SNES Ryan Sandberg Plays Super Bases Loaded in Box
1 OF 1 · NO RESTOCK
Super Bases Loaded on SNES is a 1993 Jaleco release and the franchise's first appearance on Nintendo's 16-bit hardware. Jaleco built the Bases Loaded name on the NES through the late 1980s and early 1990s, and this was the transition title that brought the series into the cartridge-era upgrade cycle. Ryne Sandberg's name and likeness are on the box, which puts this copy in the narrow category of licensed athlete cover art without a full MLB team-marks deal behind it. The MLBPA could license players; MLB Properties controlled club logos and uniforms. Jaleco worked within that framework, which is why the cover art is worth reading carefully before you assume it represents a full official Cubs tie-in.
By 1993 Sandberg was coming off a Hall of Fame-caliber peak. He had taken the NL MVP in 1984 and spent the early 1990s as the consensus best second baseman in the National League. The 1993 season itself ended up being one of the last dominant runs before his first retirement in June 1994. Putting his name on a title was not a promotional gamble. Sandberg moved units. Jaleco released Super Bases Loaded into a Super Nintendo market that was absorbing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball, the Accolade MLBPA titles, and the first wave of mode-7 sports games all at the same time. Competition was thick. The Bases Loaded franchise's hook was its pitching and baserunning depth, which skewed toward serious baseball fans rather than the arcade crowd. That positioning held on SNES.
Jaleco paired a ten-time Gold Glove second baseman with arcade baseball physics and a clean box.
This copy is complete in box, meaning cartridge, box, and presumably the inner tray or manual are present. The previous body notes creased edges on the box, which is standard for a 33-year-old retail box that spent any time on a shelf or in a closet. The Sandberg printed signature on the box art is the distinguishing visual element. Color saturation on the cover and condition of the cart label will tell you how this copy was stored. Check the cart label edge where it meets the cartridge shell. Label lift at that seam is the most common wear point on SNES carts from this period.
OWNER VERIFY: Confirm complete-in-box contents (cartridge, box, inner tray, manual) and match the cart label against box art Sandberg signature for any fading or peeling at the label edge seam.
