Ninja Baseball League-Man: Bases Loaded, a revival of Irem’s 1993 arcade beat-’em-up Ninja Baseball Bat Man, is coming to PS5 on December 10, according to Push Square.
A Bases Loaded crossover stage
The re-release will include a crossover stage inspired by Jaleco’s Bases Loaded sports game. Push Square reported that a new trailer confirms the stage, although no details have been shared about how it will play.
The PS5 release repurposes the original arcade game while adding several new features. These include a high-difficulty mode, additional minigames, and a rearranged soundtrack. The original arcade music will also be available as a selectable option.
Pink joins the playable roster
According to the game’s blurb, the League-Man team sets out to retrieve a stolen Golden Baseball Statue from the Baseball Hall of Fame. The action centers on chained combos, throw moves after grabbing opponents, and single-button special moves.
Pink, who was a support character in the original game, will be playable in the revival. The game is also described as presenting the action in full high definition.
