Baseball Stars, released in Japan as Baseball Star Mezase Sankan ?, is a baseball video game developed by SNK. It was released for the NES in 1989.
It became a major hit in many countries worldwide, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Baseball Stars was a critical success, often referred to as the best baseball game on the NES platform (and possibly of all-time); as such it became a franchise series for SNK, spawning five sequels, and its “create player” and “create team” functions have become standard features in sports games.
