A look back at the original NES Bases Loaded as it aims for a new generation
The PlayStation 4 Bases Loaded game, known as Moero!! Pro Yakyuu in Japan, will launch in the country in spring 2016, Mebius and Clarice Games announced. It was previously planned for a winter release.
Full details about the game have not yet been announced, but Bases Loaded will use the same pixelated style as its 1987 predecessor.
Omg the Jaleco game? Hahaha I played the crap out of this like 25 years ago.
Would anyone play this given how it looks as it looks like it came straight from 1987
These five games were gold... then they tried to do better and failed, according to this columnist. Do you agree?
A few more off the top of my head...
Contra - Later games forgot what made the originals so great and challenging. 3d killed it pretty dead.
Age of Empires - Though not complete failures, the later iterations just became less and less workable, until they made a weird skirmish-based game with a Farmville-esque hub online game with its name.
Castlevania - The pre-SOTN games have pretty much died off, with only the Lords of Shadow game and sequel to back it up (which are more God of War than Castlevania). The Castlevania games were pretty consistently good until 3d games turned into an awkward platformer with target lock-on and other misdirected ideas.
You possibly remember Jaleco’s Bases Loaded released starting in 1987 for Arcades, Nes and Game Boy. It even hit Nintendo’s Virtual Console for Wii, 3DS and Wii U.
Today Mebius announced that it’s working on a new PS4 game to revive the IP, scheduled for release in Japan this winter.
I know the Show is the end all be all- but actually have a soft spot for the Japanese only baseball games like Baseball Spirits and Powerful Pro Baseball.
Now as for Bases Loaded it was the fist baseball game I actually played as a kid (Bases Loaded II). Fingers crossed this gets a western release!
Can't wait to try Bases Loaded for PS4,never played the arcade.
I wished the Pawapuro creators would say something about their next home console game since they seemed to put more and more focus on Mobile versions these past 5 years.
It took them few years before move onto PS3 I don't even wanna know how long they would take this time PS4 with Konami going mobile and shit.
Man both BL1&2 were my favorite baseball games back then. I hope they capture the spirit of both games in this one.
Hell yeah lol! "We have decided to reinvigorate the smash hit Karate Champ for today's audiences." Sheesh. Time flies.
Lol..guess someone doesn't like Hockey. It was one of the best back in the day.
Baseball simulator 1.000 was fantastic fun baseball stars too
Wow, Bases Loaded and Baseball Stars from SNK were my favorite baseball games back then on NES.
I remember playing the Game Boy version of this game as a kid, to me retro sports games are more fun than modern ones.
An amazing game. A real leap up from RBI baseball and Major League Baseball (the game).
