Overview
Super World Stadium '93 , is a baseball arcade game that was released by Namco in 1993 exclusively in Japan. It runs on Namco System 2 hardware, and is the seventh (and last NS2-era) title in the company's World Stadium series; like its predecessors, it used a Yamaha YM-2151 FM sound chip (for all its songs this time, as opposed to just the secondary ones) - but it used a C140 custom sound chip for its sound effects and speech (as opposed to a PSG and DAC). The Yokohama Taiyo Whales have also undergone a renaming, to "Yokohama Baystars".
As in the two previous titles, players must select one of twelve real teams (as mentioned above, one of them has undergone a renaming); they must then select one of the four stadiums for the match to take place in (Dome, Kōshien from the three NS1-era titles, Seaside, and Manhattan) before picking one of their chosen team's six pitchers (whose names will again be displayed in Kanji as opposed to Hiragana) - and both of your chosen teams' full 9-player lineups will then be displayed on the screen (again, in Kanji), before all eighteen players run out to take their positions on the field of your chosen stadium, for a seventh (and last, for players who favour the Kōshien and Manhattan Stadiums, time). At the start of the NB-1 era, the Dome Stadium was renamed to "Air Dome", possibly to avoid confusion with the new Kaihei Dome Stadium, and the Kōshien Stadium was renamed to "Urban"; they also featured advertisements for earlier Namco games.
