Released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989.

• Baseball Stars Professional (1990)

• Baseball Stars 2 (1992)

Originally released for Neo Geo. Features 18 teams across 2 leagues (exciting league & fighting league) and put more emphasis on graphics and actual gameplay (for example, being able to change pitchers or batters and powering up batters which increased the size of your bat).
