Bases Loaded 3 (USA)

Bases Loaded 3 is a baseball simulation game for the NES, offering players an authentic experience of America's favorite pastime. A highlight of the game is its unique behind-the-pitcher camera angle, allowing players to clearly see the ball's trajectory and time their swings accurately. When the ball is pitched, the screen transitions to a close-up view of the batter, increasing the intensity and focus.

As the pitcher, you can choose from various pitch types such as fastball, curveball, slider, and changeup. Each pitch has its own speed and trajectory, requiring players to strategize to deceive their opponents. You also need to adjust the pitch location to avoid being hit or walking the batter.

When batting, players need to time and position their swing to hit the ball. You can move the batter's position within the strike zone to meet the ball. Hitting the ball and getting it out of reach of the opposing fielders is the main goal to score runs. Home runs always provide the most satisfying feeling.

After the ball is hit, players control the fielders to catch the ball and make defensive plays. Moving players, throwing the ball to bases or back to the pitcher to get outs are basic actions. Quick reactions and accurate decision-making are key to preventing the opponent from scoring.

The game features various teams, each with players possessing distinct stats for speed, batting power, pitching ability, and fielding. This creates diversity and challenge for players when selecting their lineup and strategy. Players can engage in single matches or full seasons, competing for the championship title. With its characteristic 8-bit NES graphics and lively sound, Bases Loaded 3 delivered a memorable baseball experience, attracting sports video game fans for years. This is a must-play title for anyone who loves baseball and wants to relive the golden era of the NES.
