The port is great and the game feels good, but the lack of saving your progress kill this game, since is nearly impossible to finish it all in one sitting. The original neo geo game had a memory card option, so there is not excuse to not include it here

Great little baseball game. But before buying be prepared to RAGE, cause game as arcade game was ment to take your coins. So winning in succesion isn't easy, well only if you spend your childhood playing it. But for me as huge baseball fan that never played this before it takes a lot out of me. It will stress you to the point of losing your mind, but that sweet WIN makes up for it every single time. The biggest …

WARNING: Before you buy this sensational classic title, Please keep in mind that the save feature is 100% absent from this version of the game. I genuinely have zero idea why SNK thought it was a cute idea to remove this extremely vital feature, As it can actually make it possible for most regular people to complete the game. Instead, If your going for the World Championship game, You're gonna need some tremendous …

Classic arcade baseball action. I never knew this game existed until the other day. Most fun I have had playing a baseball video game since Ken Griffey Jr. Slugfest on the Nintendo 64. A+

Critics, per Wikipedia
RePlay reported Baseball Stars 2 to be the sixteenth most-popular arcade game at the time. In Japan, Game Machine listed Baseball Stars 2 on their June 1, 1992 issue as being the eighth most-successful table arcade unit of the month. The Neo Geo version was critically acclaimed. The first issue of GameFan reviewed the Neo Geo version, with its two reviewers scoring it 99% and 97%; the former said it "is far and away the best sports game I have ever played" and the latter said the "graphics are incredibly well detailed" and "the gameplay is unparalleled". They concluded that it "has the best graphics, sound, and game play this side of ESPN". The NES version was less popular than the original…

positive · AI labelView post →I have fond memories of this game from my arcade-obsessed childhood, but it just doesn't hold up all these years later. The controls are a pain, the AI is brutal and specifically designed to screw you out of your quarters, and every match is just way too long. You can't save your progress, so it's just about impossible to complete a full campaign. I will say that the game still *looks* awesome to this day. The character sprites are big and have tons of personality. The animations are fluid and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh, wow this game came out when? 1992. Such an odd blur of memories swims around in my head; hanging out with the kids on my street after school, playing Wolfenstein 3D with my neighbor, watching Ren and Stimpy as often as I could. It is all one big flannel coated memory with Nirvana and Criss Cross songs in the background. Now, I never had a Neo-Geo or an NES. All I had was my Dad’s 486 that could barely play Alone in the Dark. Baseball Stars 2 was completely off my radar, I even had to check…

For the low, low price of "way-too-much-money-for-a-broken-port" you can own yourself a special copy of Baseball Stars 2! It's like the original but you randomly throw to the wrong base because DotEmu can't do anything right! And if you order between now and the rest of time, because we all know they will never fix it, they'll throw in some glitchy options menu that don't work absolutely free of charge! Good…

neutral · AI labelView post →A good poriton of this review will be singing the praises of the port of this game, more so than the game itself. Baseball Stars 2 is a solid, albeit basic, 16-bit baseball game. This version, however, is unique as it is more than a simple rom/emulator combo. The devs have taken the time to build a custom front-end menu. More importantly, they've actually changed the nature of the timer in the game. Normally, you will see the timer counting down. As this was originally an arcade game, you…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've played this game so much as a kid that it got me to love baseball. But the lack of ability to save your game means that you'll never get to earn certain achievements that require you to play all games in the league, unless you leave your game turned on like the old fashioned way. Despite this, I still have lots of fun with this game. I feel lucky to have run into this on Steam.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Literally the best sports game ever created
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At last, you can enjoy baseball without having to pay 18$ for a hot dog Note that there is no save-game feature
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Baseball Stars 2. Such a great comfort food kinda game! It's not MLB Slugfest, but those pitchers really deserve to get knocked out sometimes!
positive · AI labelView post →This morning I've been playing Baseball Stars 2 for the Neogeo. Probably one of the best baseball games ever made. Snappy, simple controls. Flashy presentation. Really cool vibes. Fantastic art and sound. Love it!
positive · AI labelView post →Baseball Stars 2 is another great #NES baseball game. It has a lot of the same greatness that part 1 had, but slightly better graphics. The teams seem to have a bit more parity too, with no clearly dominant "American Dreams" type team. You can still create and build. 8.5/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is SO AWFUL. It's impossible to hit the ball. Got it in a humble bundle, so it's not a huge loss, but still.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I haven't played Baseball Stars 2, but if a sports game played by regular humans on steroids is better than a sports game played by cyborgs out for blood, I should pay attention.
neutral · AI labelView post →My main issue is that this could be a better port. The character animations are cool and the game can be fun, but the lack of a save function really kills the career mode for me. There are some annoying quirks with running and fielding but I think I figured them out eventually (mostly). The Power Up system is neat but it feels a little too plentiful.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favorite things about #retrogaming is finding the random glitches and nonsense that just breaks games with old pieced-together coding - here's Baseball Stars 2. The 3rd baseman just launches the ball into space, softlocking the game. www.twitch.tv/videos/26730... #dadgamer #Big20

