Back to Super NES! This brings us very nearly to the midpoint on the 1991 lineup, and I’m aiming to have that book complete this spring. Fortunately there are some very bright spots up ahead to help balance out ho-hum games like this.

Super Bases Loaded retrospective: Yer out | Super NES Works #014

The Super NES gets its first sports game in the form of an entry in Jaleco's Bases Loaded baseball series, which doesn't offer a whole lot that you couldn't find in Jaleco's simultaneous release for NES, Bases Loaded 3. All this 16-bit iteration really offers over its 8-bit counterpart is a questionable race not for the pennant but rather for a "perfect" game, a task best left to masochists drowning in free time.

I never played Super Bases Loaded. No way in hell would I ever deign to play a game with an effing CUB on the cover. Baseball Simulator 1.000 for life!!!!

I do like that the green pitcher in the video has the same delivery as Hideo Nomo. For reference: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUWuc_XIaUw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUWuc_XIaUw</a>

Hmm. You know, it's interesting, but watching the pitchers in the video as it goes on, there are several other deliveries of the era I think I recognise. Pitcher #10, from about 3:50 to 4:00, looks an awful lot like Dennis Martinez, coincidentally shown here completing a perfect game, the supposed goal of this vidya contraption: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JunDWY50C7U" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JunDWY50C7U</a>
