Item Description

Bases Loaded 3 asked a strange and fascinating question: what if winning the game wasn't the point? Instead of a pennant race, Jaleco's third NES entry, released in Japan in 1990 and North America in 1991, challenges you to play the perfect game. After every contest you are scored from 1 to 100 across a range of categories, including your batting, your errors and your spectacular plays, with bonus points for diving and jumping catches that can push a great performance past 100.

That focus changes how you play. A sloppy win can score worse than a crisp, error-free loss, so every routine grounder and every at-bat matters, and chasing a higher score becomes its own addictive goal. Season play is gone in favor of exhibition games for one or two players, which makes it a quick game to pick up for a few innings at a time.

The cover carries the endorsement of Chicago Cubs star Ryne Sandberg, although the game itself uses fictional teams and players. In Japan the series was known as Moero!! Pro Yakyū, and this entry shows Jaleco still willing to experiment with the formula three games in.

The perfect-game concept divided players at the time, but it makes Bases Loaded 3 the most distinctive entry in the NES series and an interesting experiment in what a sports game could reward. It sits between Bases Loaded II and Bases Loaded 4 in one of the console's longest-running sports franchises, and it is the oddball entry that gives a full NES run its personality.

About the game

Bases Loaded 3 is the third entry in the Bases Loaded series published by Jaleco for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released in 1990 in Japan, and 1991 in North America and was exclusively on the NES. The game departed from the two previous installments by removing seasonal play, focusing instead simply on individual exhibition games. It was noteworthy due to the endorsement of Ryne Sandberg, the famed baseball player.
