Stickhead Games and Rock It Games have announced they're bringing back two classics for baseball fans, as Bases Loaded makes a return. If you grew up a gamer in the '80s and '90s, chances are you played one of Jaleco's titles from this franchise. These two companies have decided to bring them back for the 2025 baseball season, 37 years since the original came out on the NES. The collection is called Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded, and it comes with the original game, as well as Super Bases Loaded for the SNES, fully restored from their original ROM with some added improvements. Surprisingly, none of the sequels are here, as there are seven other games, including one where they worked with the MLBPA to use MLB teams and players. Maybe more will be added in the future? We can only hope, but for now, here's the info and trailer for the title, as the game is available on Steam and GOG.
