About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>R.B.I. Baseball 4 is the fourth game in Atari/Tengen's series of baseball simulators, which originally began as a reskin of Namco's <a href="/family-stadium/3025-2497/" data-ref-id="3025-2497">Family Stadium</a> franchise. It is the first game in the series to be released solely for 16-bit systems, and the first to be Sega Genesis exclusive. Subsequent entries would use the release year instead, with the next game being <a href="/rbi-baseball-93/3030-28005/" data-ref-id="3030-28005">R.B.I. Baseball '93</a>.</p><p>Notably, this was the first game in the series to see a Japanese localization, however that version does not use its equivalent <a href="/nippon-professional-baseball/3015-6755/" data-ref-id="3015-6755">Nippon Professional Baseball</a> license. A Sega CD port was in development but was cancelled partway through.</p><p>Included with the new features introduced to R.B.I. Baseball 4 are a Home Run Derby mode and a mode called Game Breakers, where the player is placed in a demanding hypothetical scenario and must figure out how best to proceed.</p>