neutral · AI labelView post →Arcade Baseball games used to be a thing in the 90's. Funny enough now in 2024 ther are only TWO options: this great port of "BASEBALL STARS 2" or "Super MEGA BASEBALL". Pros: This is really a great port and makes fun for casual gaming. Cheap. Cons: no save games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really want to like this game. I love baseball and videogames and the screenshot which implies fighting game portions or something really sold the deal for getting this. But oh boy, so much wrong with this game. It looks great and basically its a good effort. But the controls are a pain, the AI is ruthless (and does impossible slides with no animation or anything (meaning they get a safe altough clearly not on base)) and there is no way to save progress in games or even inbetween games.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game sometimes runs slower than the original one, menu was redesigned and lost all its feel to the original one. Now Neo Geo X seems the only legal choice to play this title like the old times.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice story! Never played this, but sent me back to days of Dusty Diamonds All Star Softball on NES, or the wonderful Little League Baseball on NES that was built on the excellent gameplay of Baseball Stars 2. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/13/s...

Yesterday I found a partial manip, this morning I adjusted it, and…later today, at 6PM Eastern, I’ll stream the results. HOO BOY. It may not make the game CONSISTENT, but it’s still a doozy.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Classic 1980's style baseball. I thought it was corny when they first released on NES, definitely not for those who like the authenticity of MLB The Show or that of the 2K baseball series. We need another baseball game for PC, one that is worthy of being called an action sim. I can never purchase a stat crunching game, I like action, but autheentic action.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice little port that would be even nicer if there were some better quality of life features. In saying that, if you were a fan of this at the arcade, then you can't really complain. Just simple arcade baseball fun. Well worth the price, if you want a copy on your PC.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Baseball Stars 2, developed by SNK Corporation in collaboration with Dotemu and published by SNK, is a vibrant and unapologetically old-school baseball experience that captures the wild spirit of arcade sports gaming from the early 1990s. Originally released on the Neo Geo arcade system, this re-release on Steam preserves everything that made the original such a standout while adding just enough polish to make it accessible to modern players. It’s a game built around spectacle and energy rather…

Baseball Stars 2 and Super Baseball 2020 (it's basically a Blernsball video game, minus the mandatory steroids) are great just for the spectacle alone. All the heroes in Baseball Stars 2 look like they jumped off a package of Big League Chew, it's terrific.

neutral · AI labelView post →I never played that but looking at it now it looks like a blast. Baseball Stars 2 on Neo-Geo came to mind, which was a GREAT baseball game. I played a ton of that We need more goofy sports games to come back. Blitz. Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey. Robot baseball. Punchout.

If you're expecting an immersive MLB experience that mimics the smell of freshly mowed grass, the satisfying crack of the bat, and the nuanced strategies of a real game, then buddy, you've come to the wrong virtual stadium. This game is like if baseball decided to chug five energy drinks and then went to a comedy club. It's faster than a cheetah on rollerblades and filled with hilariously exaggerated…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I lost 16-0 using mouse and keyboard. If you play it I recommend you don't use a mouse and keyboard. As for things not relating to my lousy play I have to say that the graphics and presentation are awesome for what it is trying to do. As for any negatives well fielding is a bit basic and you kind of just need to let the AI almost handle it all itself. Also this isn't a real baseball sim and does not have real players and so you aren't going to get what you would from say Strat-O-Matic Baseball,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good ole arcade baseball game. Brings back memories. The achievements are a lil too hard or too much work for me, but still fun game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game so much! Arcade sports games are just the best sometimes! It's infuriating as all hell and the COM is almost certainly cheating but it's too addiciting not to reccomend.
