Reception

Namachūkei 68 was met with generally favorable reception from reviewers. Micom BASIC Magazine noted the game's sense of realism and "splendid" graphical direction, but commented that it may prove initially difficult because of the pseudo-3D point of view.[3] Micom BASIC also ranked Namachūkei 68 at the number nine spot in popularity on their October 1991 issue.[14] Oh!X's Ogikubo Kei commended the game's audiovisual presentation, but felt that it was slower but difficult compared to fast-paced action titles on the X68000. Nevertheless, Kei recommended it for fans of professional baseball.[15] Technopolis gave the game a positive outlook.[13]
