Play Kyuukyoku Harikiri Stadium '88 (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Kyuukyoku Harikiri Stadium '88 is one of those weirdly specific NES baseball games that feels like it was made for hardcore fans of Japanese baseball in the late '80s. The graphics are a slight step up from the original, but let's be real—it's still that classic NES blocky charm. You get updated rosters, which matters if you care about obscure players from that era.

At first glance, it plays like your typical baseball sim of the time: pick your team, swing for the fences, and hope your pixelated pitcher doesn't get rocked. But there's something oddly satisfying about how clunky the fielding controls are—like you're fighting the game itself just to catch a fly ball. If you're into retro sports games, this one's a fun little time capsule. Just don't expect anything revolutionary.
