Game of the Day - Ninja Baseball Bat Man

Believe it or not, Ninja Baseball Bat Man is far more absurd than its title.  Some people know and love this game, some know it and don't and lots have never played because they pass it over from the sound of the title and the pics online. I know I did for a while.  It's a platform/beat-'em-up with some of the craziest graphics and theme you'll ever see.  They took the title literally.  You are a baseball player (albeit robotic) and a ninja, and you beat the crap out of baseball themed enemies and any other crazy thing the programmers felt like in locations all over the world.

But don't make the mistake of writing the game off for its goofiness.   It's a ton of fun.  The graphics are sharp, super bright and imaginative and make me laugh more than any other platformer I can think of.  Some of the enemies are gigantic and most are smiling at you.  More importantly, the action is better and way less repetitive than most beat-'em-ups.  The moves and special moves you get from simple controls are plentiful.  And the sprinkling of items around to use to throw at enemies and blow them up are ample and fun.  There is always something new to look at, pick up, beat up or escape from.  They even tried to be a little different with the soundtrack - although I think they missed the mark with it.  They at least get points for being creative, despite some of the annoying sounds.

You may not like it as much as I do when you play it, but you will have to admit it was fresh in its day.  I think its a good time.
