Pennant Chase Baseball Preview Can't Post

Nintendo revealed it will publish a baseball video games title this spring. Nintendo said "Pennant Chase Baseball" will be out April 4 and will feature the voices of the Mariners' broadcasters, as well as current big-league players and ballparks.


The baseball video game market has become a complicated one in recent days, after the players' union signed a semi-exclusive licensing deal with Take-Two Interactive. The arrangement makes Take-Two the only independent publisher licensed to use player names and likenesses, though it also permits all of the various console manufacturers to continue with their own baseball games.



There were five big-league baseball titles in 2004 on the PS2 and four on the Xbox but only one on the GameCube, from Electronic Arts. The total market was relatively small though, with just 2.5 million units of baseball games sold in 2004, according to market researchers the NPD Group.
