City Connection revived a classic arcade beat 'em up for the modern era, and the return of Ninja Baseball League-Man: Bases Loaded matters to players who want local multiplayer on current hardware. The studio confirmed a release date of December 10 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Steam. This multi-platform launch gives fans of the genre a direct path to play the updated title on their preferred system without waiting for a later port.
City Connection revival launches December 10 with four-player co-op
The game serves as a revival of Irem's 1990s arcade hit, bringing the original premise to contemporary consoles and computers. City Connection stated that the "Irem’s legendary 90s arcade beat ’em up is back and powered up!" The title supports cooperative play for up to four players in the main game mode. This feature makes it a practical choice for groups looking to share a screen during sessions.
Technical details include new arranged background music composed by Yosuke Yasui. The development team also introduced a new playable character named Pink to the roster. Digital versions will cost 4,180 YEN (around $26.19) for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and PC, which translates to around $26.19. Xbox Series owners will pay a slightly higher digital price of 4,200 YEN (around $26.32), or around $26.32.
Physical editions are available only for PlayStation 5 and Switch 2, priced at 5,500 yen (around $34.46). These physical copies contain the full game on the card rather than a download code. We looked at Cresata announced for PS5, Xbox Series, earlier while tracking City connection launches.
The release is confirmed for December 10 across all listed platforms. Buyers in Japan can choose between digital downloads or physical cards for compatible consoles. The pricing structure reflects the regional market for these specific hardware generations.
