Super Mega Baseball is a video game developed by independent studio Metalhead Software in Victoria, BC, Canada.[1] It was first released on December 16, 2014 as a PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 cross-buy title on the US PlayStation Store.[2] It was released on the European PlayStation Store on April 1, 2015.[3] An updated version called Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings was released on Xbox One on August 14, 2015 and it was released on Steam for PC on August 21, 2015.[4] The extra features from this version were released as free DLC for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in 2016. Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings was released on SHIELD on March 24, 2016.[5]
The game was a critical success, earning an average score of 85/100 on Metacritic, based on 14 reviews.[6] Gaming-Age gave the game a grade of "A," saying that "Because really, Super Mega Baseball is the sort of fun, easy to pick up diversion that video game baseball was at the very beginning of its lifespan — and if it's as great as it is here, there's every reason to believe it can still fulfill that function."[7] IGN, meanwhile, gave the game an 8.1 "Great" rating, praising the game's sense of humor and easy pick-up-and-play gameplay, but criticising its presentation.[8] It was named "Sports Game Of The Year" by Polygon.[9]
