RBI Baseball/YMMV
- Contested Sequel: The third game gets this in certain circles. Is it a Surprisingly Improved Sequel or a game that's RBI Baseball In Name Only?
- Cult Classic: The first game is dearly regarded as one of the best NES baseball games.
- First Installment Wins: Commonly, when people hear RBI Baseball, they often think to the first one. The fact it has a very dedicated following and ROM Hack community to this day proves. Occasionally the third game may come up, but it's the first one.
- Fanon Discontinuity: What second RBI Baseball game?
- Game Breaker: In the first game, left-handed hitters were especially game-breaking. Heaven forbid if you're pitching to Reggie Jackson (California) or Darrell Evans (Detroit) and they get a good piece of the ball.
- Polished Port: Believe it or not, this game started off from the Arcade and moved onto the NES in November 1988, with a couple changes for the better. Unlike the Arcade version, the game continues if the computer gains the lead in 1-player games and the game continues in two-player mode if Player 1 scores ten runs. There's also no timer for pitch/substitution selections and the gameplay is more refined.
- The Scrappy: The Houston Astros in the first game are hated by a lot of people. With only Nolan Ryan and Glenn Davis as the only useful players on the team coupled with anemic offence, it's easy to see why they're disliked.
- Surprisingly Improved Sequel: In other fan circles, the third game is at least a lot better than the second RBI Baseball game.
