R.B.I. Baseball 17 came out today on Switch both physically and digitally. Have a look at some gameplay below.

The MLB has tweeted a new trailer for R.B.I. Baseball 17. As the tweet points out, this is the first time in two decades that the series has appeared on a Nintendo console. The last entry to appear on a Nintendo console was Super R.B.I. Baseball for the SNES.

R.B.I. Baseball 17 is available now. Watch the trailer below:


The Switch eShop has updated with a listing for R.B.I. Baseball 17. It’s due out very soon, as it’s planned for September 5.

R.B.I. Baseball 17 will be sold physically, but also as a digital download. The latter option will require 3.1GB of free space.

The eShop also lists supported controllers. You should be able to use the Joy-Con or the Pro Controller in docked mode. Also noted is the ability to pop off the Joy-Con and play with a friend, which makes it sound like the split Joy-Con setup is supported.

Thanks to Jes T for the tip.
