Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball is a sports game released in 1997 for the Game Boy platform. The title focuses on delivering a portable baseball experience, where players take control of teams competing in the major leagues. The primary objective is to lead a team through a season, aiming to win games and ultimately secure the championship.
The game features a moderate pace typical of handheld sports titles of its era, balancing between strategic pitching and batting moments. It incorporates a unique mechanic allowing players to control pitching speed and direction, as well as batting timing, which influences the in-game results. This mechanic adds depth beyond simple button presses, encouraging timing and precision.
One distinctive aspect of the game is the inclusion of real Major League Baseball teams and the endorsement of Ken Griffey Jr., providing authenticity uncommon in many handheld sports games at the time. The combination of team management and gameplay elements makes it a complete baseball experience on the Game Boy.
