These random games have been a blast. Let me know if you have any recommendations for what I should play!

[@hovtchil873]

I'd love to see you play Mario super sluggers on the wii if you haven't

[@siquandaniels4526]

Play the bigs 2

[@jacobmatthew23]

Start a jak and dexter series? Or bring back that mlb series with that ugly dude😂😂

[@jordans9673]

NHL Hitz Pro

[@Atf13311]

Super mega baseball extra innings is super funny you should try it 😂

[@michaelnapoles4277]

My dad bought me this game when it came out. I was 13. We played this for hours. How he managed to have the energy to work two jobs and be present every day amazes me. I’m a dad now and am only beginning to realize how incredible he really was. I miss him every day. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!

[@AaronVillalobos]

He was a real one doing what he had to do 💯 Rip to hom bro 🙏🏼

[@PatrickdaStarr]

Sorry for your loss. This game takes me back to the good days.

[@almostkinda]

Missing mine too. He was gone when I turned 14. He was a hell of a man.

[@Gady1986]

That was a real man that every child doesn't realize they need in there lives

[@PoisondBacon]

I feel that. My dad had his issues but always made sure to be a dad first. We never knew everything he had going on until we got older. That’s a real man.

[@CLStudiosINC]

I’m begging for a season mode on this game. It was a huge part of my childhood and it’s funnier than hell

[@rellim8820]

this!!!

[@pandahammonds9590]

YES THIS

[@rolltideroll8458]

I 3rd this!!

[@danielettorre1239]

4th this!

[@dizzy3683]

YES 🎉🎉

[@woodsyjones]

This, NFL Blitz, and NHL Hits are straight up classics

[@NTE_]

Do you have a recommendation for which versions/year I should play on the channel?

[@poserowned72]

NHL Hitz 2003 is goated

[@woodsyjones]

@@NTE_ I’d say 2003 for all of them 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@TjByrd9]

I can also confirm the goating of NHL Hitz 2003. Would love to see more NHL games on the channel for sure and that’s a great place to start

[@tallblondeks4603]

[@Godzeller3143]

I remember playing slug fest 2004. That was nuts. Beaning too much could lead to the batter catching on fire and charging the mound, the pitcher could win the fight leading to him catching on fire. I got an infield hit one time (which perfectly mirrored how I played baseball irl) and my friends were like “of course you would manage that in this game.” Freaking masterpiece

[@brettkilian9855]

Okay, than I’m not going crazy. I was waiting for the batter to charge the mound cause I 100% remember that

[@Godzeller3143]

@@brettkilian9855 yup, it was the 2004 version that did all that. Jim Edmonds was on the cover

[@iGaveLiaHIV]

oh ok cuz i was so disappointed he didn’t get that to happen in this game

[@CombatDuck1876]

This game was so funny to me as a kid, the fact that you could fight guys on the bases and the commentators said crude things was too good.

[@jozhfy]

sounds like it will get cancelled in todays gen

[@johnstover4584]

It's fun pitching in this game.

[@TheKooperDon]

I’m not even done with this video but you really should make this a series. I’ll like every single video if you need it but holy crap this is funny.

[@nicksix3782]

I don’t wanna see more games like this, I wanna see this game more

[@skinerd0001]

They need to bring commentary like this back into the games. Legendary

[@TheOFWGKTADGAFBB]

I’m saying the show would print money if they had commentary like this

[@SlayerMathis]

Really captures the essence of baseball commentary. They’ll just talk about the most random shit and it’s fantastic

[@scatered1]

JACKED that out!

[@sirschmoppy]

Would love a “the Bigs” series. Loved those games as a kid

[@SNOWDUDE13]

They need to be remastered.

[@CaseyWinehouse]

Your new editor is next level. Took what made your channel fun and cranked up the crazy a couple notches. I remember when you put that notice out. It seems you found the right person for the job the first time. So shoutout to you, them, and the whole organization.

[@Eli_Kahle27]

Petition to make this a series

[@cosmicsquirrel3702]

Damn straight

[@Milk_Locked]

So true

[@jtagg16]

I lost my twin brother a few years ago and we would always play this game growing up. Thanks for the wild nostalgia trip

[@wizardoferror9942]

I’m pleased that you are playing this game! It’s worth mentioning that the commentators are Tim Kitzrow (of NBA Jam and NFL Blitz fame) and radio personality Kevin Matthews (as his Jim Shorts alter ego).

[@TheCapDan42]

I just had a core childhood memory unlocked when watching this. Now I’m all nostalgic.

[@Dantheman3366]

the commentary is my childhood. this game is fantastic, I love that they actually experimented and just put these games out too.

[@TheBluePhenom]

As a native Pittsburgher, the nostalgic looking at that lineup had me in all the feels. Some of those players were fan favorites... As someone who enjoyed pitching in this game, the beam came in CLUTCH when seeing certain players 😂😂 I don't think I ever pitched to a good 5% of the players in this game 😅

[@officialdiarbekirian]

Those from this generation are so lucky to have grown up in the golden age of sports gaming. We had this and games like MVP at the same time.

