World Series Baseball 2K1 (Dreamcast) (US)
World Series Baseball 2K1 was developed by Wow Entertainment and published by Sega for the Dreamcast under the Sega Sports banner. It was the first baseball game in Segas 2K series.
Wow Entertainment was a Japanese game developer that worked in-house at Sega and was headed by Rikiya Nakagawa. Rikiya and his team at Wow Entertainment developed titles like Dynamite Cop, Sega GT and the strange Typing of the Dead. Their very last game was The House of the Dead III in 2003.
Since World Series Baseball 2K1 was adapted from the arcade system NAOMI's game Super Major League its visuals were well ahead of any other baseball game at the time. Unfortunately, a lack of features, bad audio presentation, and major gameplay flaws meant that WSB2K1 was not well received by critics despite its graphics.
After the failure of World Series Baseball 2K1, Sega decided to bring Visual Concepts (the developer behind the Dreamcast's very successful NBA 2K and NFL 2K series) in for the next version of the game. The result was World Series Baseball 2K2, that is commonly considered a major improvement over WSB2K1.
