Award-Winning Baseball Franchise Brings Another Game to the PlateSept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- The 3DO Company (Nasdaq: THDO) today announced that it has shipped the Game Boy(R) Advance version of the High Heat(TM) Major League Baseball(R) 2002 game to retail outlets throughout North America and online stores. This new addition to 3DO's award-winning baseball series will be the first and only baseball game for the Game Boy Advance handheld game system licensed by Major League Baseball Properties, Inc. and the Major League Baseball Players Association in 2001.

3DO's High Heat games have already been named the top baseball games on their respective platforms by several key gaming publications including Official PlayStation Magazine, PSE2 Magazine, and Computer Gaming World. High Heat(TM) Major League Baseball(R) 2002 on the Game Boy Advance is on the same track. "Easily the best handheld baseball game I've ever played," said Drew Williams, Nintendo Power reviewer.

Vladimir Guerrero of the Montreal Expos and his brother, Wilton, of the Cincinnati Reds, true fans of the High Heat series, are endorsing this year's editions. Interestingly, 3DO discovered last year that the Guerrero brothers were actually using High Heat (for PlayStation(R)) not only for fun, but also as a training tool to scout opposing Major League Baseball(R) pitchers! What better endorsement for High Heat(TM) Major League Baseball(R) 2002? Now they will have a version to take on the road and so will you.

Some of the key features for High Heat MLB 2002 for the Game Boy Advance:

5 different modes of play (Batting Practice, Exhibition, Season, Playoffs, and Home Run Derby)
9 different kinds of pitches
