Griffey Slugfest Nintendo 64 Mini FAQ 7/16/99 Version 1.2 Written By: The Crippler cripplerx@hotmail.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Griffey Jr. Slugfest ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sections ----------- 1) Updates 2) Playing 3) Game Modes 4) Codes 5) Review 6) Credits 7) Legal Info ------------ ----------------------- 1) Updates ----------------------- 7/16/99 Version 1.2 I updated every section of this Mini FAQ. 6/17/99 Version 1.1 I added a review sent in by a friend of mine. See the review section to read it. 6/8/99 Version 1.0 Welcome. I have decided to write this FAQ as a sequel to my original "Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball" FAQ written a few months ago. I think that Slugfest isn't quite the game that the first one was, but it is still a fun sports game to play. ----------------------- 2) Playing ----------------------- Pitching Pitching is extremely easy. At the beginning of the game, you'll see a box that displays which pitches your pitcher can throw, along with which buttons you press to do so. You can then change the location of the pitch by moving the box inside the blue square. Anything in the blue square will be a strike; anything out of the blue box will be a ball. Hitting Hitting becomes harder in this game. Instead of a circle to follow the pitch with, you get this weird-shaped blue box with a power point on it. If you hit the ball right on the power point (which is marked with a + sign) you will get a solid hit. Otherwise, you'll swing and miss or get a lousy hit. Fielding Fielding is the easiest aspect of the game. On a ground ball, you run to pick it up (analog stick) and press the C button that corresponds with the base you wish to throw to: C-Down: Home Plate C-Right: First Base C-Up: Second Base C-Left: Third Base Just think of a baseball diamond: Second Base (C-Up) /\ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ Third Base (C-Left) \ / First Base (C-Right) \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \/ Home Plate (C-Down) Diving plays will require you to hit A+Any C-Button. You can use this as an infielder to dive for a ball going into the outfield, or as an outfielder to jump for balls going over the fence. ----------------------- 3) Game Modes ----------------------- -Exhibition -Season -Homerun Derby -Create A Player -World Series -Playoffs -Simulation ----------------------- 4) Codes ----------------------- Special thanks to N64 Underground for these.

(stinger2307@yahoo.com) I have his permission to use it. When MLB with Ken Griffey Jr. first came out (I'm talking about the first one) I immediately went to the mall and bought it being the huge baseball fan that I am. I went home and started playing, and I had a blast. It kept me playing for months and months, until I heard that a new one called Slugfest was coming out. When I first read about it, I was told how the game has been advanced from the first one to the second one. I couldn't wait to get it, and of course, I once again did buy it immediately. However, when I got home this time, I wasn't as impressed..... In fact, I was dissapointed. Graphics: 10/10 I will give it up for this department. The graphics in this game are great. The platers look real, the appearances of the stadiums is incredible (the same exact thing as real life) and the menu graphics were spectacular. Sound: 6/10 Like the first game, the sound isn't that great. It's not that the sound isn't clear, it's just that the music is repeated over and over again, which eventually becomes annoying. Game Play: 5/10 Here's what I thought was the dissapointment of the game. When you step into the batters box, you are expected to hit the ball with a weird shaped oval-like cursor. This is difficult and becomes frustrating when you can't hit the ball. Also, the view from the pitching mound has been changed, in my opinion, to a worse camera angle. Instead of being right behind the batter as if you are the catcher, you watch from behind the pitcher. This makes it difficult to tell where the ball is going to end up if the batter makes contact, which, like hitting, will be very frustrating if you keep making errors that cost you the game. So what am I saying? Well, if you're a baseball fan, go pick this game up. All the players and teams have been updated and it is strictly all baseball. However, if you are not a baseball fan and simply want a fun baseball game to play, go buy MLB with Ken Griffey Jr. (the first one) because the game is, in a word, more fun. ----------------------- 6) Credits ----------------------- Cheat Code Central http://www.cheatcc.com For the Game Shark Codes Nintendo 64 Underground http://www.nintendorks.com The best N64 site out there.........
