Baseball Stars 2 (Intro)
1Bout presents: Baseball Stars 2 (Intro)
Baseball Stars 2 is a 2-player baseball sports arcade game released by SNK in 1992 for the Neo-Geo console. A less detailed console version was released for the NES by Romstar the same year.
The player can select from one of 18 teams across two leagues–exciting League (beginner) & Fighting League (expert).
It featured 18 teams across 2 leagues (Exciting League and Fighting League) and put more emphasis on the graphics and the gameplay; for example, being able to change pitchers or batters and powering up batters which increased the size of the bat.
Baseball Stars 2 for the Nintendo Entertainment System was distributed by Romstar in 1992. Changes made from the original Baseball Stars, released by SNK in 1989.
Players could still create leagues of up to 125 games (6 teams playing each other 25 teams) and view statistics such as League Standings, Average, Home Runs, Runs Batted In, Earned Run Average, Wins and Saves. Players could still fire players and upgrade them using the same 15-point system introduced in the original Baseball Stars. Players could also trade players among user-created teams. The game also contained a glitch that would keep the last pitcher listed on a team's roster from appearing in any of the league standings.

RePlay reported Baseball Stars 2 to be the sixteenth most-popular arcade game at the time. In Japan, Game Machine listed Baseball Stars 2 on their June 1, 1992 issue as being the eighth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.
The Neo Geo version was critically acclaimed. The first issue of GameFan reviewed the Neo Geo version, with its two reviewers scoring it 99% and 97%; the former said it 'is far and away the best sports game I have ever played' and the latter said the 'graphics are incredibly well detailed' and 'the gameplay is unparalleled'. They concluded that it 'has the best graphics, sound, and game play this side of ESPN'.
The NES version was less popular than the original Baseball Stars was on the NES. Reasons for this included the inability to change the name of a gamer-created team or names of the players on a gamer-created team, and unimproved graphics over the original. A Nintendo Power review wrote that "Baseball Stars 2 is such a complete rehash that if you already own the original, it is not worth your money to get this game".
The game was included in the SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 compilation by SNK Playmore for PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable and Wii, released on 2008.
The Neo Geo version was re-released for Wii by D4 Enterprise via the Virtual Console in Japan on October 30, 2007, in PAL regions on November 30, and in North America on December 10.
SNK Playmore released ports for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable developed by M2 on August 25, 2011 on PlayStation Network via NEOGEO Station in Japan and North America on July 19, and in PAL regions on August 24.
A port for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux and asm.js developed by DotEmu was released by SNK Playmore as part of the Humble NEOGEO 25th Anniversary Bundle on December 8, 2015. It was released on Steam on April 27, 2016 and on GOG .com on May 30, 2017.
