Old school gamers almost have to remember R.B.I. Baseball, the amazingly fun series of games dating back to the NES. Some big news popped up late last night telling of the return of this series in the spring to both current and next-gen consoles, as well as mobile devices with R.B.I. Baseball 14.
Eric Fisher of SportsBusiness Journal took to his Twitter page to reveal that the series would be making it’s triumphant return in a matter of months.
MLBAM reviving RBI Baseball video game franchise, will release RBI Baseball 14 for current/next gen gaming consoles and mobile
The revival of RBI Baseball by MLBAM presumably brings baseball back to Microsoft platforms after demise of MLB 2K franchise
RBI Baseball will be first game MLBAM has made for gaming consoles. Release in the spring. No other details yet re price, etc
The fact that the game is coming from MLB Advanced Media is a good sign as R.B.I Baseball was the first game ever to be licensed by the Major League Baseball Player’s Association, which allowed the use of real names, something never seen in a baseball game before to that point.
