''Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball'' received a video game review in ''The New York Times'', marveling over its unique diegetic price structure. The headline “Where Winners Play, and Losers Pay” implies that you have to be good at the game in order to pay the minimum amount for each minigame, but that’s misleading. The Shop mode dialogue puzzles are very simple, and you only have to beat a very small percentage of the minigame challenges in order to unlock everything. The main obstacle is being willing to spend ~$20 and repeatedly navigate the laborious 3DS store checkout process.

Oh right, the minigames. There are ten different in-fiction video games, all baseball-themed. None are so detailed as to involve playing a full game of baseball. They all focus on parts of baseball, like hitting, pitching, fielding, or even making a bat. The minigames are split into challenge levels and high-score derbies. In the challenge levels, you have a defined goal, like hit five home runs without a swing and miss. The high score derbies test your skills, giving you a grade rating and high score to try and play again and again to improve. Getting an A or above in a high score derby unlocks a new outfit for your Mii to wear in the game.
