Though its US logo may suggest the game is part of the [[:Category:World Series Baseball|''World Series Baseball'' series]], it is actually part of the [[:Category:Greatest Nine|''Greatest Nine'' series]] - a franchise that up until this point had never left Japan. Unlike other entries in the series, this one has no subtitle, and is therefore simply known as '''''Greatest Nine''''' (グレイテストナイン) in that region.
+
Despite ''Baseball Advance'' having ties to the [[:Category:Greatest Nine|''Greatest Nine'' series]], the ''Baseball Advance'' logo looks more like the logo used for Sega's [[:Category:World Series Baseball (franchise)|''World Series Baseball'' series]].

Baseball Advance is a baseball game produced by Sega, developed by Smilebit and published by THQ for the Game Boy Advance. It was later released in Japan as Greatest Nine with different licenses.

Despite Baseball Advance having ties to the Greatest Nine series, the Baseball Advance logo looks more like the logo used for Sega's World Series Baseball series.
