First MLB The Show 17 gameplay trailer also introduces fans to Retro Mode

Posted on December 6, 2016 by John Scalzo

Sony hosted their annual PlayStation Experience event this past weekend, and we’re still sorting through all the trailer and announcements unveiled during the showcase. And for all you baseball fans out there, here’s a look at the first gameplay trailer for Sony’s MLB The Show 17.

The trailer also gave us a quick glimpse at Retro Mode, an SNES-styled mode that transforms MLB The Show 17 into something that more closely resembles 1994’s Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball. Here’s what Sony San Diego’s Ramone Russell had to say about MLB The Show 17’s Retro Mode on the PlayStation Blog:

Introducing “Retro Mode,” a retro gameplay experience that pays homage to the classic baseball games many of us grew up playing. Retro Mode allows you to move the pitcher across the pitcher’s rubber and move around the batter’s box with ease, classic on-screen displays, an old school soundtrack, unique sound effects, a throwback pause menu and more.

MLB The Show 17 will be released for the PS4 on March 28.

MLB The Show 17 will be available on March 28 with Ken Griffey Jr on the cover

Posted on October 27, 2016 by John Scalzo

Ken Griffey Jr. partnered with Nintendo to collaborate on four video games during the Super NES and N64 eras. As an avid gamer himself, this was probably quite the thrill for the man known alternately as “The Kid” and “The Natural.” Nowadays, baseball fans talk about him in hushed tones as the game’s newest Hall of Famer. But starting next year, we’ll also be able to refer to him as MLB The Show 17 Cover Athlete Ken Griffey Jr.

Set to launch for the PS4 on March 28, MLB The Show 17 will let players add Ken Griffey Jr. to the game as a playable “Living Legend.” In addition to the game-only Standard Edition, Sony also plans to scout out a lot of shelf space for three different special editions:
