R.B.I. Baseball 14 developer wants to re-create the feel of the 8-bit original

Major League Baseball is a game developer now. For its first console release, it is looking to recapture a beloved classic.

MLB Advance Media, the league’s internal development studio (it made MLB.com and a few mobile titles), is working on R.B.I. Baseball 14. This is a reboot of the 1986 Namco classic for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This time around, the game is due to launch as a digital download for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, iOS, and Android. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions will debut soon after, but MLBAM did not provide a release date or price for any of the platforms.
