Item Description

Fresh off Donkey Kong Country, Rare turned the same pre-rendered graphics approach to baseball, and the result looks unlike any other sports game on the Super NES. Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run arrived in 1996, late in the console's life, with chunky, smoothly animated players that give every swing and diving catch a slightly cartoonish, three-dimensional look.

Under the stylish surface sits a deep set of modes. Beyond exhibition games, the MLB Challenge starts you with a weak team and asks you to climb the rankings by taking on every major league club. There are All-Star games and a World Series, and the league mode lets up to eight people each claim a team and play through a season of 26, 52 or 162 games, adjusting lineups and rotations and trading players along the way. It is a game built for long-running rivalries between friends.

Like its predecessor, Winning Run features all 28 Major League teams and their logos, but the rosters are filled with fictitious names, and Griffey is the only real player on the field. It is a quirk of mid-'90s licensing that collectors now find charming, and it makes the game a curious time capsule: real uniforms, real cities, invented ballplayers, and one superstar at the center of it all.

As the follow-up to Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball and one of the last major sports releases Nintendo published for the Super NES, Winning Run closes out Griffey's 16-bit era with Rare's signature visual polish. It is the version to own if you want Junior's baseball with the look of Donkey Kong Country and a league mode that can keep a group of friends busy all summer.

About the game

Ken Griffey Jr.'s Winning Run is a licensed arcade baseball game featuring MLB's own Ken Griffey Jr. Released in 1996, it contains all 28 MLB teams and logos from that time, with rosters containing fictitious names for the players (Ken Griffey Jr being the only real player in the game). Next to exhibition games, there are different game modes to compete in. In the MLB Challenge, players start with a weak team and go against every major MLB club to go up the rankings. There is also a complete World Series, All-Star games and the MLB League. In the league modes up to eight players can choose a team and play a season of 26, 52 or 162 games. Between matches players can change the line-up and rotation, and trade away players.
