Hit Nintendo Titles Goal!/Super** Goal! and Bases Loaded/ Super Bases Loaded Now Available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5
Long Beach, CA. – November 20, 2025 – Rock It™ Games today announced that in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Nintendo Entertainment System in the United States* it is relaunching two of the best selling sports games from that platform, along with franchise sequels from the Super Nintendo, on the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. Available today for $7.99 are the beloved baseball classic, Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded and the soccer hit, Jaleco Sports: Goal! Jaleco Sports: Bases Loaded features both Bases Loaded (NES 1988) and Super Bases Loaded (SNES 1991). Jaleco Sports: Goal! includes Goal! (NES 1988) and Super Goal! (Super Nintendo 1992).
"The Jaleco Sports series aren't just reboots of the original classics on today's consoles, said Michael Devine, CEO of Rock It Games. "We're adding a bit of Rock It's curating magic to these rereleases with brand new features and improvements that fans will love as well as a treasure trove of historical items from the original NES and SNES releases.
Bases Loaded was created by noted Japanese game developer, Tose, and published by Jaleco in 1987 in Japan and in 1988 in North America. Featuring a tv-style perspective of the pitcher-batter matchup, realistic player design (for that era) and 12 teams each featuring 30 uniquely skilled players, Bases Loaded was considered one of the most realistic sports simulations of its time and quickly became a bestseller on the Nintendo Entertainment System, with over a million copies sold in North America. Bases Loaded spawned two sequels on the NES, and then later three more titles in the series on the Super Nintendo.
Super Bases Loaded released for the SNES in May 1991 in Japan and September 1991 in North America. The game was one of the very first sports titles to appear for the Super Nintendo in the US.

The Goal! series earned a reputation for its innovative approach to soccer simulation. Each team featured uniquely rated players across skills like dribbling, shooting, speed, defense, and ball control.

The NES version features 16 international teams competing for the World Cup and 8 U.S. teams in a tournament format. It also includes a Shootout mode, where players attempt to score against defenders and a goalkeeper.
The SNES sequel, Goal!, expanded on the original with a side-scrolling field, 24 international teams, instant replays, and full-field radar views. It also introduced strategic options like four defensive formations and more player control.
