Overview

Super World Stadium is a baseball game developed and released by Namco (Company) for arcades (using their System II hardware) on January 1991. The sequel to the original 1988-1990 entries of Pro Yakyuu World Stadium (Game) (itself a spin-off of the Family Stadium (Franchise) series), Super World Stadium features updated graphics and new teams. Several of these changes were brought into the Super Famicom as part of the Super Famista series. The game later received multiple revisions from 1992-1993, including Super World Stadium '92, Super World Stadium '92 Gekitou-ban, and Super World Stadium '93 Gekitou-ban. Each feature updated rosters, all of which are licensed directly from Nippon Professional Baseball (Concept). The "Gekitou-ban" versions also allows operators to enable "favored" teams, giving those teams less stamina penalties and more cheering.

Teams

All 12 teams (each based on a real-life Nippon Professional Baseball (Concept) team) from the previous game return, with some new changes:

Due to the Hankyu/Orix Braves becoming the Orix BlueWave, the "Bravos" became the "BlueArrows".
The "Hornets" became the "Homes" (after Sherlock Holmes (Character)).

Later revisions of the game change the teams to their NPB licensed counterparts, a first in the overall series.

Lionels / Seibu Lions
BlueArrows / Orix BlueWave
Buckaroos / Kintetsu Buffaloes
Fires / Nippon-Ham Fighters
Orients / Chiba-Lotte Marines
Homes / Fukuoka Daiei Hawks
Guiants / Yomiuri Giants
