}}Namco ventured into a more realistic style of baseball game for the first time with '''''Necchuu! Pro Yakyuu 2002''''', an arcade and PlayStation 2 title set in NPB.
 
The game's title is licensed from Fuji Television's baseball broadcasts, which from 2002-2004 were titled "Necchuu! Pro Yakyuu." The first word in the title is a portmanteau of the word for heat/fever and the word for broadcast or relay.

Masaharu Miyake provided play-by-play commentary.  
This is the first realistic-styled game developed by Namco, released one year after the cartoon-styled ''World Stadium 5'' for the original PlayStation. Masaharu Miyake provided play-by-play commentary.