[@supachef_dmoney_4]

As a baseball and Midway fanatic, the MLB Slugfest series is one of the best things ever created.

[@ihaveskillissue69]

I love how you used Tekken health bars but used the PERFECT from Street Fighter 4. Matching that chaotic energy of this game.

[@fadedneonzzz9259]

I loved MLB Sluggfest 2006, I wish Midway still made sports games

[@realamericannegro977]

I miss Midway i hope somebody buys them and resurrect the company

[@codycigar6542]

Midway suffered the same fate as poor Monolith and became eaten alive by Warner Bros.

[@RandomGuy42016]

This is my favorite baseball game of all time. Being able to punch the first baseman so he drops the ball, the power ups, and the commentary was gold.

[@discgolfwes]

lmao the health bars followed by the PERFECT was a great touch

[@kevinwagner7333]

I'm old and it's rad watching people discover these games that I loved so much. I still play slugfest, hitz, and blitz pretty regularly with hitz being my favorite

[@pandahammonds9590]

Make this a series!! You’ve struck gold with this one.

[@heiththetristarand2stupiddogs]

Try To Recreate The Cluckers In This Game To Do The Challenge

[@jacob4189]

The Cluckers were legendary

[@Mike0193Azul]

Loved the gameplay and commentary in this game. They don’t make them like they used to. Also had ‘cheat codes’ to play as animals and you can also play unique stadiums such as underwater in Atlantis

[@zay222True]

I Never heard this game BUT I LOVE IT

[@tischish8452]

This is a game I definitely want remastered or brought back. I remember when I was a kid, my youth baseball team went to our state tournament and I brought this game to our hotel. Everyone on the team was taking turns playing, it was such a blast.

[@nicks2465]

This game was a staple in my neighborhood. We also used to beat each other up on the bases and always loved getting players caught on fire

[@WeronMedia]

Midway sports games were always the best of the bunch for the pure shenanigans

[@dukedeguerre]

Of all the crazy shit in this game, giving Mo Vaughn a 7 speed might just be the craziest

[@exactinmidget92]

all the Midways sport games are insane. you got Blitz, Slugfest, Redcard and NHL Hitz.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

Jam/Hangtime/Showtime too for NBA

[@iNineteen]

One of the best parts was the random codes before the game. Unlimited turbo, secret ballparks and my favorite.. tiny heads on all the players lol.

[@KimberlyFlores-sy7rb]

Mortal Kombat characters Sub Zero n Scorpion

[@howiemoore]

you playing these games def got me into your channel keep it up, trying to remember the name of all the wild arcade baseball games i played on pc growing up

[@joeyteter9383]

This was a favorite of mine growing up. This game is an absolute blast

[@skinsboi4life]

This game was one of my favorites growing up. There are tons of special unlockable characters like sub zero and scorpion from Mortal Kombat

[@daviddonnell2153]

I’d spent hours on this with friends, the fun times we had with this amazing baseball game. I wish they would rerelease this on modern consoles

[@RexEvilMan4]

That “welcome back to the memes” is sooo iconic

[@slipknotman366100227]

Would love to see more Slugfest. Such a great game.

[@DEATHSlEGE]

This, Blitz, and Hitz were great games. So much fun.

[@lj2official882]

Hitz was fire

[@ZackryRose]

I LOVED the Slugfest series. It was so much freaking fun! Wish they'd bring something like that back as that arcade gameplay was legendary. The Bigs was the closest we got for that type of game and I also loved that game too.

[@Johnnydubz217]

Very accurate Mets moment when you left the bases loaded and got no runs

[@ericbogar9665]

I played this game for a long time. It was so over the top and the best commentary ever to me. I didn't mind the repeating phrases either.

[@mohrs9165]

We need a series on this! Loved this game as a kid

[@MrQuasarPhil]

As much as I love the NCAA/long play series you really sound like you've been having a blast the last few weeks man, keep it up 👏

[@tylerthomas9947]

It will never happen but I would love a remake (hell even a remaster) of this game 😅 this game was my childhood!

[@Chicago1234ish]

This game brought back so many memories

[@samguzman6787]

I need more of this

[@frosty2182]

baseballs answer to NBA Jam and NFL Blitz... so good

[@Batstone22]

If you get the controls down, this game can be so fun & you can make some really entertaining plays. I remember playing it & you can unlock Rocket Park, the Roman Coliseum, & others, plus make turbo dives where you catch a fly ball & turbo throw it back in, all in one motion, crazy good stuff. Thanks for this video!

[@inflameslp311]

I was really hoping to see you bean somebody and them get mad and charge the mound. This has to have been one of my favorite games of all time.

[@cobracommander6420]

11:33 I like how the dude has the flap on the wrong side 😂😅

[@BigCountry13]

This game brings back all the nostalgia. I remember the best parts were after the play you could tackle people

[@shea5287]

Slugfest, blitz, Hitz, NBA and NFL street, the Def Jam fighting series.. man those were the days

[@caseysenecal8054]

Slugfest 20-04 was my absolute favorite game for awhile when I was younger

[@Rastafarianinja]

Slugfest, NHL Hitz, Blitz, NBA Showtime on NBC, we had some really great sports games back in the day

[@cypher300]

Loving the new variable content!!

