Family Stadium

Famista[lower-alpha 1], originally known as Family Stadium, is a series of baseball video games developed and released by Namco in Japan, now known as Bandai Namco Entertainment. The first entry in the series, Pro Baseball: Family Stadium, was released for the Nintendo Family Computer in 1986 and later in North America as R.B.I. Baseball (subsequent games in this series would see various names used when exported to North America but none after 1992), with the series being released on numerous home consoles, the latest being Pro Baseball: Famista Evolution in 2018 for the Nintendo Switch. The series is considered a precursor to Namco's own World Stadium series of baseball games, released for arcades, PlayStation and GameCube. The series has been a commercial success since, with over 15 million copies being sold as of 2016.[1]

gollark: Among many other things!
gollark: I just want actual rectangular screens and no weird camera notches again!
gollark: I want a huge bezel. I dislike the rounded corners thing.
gollark: I don't like iOS. The aesthetic is just not something I enjoy (opinion, yes) and it's very uncustomizable/hostile to user control (pretty objective but you may not care about this).
gollark: Their top end does.
