Ballz 3-D — stories left

The opening PF.Magic developed for the game stated "To be the champion, you gotta have Ballz!".

The SNES version of the game states "...you gotta play Ballz", while the Sega version uses the original intro.

GamePro gave the 3DO version a highly positive review, applauding the additions and improvements such as enhanced graphics, increased play speed, rendered backgrounds, new character, character-specific theme songs, and arena rotation, as well as the humor and "non-conformist attitude" of the game itself.

Ballz was ranked seventh in a 2011 list of "Top Ten Fighting Games We'd Like to Forget", compiled by Game Informer.

Next Generation reviewed the 3DO version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "If you accept its looks, it plays fine, but this is as much yesterday's technology as any sprite-based fighter attempting to get away with digitized characters.

They praised the balanced gameplay, smooth scaling effects, and humorous sound effects, and concluded, "Ballz takes the increasingly routine genre of fighting games and gives it a new bounce, injecting a wicked sense of humor into the action.

Two of them praised its original design and good graphics, and the other two praised the humorous sounds, but all but one felt the game was not as enjoyable as other fighting games, with the biggest problem being the fighters' limited set of moves.

Ballz 3D (originally subtitled Fighting at Its Ballziest in North America and The Battle of the Balls in Europe) is a 1994 fighting game developed by PF.Magic and published by Accolade for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System, with a 3DO version being released as a director's cut in 1995.
