Great Sluggers (グレートスラッガーズ, Gurēto Suraggāzu), the full Japanese name: Great Sluggers: New World Stadium (グレートスラッガーズ: ニューワールドスタジアム, Gurēto Suraggāzu: Nyū Wārudo Sutajiamu), is a baseball arcade game that was released by Namco in 1993, only in Japan; it was the first game to run upon the company's then-new NB-1 hardware, and the gameplay is largely similar to the System 2 era (1991-1993) of their own World Stadium series as both players must take control of two of twelve real-life Japanese baseball teams in the Central and Pacific Leagues, then select one of four stadiums for the match to take place in (two of which, the Dome and Kōshien, had been carried over from that World Stadium series, but the latter has been renamed to "Urban", and the other two, the Hillside and Kaihei Dome, were created specifically for this game).
