Item Description

Nintendo had a personal stake in this one. Hiroshi Yamauchi, the company's president, had become majority owner of the Seattle Mariners in 1992, and the Mariners had the most exciting young player in baseball. Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball put Junior's name and swing front and center on the Super NES in 1994 and became one of the system's best-remembered sports games, selling well over a million copies.

It is arcade baseball with a full Major League frame around it. With the league license in hand, all 28 clubs of the day are here, and nearly every one plays in its own park, right down to Fenway's Green Monster and the warehouse looming beyond right field at Camden Yards. The players' union was another matter: apart from Junior himself, the rosters are made-up stand-ins carrying their real counterparts' 1993 statistics, many named as jokes and tributes, and a name editor lets you set the record straight yourself. Barry Bonds' spot on the Giants went to a stand-in named after Ste Pickford, one of the game's artists. You handle the pitching, hitting and fielding yourself, a battery-saved season runs 26, 78 or the full 162 games through the playoffs to the World Series, and a Home Run Derby lets you step in as Griffey or one of a handful of invented sluggers.

Software Creations, the British studio behind the game, gave it a loose, playful personality that sets it apart from the more buttoned-up simulations of the time. The presentation is bright and snappy, the music, from a team that included Tim and Geoff Follin, drew praise from GamePro, and Griffey himself presides over the whole thing as the face of the franchise.

This is the 16-bit snapshot of Junior in his prime, made when Nintendo and the Mariners shared an owner and Griffey was the most fun player in the sport to watch. Pair it with its 1996 follow-up, Winning Run, and you have Nintendo's Griffey era on the Super NES.
