Play Soft Ball Heaven Online

Soft Ball Heaven was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, though it never saw a physical cartridge release in North America. It was developed by TOSE and published by Irem, arriving during the NES era when sports games were experimenting with simpler, more accessible takes on familiar concepts.

You control a team of fielders and a batter, working to hit the ball and then catch it before the opposing team can score. The main objective is to outscore the computer opponent through timed hits and quick defensive maneuvers. Signature mechanics include a swing timing bar for batting and direct control of fielders who automatically chase the ball once it's in play. The game moves at a brisk pace, and while not overly complex, mistiming a swing or fumbling a catch can quickly turn the score against you. It feels like a stripped down, almost toy-like version of baseball, where every hit is a small event and every error stings just enough to make you try again.
