    INTRODUCTION
o---------------------o

I don't know if they do this in actual high school baseball games but I do know
that in anime high school baseball games, you will see of the members of the
student body in the audience beating on the gong or on the drums whenever the
action gets lively just like when you go to a soccer/football game, you will see
people with their noisemakers throughout the match. Reason I brought that up is
because Nekkyu Koshien acts like an anime High School baseball game in fact, the
name of the game translates to High School Fastball (Smoking Pitch).

        STORY
o---------------------o

You choose a high school baseball team to play with and try to defeat the other
team in the best of 9+ innings where you got to get the most runs.

o---------------------o
       CONTROLS
o---------------------o

Offense
-------
D-pad = move batter left or right.
Button 1 = Use with base direction to get extra base or steal base while at bat.
Button 2 = Swing bat

Defense
-------
D-pad = move closest offensive player to the ball/alter pitch flight.
Button 1 = pick off attempt/jump for hit ball
Button 2 = pitch/throw ball at base direction/dive for hit ball


o---------------------o
      GAMEPLAY
o---------------------o

When you start the game you choose whether you want to play a 1-player game or
a 2-player game then choose the difficulty level of play.

Play as 1 of 49 high school teams all across Japan. Afterwards, choose a team
name which can use hirigana or romaji (alphabet). Depending on the team, you'll
randomly be chosen as either the away team or the home team.

-Just like in real baseball, the away team is always the first to go at bat.

-The home team will almost always be the last at bat in the game but the only
exception is that if the home team is leading by the time the away team gets 3
outs in the 9th inning, then home team will win on the spot. Likewise, if the
home team takes the lead in the bottom of the 9th inning or any extra innings
then the game is over immediately without needing to get 3 outs and the home
team wins.

-Speaking of extra innings, you will play them if the game is tied after the
home team fails to win at the end of the 9th inning. The game will end if the
away team takes the lead and the home team fails to tie the game or if the home
team takes the lead outright.

-There is a hidden menu accessed by pressing left, right, left, right, right at
the game select screen then choose the game. This will bring up three options
that make the game easier. You will notice that the CPU players play like they
belong in Little League. Always dropping balls or forgetting to catch balls
that are easily caught.

-An out is recorded if a flyball is caught (pop out), three strikes are called
(Strikeout), a defense player touches a runner in motion if they have the ball
(tag out), the runner fails to make it to base in time and the defense player
touches the base whether the ball was hit on the ground or caught in the air.
(groundout or forceout). You can also strike out if the bunt fouls and you got
two strikes already. A normal foul will not result in a strike out.

-In that fact, if a batter pops out or fouls out (pop out in foul territory),
all runners on base must return to their previous base or they will be called
out. However, if they return to the base, they are free to run to the next base
if they are gutsy enough. Most runner do this if they are on third base and the
batter flies out close to the wall.

-A strike is called if the ball is thrown and it crosses home plate but it will
become a ball if the ball was too low or bounced to the plate. You also get a
ball if it didn't cross home plate. You can get a strike if you swing and miss
regardless of the ball position. Even if you take a practice swing before the
pitch, the pitch will be a strike regardless if you don't swing at it. Four
balls will result in a free base. A free base is awarded if the batter is hit
by a pitch.

-It is possible to get a hit on a ball that bounced. If it bounces, wait for it
to get high enough and then swing at it. If an air ball crosses the blue line
then it's a homerun. If it bounces before hitting the line then it will bounce
back into play. Bad physics at play here to be honest.

-Another gutsy move is stealing bases, run for it when the pitch is out and hope
you can make it successfully.

-Regardless of if you win or if or lose, you will return to the Sega screen when
the celebration (winning) is over or finish wallowing in defeat (losing).

-When running the bases, successfully getting a base hit is called a Single, get
two bases and it's a Double. Three bases nets you a Triple. If you manage to go
through all four bases without getting an out, it's an infield homerun and that
is rare but very easy in the easy modes.
