Exclusive new GCN baseball title coming April 4th!
Nintendo has announced Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball, a GameCube-exclusive baseball title developed by Exile Interactive and Nintendo. It will be released April 4th to coincide with the beginning of the baseball season, so it's obviously been in development for a while.
Pennant Chase Baseball will feature three different licenses: Major League Baseball Properties, the Major League Baseball Player's Association, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. What this means is that NPCB will feature all of the real MLB teams, players and their statistics (courtesy of STATS, Inc.), as well as all 30 ballparks and some ballparks of the past. In-game commentary will feature former Arizona Diamondbacks manager Bob Brenly, and (surprise, surprise) Seattle Mariners broadcasters Rick Rizzs and Tom Hutyler.
Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz will grace the cover of the game, which is sure to be a hot item once baseball season rolls around.
