Trivia / Ninja Baseball Bat Man

• Acclaimed Flop: Despite the arcade game receiving many positive reviews from critics and becoming a top arcade hit in Japan, it sold poorly in other countries, especially North America. Drew Maniscalco (National Sales Manager in IREM America) was disappointed with the efforts in the US office, as only 50 conversion kits were sold in North America^note The same fate also befell another Irem game, Undercover Cops.
• Colbert Bump: The Angry Video Game Nerd's coverage of this game in mid 2011 boosted its popularity. It helps that, unlike many games he reviews, he liked it.
