If you've been clamouring for a bit of baseball action on your Switch then you'll no doubt welcome the news that Super Mega Baseball 2: Ultimate Edition is set to slide on to the Switch next week on 25th July for $29.99.
The Ultimate Edition on the Switch includes the complete set of Super Mega Baseball 2 content, fully-featured online play, and even runs in glorious 60 fps in both docked and handheld modes.
It's all sounding like a great package for baseball fans, more from the press release:
Whether a rookie or baseball purist, Super Mega Baseball 2: Ultimate Edition packs a mode for everyone. Compete in ranked Pennant Race mode (1v1), dominate friends in arranged matches (1v1, 2v1, 2v2), or take on the AI (solo, local co-op, online co-op) - all kept fair by Ego, the genre's most flexible difficulty system.
The Ultimate Edition will also arrive on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam as a new bundle for $29.99 USD, alongside a price reduction of the base version and its DLCs.
“We’ve thought for a long time that Super Mega Baseball 2 would be a fantastic fit for the Switch and our community has told us the same,” said Metalhead Co-Founder Scott Drader. “We’re hyped to finally reveal that Nintendo users will soon have their hands on it.”
Super Mega Baseball 2 received numerous “Sports Game of the Year” nods last year and comes to the Nintendo Switch with no compromises:
- Fully featured online play including cooperative season play and competitive cross-platform matchmaking via the game’s Pennant Race mode.
- 60 fps gameplay in both docked and handheld modes.
- Single Joy-Con support for intense shared screen head-to-head and cooperative play.
- Includes all content previously released as DLC on other platforms.

Well, I'll be. One of my work mates keeps asking me if I have a baseball game for my switch and I didn't want to break down and buy the RBI games just yet. Most likely this will definitely be my first baseball related game on switch. Seems pretty solid if it does transition well to the console.
Anything’s better than RBI Baseball.
Is it truely Mega if it needed further ultimateness?
Played the first Super Mega Baseball. Pretty solid mechanics, particularly in terms of pitching and hitting.
I’m not much of a sports person, but found the game lots of fun. Heard the sequel was even better, but haven’t tried it.
@Desa probably it will be my first too. Looks pretty fun, and I always have wanted to understand something about baseball.
Given the lack of competition on Switch (just a couple of NEOGEO classics and some not so classic RBI games) this is a no brainer. Expected an announcement way back, but the dev said they were small and so had to take their time to release on multiple systems. Good to see they're now bringing it to Switch.
Thank you!! I was so close to compromising and getting RBI Baseball.
I love this year's RBI (play it before you hate it - it's actually good this year).
That said, this is a day one pickup for me - Super excited!
This kind of support brings a tear to my eye.
Any news on a European release?
Does this have real MLB TEAMS and players?
LOVE the concept of arcade baseball with fast action and a fair amount of realism. Wonder if there is player/team customization a la Baseball Stars on the NES (which IMHO still remains the GOLD standard for home console baseball games after all these years)....
...answering my own question:
"Edit player names, appearance, gear, animations and skills
Customize team names, logos, and uniforms"
THIS SOUNDS AWESOME!!!!
Yo this game womps! I played a lot on Xbox One and I'm pumped to have it on Switch. Super solid arcade baseball game. Reminds me of MVP 2005.
@SWAMPFOOT I second this question...
@SWAMPFOOT I doubt it based on the screen shots. It's an indie game and the licensing fees to get those team logos and players in the game + royalties would wipe the dev out.
@SWAMPFOOT No it does not.
I’ve been looking for a good baseball game on my Switch. So I might pick this up.
That is a baseball game for people who do not actually follow MLB.
The Switch has nothing else, but no idea why this is being released on PS4.
Been waiting for this game to come to Switch, hyped!!
Baseball Stars 2 is a bargain and still holds up well today.
It sounds close to but is probably not a match for Super Ultra Baseball (or Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 for SNES).
Now that one explained its Ultra-ness with power-ups like triple-shot balls. Does this game have it?
Really enjoyed the 1st one on PS4. Glad I've held off on buying RBI. I'll grab this instead..
This game is actually really really good. Have it on PS4 but will double dip for portability
I’ll be picking this up for sure
absolutely fantastic game, surprising depth in terms of gameplay and the creation suite. a day one buy.
The animations seem a bit stiff, but otherwise it might be nice to have a baseball game that won't have out-of-date rosters almost right away.
1080P please?
Is like to see some actual Switch footage/images please
Just give us a "Bad News Baseball" remake, making every other baseball game redundant!
I completely recommend this game. A lot of customization, Scalable difficulty, and fun similar to the old NEO-GEO, NES, and SNES way. I think it’s worth it.
I've been needing arcade-style baseball on my Switch and this sounds good for now until some Super Mario baseball comes along. No hard copy? ⚾🙋