[@davidlogan9146]

Absolutely need a little series on this game.

[@Dr.Frankensteen]

Loved playing this game along with NFL Blitz and NHL Hitz. Such fun

[@ITSAHMEJAMARIO]

"Go Home Go Home .......Go Back" lol man I miss this game

[@calebcalloway186]

You just unlocked a core memory I didn’t know I had

[@Equivalate]

The commentary in these games always had me rolling when I was growing up.

[@jordandr.j4789]

I played Slugfest 06 on the ps2 when I was a kid, I loved the game… and in that one I remember if someone got hit, the hitter would charge the mound and there’d be a fist fight between pitcher and hitter, awesome game tbh

[@rolltideroll8458]

Please make this a series!!

[@TheNamesRyan]

Midway made some of the best sports games ever to exist. NFL Blitz, NBA Jam, even the hockey sequel NHL Hitz is just as chaotic. Hilarious commentators, good looking women, and enough insanity to keep you entertained. It's how games should be.

[@jay2537]

OMG I NEVER THOUGHT ID SEE THE DAY!! NTE HAS MADE MY LIFE COMPLETE

[@borgysbad1557]

This is the same announcer on NHL hitz I absolutely loved that game and this brought back so many memories

[@andrewswann2383]

As series of this game is NEEDED

[@situatedstokes89]

Midway really was making bangers slugfest, blitz, nba jam/hangtime

[@TheOFWGKTADGAFBB]

We need a season of this badly

[@j.c2927]

Loved playing this game growing up

[@Tjdsoeed]

This was countless memories for me and my brothers. This and blitz were true arcade sports

[@tagdaran8831]

More slugfest would be awesome!! I remember playing it growing up!

[@nbctheoffice]

You just unlocked a core childhood memory, my dude.

[@evan9536]

These videos of the wacky 2000’s games are awesome!

[@caseyhayward8094]

this was the very first game i ever owned on my original xbox that my parents bought me when we moved houses. i played the hell out of this game it was absolutely amazing, best baseball game of all time when it comes to arcade gameplay

[@vigilantejusticevid]

this was one of the first games I ever owned, on PS2. Amazing memories, I remember intentionally beaning batters until they lit on fire and charged the mound.

[@nathanstruble2177]

This was the best thing I have seen in a while

[@mikeymclachlan9506]

This is awesome. Never played this before but now I need to. Reminds me alot of NFL Blita with the bone shattering over the top xray tackles

[@alexanderdeloera3442]

Me and my cousin and friends would have heated hours of game time wit this master piece. The commentary was the best part

[@superawesomewyatt]

You should definitely look into playing one of The Bigs games!! There are two, very arcadey and fun. Lots of fun stuff to happen in them with turbo, bean balls, etc

[@dreskywalker]

Ok this game is BRILLIANT! We need more like this, just comical but still things you love, that’s old school video games. Just madness for the sake of it, no rhyme or reason, just a good time!

[@hlcn6266]

OMG this takes me back!!! Love it

[@toiletsnakegaming]

This game still looks great at 20 years old.

[@shaymerten173]

One of my favorite games of all time. Old midway arcade style console games was peak childhood

[@zaneseibert]

Man I wish someone would make Midway-style sports games. The over the top presentation is sorely missed.

[@roanoke42]

Hey it's Tim Kitzrow. Makes sense he's commentating in this game, I'm pretty sure he was in all the violent midway arcade style sports games. Also in Mutant Football League.

[@risboturbide9396]

I was hoping for a Montreal Expos mention... Thank you! I miss them.

[@cobracommander6420]

The production meeting for this game had to be “NFL BLITZ: But Baseball!” 😂😅

[@Treyg94]

The game ive been waiting for!

[@Tyhar93]

Not even a sports guy but Slugfest was one of my favorite games as a kid. I would keep beaning on purpose in hopes of getting the animation of the batter going on fire and charging the mound to beat tf out of the pitcher 😂

[@coreykelley9441]

One of my favorite games from that era. I miss it.

[@walkerbarry8541]

THIS IS THE WAY I NEED IT TO BE

[@lobsterlarry6481]

Least violent game of slugfest I’ve ever seen haha

[@temet.nosce.]

Because of the lack of deets, if you're curious about the game... he's playing this on PS2, GameCube or Xbox. Plays like the 'NFL Blitz' series that released on N64 in 1997 by the Arcade giant, 'Midway' Games, the same company who made these MLB Slugfest games - Midway is also known for Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam.

[@isaiahpinto4798]

As a major fan of this game. I have played all the Slugfest games and 2004 is undeniably the best.

[@tristanburgos1]

Literally my favorite baseball video game ever

[@trebel3603]

use to play this game with my brothers all the time such a great game and such great memories
