NES Bases Loaded
1 OF 1 · NO RESTOCK
Bases Loaded is a Jaleco-published NES baseball title, released in North America in 1987, and one of the carts that genuinely changed how baseball games felt on the console. Grey cartridge, standard NES form factor, and a cover that puts a pitcher mid-windup inside a red circular frame. The image alone told you this was doing something different before you even dropped it in the deck.
What Jaleco did with Bases Loaded was give console baseball a behind-the-pitcher camera perspective, something the competition was not doing in 1987. Most baseball games of that moment were overhead or side-scrolling affairs. Jaleco pushed the viewpoint behind the mound, so the batter was in the distance, and reading the pitch became part of the game. That design choice set a template that Konami, Nintendo's own team, and other publishers had to respond to. The game shipped with nine fictional teams rather than MLB clubs, which was standard for the period since MLBPA licensing without full league marks was common. Each team was named for a U.S. region, and the rosters had enough differentiation that choosing your squad was actually a strategic decision. Bases Loaded went on to spawn three sequels on the NES alone, which is a run that speaks to how well the core mechanics held up across the late 1980s and into the very early 1990s.
The first baseball sim where late-inning bullpen decisions actually mattered in your living room.
This copy is cart only, so what you are evaluating is the cartridge itself. The grey shell should be clean with no significant cracking at the corner tabs. The label is the piece to inspect closely: the Jaleco branding sits at the top right, and the red circular pitcher graphic is the tell for a legitimate first-print North American release. The connector pins at the base of the cart are the last thing to check before any transaction. Oxidation is common on carts that have moved around, and a clean pin edge means faster reads and fewer lockup resets on original hardware.
OWNER VERIFY: Confirm the 1987 North American release label and Jaleco copyright text on the cartridge face before confirming era.

The Nintendo Archive
This is part of Nintendo's 80s run, the era that built the shop's back wall. Nintendo shipped cartridges, plush, promotional oddities, and packaging that most buyers threw out on the way to the game. What survived, mostly by accident, ends up here. Every piece is cleaned, photographed, and listed one at a time. Nothing on the archive shelf is a duplicate.
