Description
Previous Namco games in this series had a tie-in with Fuji TV baseball broadcasts and copied their branding: Necchuu Pro Yakyuu from 2002-2004 and Baseball Live in 2005. That partnership dissolved ahead of the Bandai Namco merger, so this game’s title is a legally distinct nod towards a previous title, combining the “Netsu” kanji with the “-sta” from Famista, Namco’s famous cartoon-styled baseball game series.
“Famista Mode” is introduced in this game, allowing players to use then-current NPB rosters in a recreation of the original Family Stadium for the Nintendo Famicom, which was released in North America as R.B.I. Baseball.
Roster
Rosters for each NPB team are included along with two All-Star rosters and the Namco Stars, a team of Namco video game characters.
