewars for Nes.
Basewars was incredible
People in the 1900s: I'm sure 2020 will be amazing :)
People in 2020: ...
I highly recommend checking out baseball advance for the GBA, pretty amazing how much of a game they were able to fit on handheld hardware from the time
This was my GAME back in the day!
whoa this is an interesting game man, amazing video softdrink
This game is absolutely dope!!! I own it on Sega Genesis and the Arcade Archives version on PS4. Plus, I own a RetroPie with every single version of the game!
Edit - I also own the SNES version, as well…It’s ehh, but not as good as the Neo Geo and Genesis ones
Do more baseball content!! Great video, this game is nuts for its time
I remember playing this game. I played it on the Wii, on a smartphone emulator, and on PlayStation.
But you know what futuristic baseball games never ever predict because it would sound ridiculous at the time?
A pitch clock
My first game on Neo-Geo. I had the huge cartridge ❤ I had it before the cd was even an idea
You should do this for super mega baseball as well
The way this video was presented and title, almost made sounded like it was late april fools joke, but i can agree with Super Baseball 2020 it was good arcade fun baseball game. also there is a secret cpu vs cpu cheat where you Select a One Player game, then hold Select and press Start and then you able select both teams and watch them compete against each other. not alot of sports arcade to console port games offer that. have you thought about doing SNK sports titles like baseball stars series and their football games?
yo we’ve been frfr blessed with this amount of content 🖤🖤🖤🙏🏾
Great video as always
never heard of this banger! Thanks for this
You could have told that the MLB has robot teams now and I probably would have believed you. That's how little I watch baseball these days.
I got introduced to this game via the Continue? episode on the Super NES port.
It's still one of the funniest episodes they've ever done.
I miss old school SNK. They used to make games rather than only relying KoF and Metal Slug.
I thought I was the only one to know this game! GOAT tbh
Three vids in the same week. Dude, are you committing to your job more than usual?
Yes
@@SOFTDRINKTV All jokes aside, I think SNK’s published sports games deserve a supersized retrospective themselves, alongside the “WWE 2K” series and Midway’s sports games.
You should do one for WWF Smackdown on PS1
@@EazyE88 That’s part of the “2K” series’s lineage.
Amazing game, baseball stars also
I hope to see you do Cyberball soon great video
uploaded this before my 21st bday, sick.
Appreciate your videos on these classic sports games.... wheres your video on 2 on 2 Open ice challenge??? One of the best arcade sports games of all time
Reminds me of one of my favorite baseball games for the NES: Base Wars. You should do a review of that some day.
I loved the sports game of the 16bit era
Most really hold up til this day
Sega Genesis library is stellar as is Snes
BaseWars next!
Now i know why that game was predicts the future perfectly in real life.
for a second my eyes read the title as super baseball simulator 1.000
I was playing madden 11 ps3 and you look almost exactly like Javan Snead on the buccaneers
Loved this game as a kid, even though it was ridiculous. I'd play with my brother sometimes, but he would always kick my butt. Speaking of games where players could die as part of the game, mutant football league has that feature
I love how the music cut out as soon as he said the robots could *die* 😂
This game reminds me of that George carlin joke about putting land mines on thr field 😂😂
Ninja Black Sox is an amazing name 🤣🤣
You should make a video about SSX Tricky
i love this game i have it for the snes and the Sega genesis, i like using the all-female team the battle angels.
I've been playing MLB The Show 23 and really enjoying it. I'm curious to hear your thoughts (if you get a chance to play it).
MLB The Show has just been rinse and repeat for the past 6 years.
Do a video on Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball 🤣🤣🤣
Man, this video is already out of date: "It's not as if baseball is being played by robots…" YEAH, RIGHT.
I have that on arcade hardware
Where do u get the music das used in the video?
Predictive programming lol
I was just about to type that lol. Exactly.
U should do a review on mlb the show 23
SNK must be the Simpson
A SNK Game being hard? Who would have thunk.
LeBron James and Tom Brady both won rings in 2020. 2 GOATs
Mario strikers retrospective?
What an odd game in in odd world
This didn't predict the future, Rocket League did.
American Dreams and Ninja Black Sox were names of teams in SNK,s BaseBall Stars sports games
Best way to get hit/runs was to hit liners along the foul lines.
Also as a pitcher you can purposely hit the opposing teams boosted robot players. Especially when they are about to explode. In the SNES version of the game postion playing robots didnt explode they just lost all their skills and became slower. But bot pitchers would and they would become useless.
I felt this video was kind of reaching by comparing a baseball game being played in Cyberpunk genre setting to real world events in 2020.
Japanese games and anime trends from the mid 80,s to early 90,s was heavily influenced by the Sci Fi - dystopian cyberpunk genre.
So any predictions or comparisons is people seeing what they want to see or just coincidences.
"Obviously this didn't happen, baseball today isn't played by robots..."
I beg to disagree, sir...
Can you give me the sloppy toppy?
First
Friend, the issue is something common with people overly defensive and critical today.
You’re over analyzing things and taking them too literally. The 90’s was a decade where people were a lot less self conscious and a lot more relaxed. It’s a video game, and just shows how unnecessarily stressed out and overwhelmed people are today in a false sense of “intelligence.”
I wonder if the women players are human or more human than the other players
