All Star Baseball 2000 - Nintendo 64 Review - HD

[@Fattydeposit]

Sometimes a creator is so iconic in his field that new uploads after a long absence elicit strong nostalgia and warmth.

[@n64glennplant]

And which creators that? 😉 jokes aside, I know what you mean. I too can get that same sense from certain channels I’ve been watching for years

[@iwaslego2505]

I’ve been waiting a long time for the return of the legend

[@josephcieplak8920]

I wish I could go back in time a re-experience those great memories and moments of my life once again. those were moments which unfortunately I didn't really appreciate as they deserved. nowadays, everyone has their face glued to a smartphone screen. the 90s were awesome!!

Being greeted with a KZbin review from Glenn feels reminiscent of the excitement of waking up on Christmas morning and discovering your beloved Nintendo 64 game thoughtfully wrapped beneath the tree.

@@n64glennplant Your reviews have had an immense impact on the Nintendo 64 and gaming community, more than you can possibly imagine. Your insights and expertise are highly valued, and your words have the power to shape opinions and inspire others. Don't underestimate the significance of your voice and the difference you make. You are a true gem in the gaming world, and your contributions are priceless.

[@n64glennplant]

@@JamesNGames thanks James, you know I was just watching Karl jobst video exposing the completionist for the scummy charity stuff and it made me realise just how many dodgy people there are but at the same time reading the comments it shows there’s actually a really good side to the community. This channels always been quite a positive space and community so it’s nice to see that after all these years it’s still that way even as we’re all getting older

[@JamesNGames]

@@n64glennplant Over the years, KZbin and the gaming community have become incredibly toxic. That's why I decided to step away from it myself all over a year ago. I didn't want to be a part of that negativity anymore. But I realized that the toxic people had gotten to me, and I needed to move forward. That's why I've made it my mission to spread positivity throughout the community. Someone has to be the light giver instead of casting shadows. When content deserves praise, and the creators put in so much love, effort, and craftsmanship, it's important to acknowledge and appreciate that. Even though I may not create content or be active on the internet much anymore, I am dedicated to being the person who lets others know how good they are and how much they are appreciated.

[@Nutty151]

I was always terrible at playing baseball in real life, don't think I would fare any better in the video game adaptations. However, this game looks relatively accessible with a reasonable learning curve. The graphics look pretty good too, I specially like the realistic 3-way shadows that the stadium lights cast on the baseball players!

[@n64glennplant]

Yeah the lighting is really some of the best for a sports title on the console

[@Nutty151]

@@n64glennplant I'm guessing since the whole game takes place inside a stadium, it wasn't very taxing on the hardware. That's why the Pokemon in Pokemon Stadium looks so good and are faithful to the original designs.

@@n64glennplant Exactly!

[@EvilApple567]

Just like you, I ended up with this game for a reason I can't remember (perhaps at a flea market early 2000s). The game did leave a lasting impression on my brothers and I due to the absurd custom characters you could create, as well as the fact that once you got good enough with power hits you could basically smack dingers on command. There was one game I remember my brother playing where he was up like 112-0 on the cpu in the 2nd inning before getting bored lol. The better experience with this game came from a year or two later when some jock traded us Super Smash Bros for it, what a deal that was. Come to think of it, this may have been the only sim baseball game we ever owned, and aside from Mario Superstar Baseball on the GC the only baseball game period. Didn't remember this was made by Iguana, they sure had an interesting run this era.

[@n64glennplant]

That’s the worst trade ever 😂😂😂

[@coolgreek79]

My mom bought ASB2K for my 5th birthday. Hell, I even still have the Box & everything, even though the Box has seen better days. I had fun with it but it was too difficult for 5 year old me to aim the hitting cursor in time for the pitch. I have all 3 ASB titles for N64 & they are quality games. Along with Ken Griffey Jr.'s Slugfest & Konami's Japanese-Exclusive N64 Powerful Pro Yakkyu Series, I highly recommend the All-Star Baseball games!

I'm getting old, I know I had a baseball game but it might have been a previous years release of this. Only played it occasionally. Talking sports games on the N64 generally: I had an early Madden game (again no idea which year) that was good fun as multiplayer. Used to play a lot of Wayne Gretzky (year 🤷‍♂️) enjoyed that for the fights! A Kobe Bryant basketball game that was pretty cool. Of the more "realistic" sports titles, International Superstars of Soccer 98 was definitely the most played. For years, Konami had the edge over EA in football, in my opinion, as not just the passing, tackling and shooting were superior, but the players "felt" as though they were running around a pitch, as opposed to FIFA, where the players seemed to almost glide, as though they were an inch off the surface. Maybe that's just me. My favourite N64 sports game... Mario Tennis. It looks like a Mario game, for the kids, but it is deceptively deep and as a multiplayer experience, I would put it on a par with Mario Kart. Also, big shout out to Mario Golf, another title that is far more complex than it initially looks.

[@n64glennplant]

Ah man iss98 was peak Konami for me, anyone who says pro evo era Konami can take a hike! 🤣

I enjoy a lot of video game versions of sports that I don't necessarily enjoy in real life. In video game form baseball, soccer, hockey, golf and tennis can be loads of fun - especially the Mario versions of those sports. I love football and NBA video games, as well, but I also enjoy watching those two sports. I've enjoyed sports games ever since I 1st played Baseball, Ice Hockey, Golf and Tecmo Bowl on the NES. The N64 and Gamecube made it even more fun where you could play 4 players without the use of a 3rd party add-on. 4 player Mario Tennis was always a lot of fun.

[@n64glennplant]

My first sports game I fell in love with was Mario Lemieux ice hockey on genesis!
