'''''Bases Loaded 3''''', known in Japan as {{nihongo|'''''MoePro! Yakyū '90 Kandō Hen'''''|燃えプロ!'90 感動編|MoePro! Baseball '90 Excitement Version}}, is a [[baseball]] [[video game]] released in 1990 by [[Jaleco]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. The game is the third installment of the ''Bases Loaded'' series.

==Gameplay==
The object of the game is to win an [[exhibition game]] of baseball, as the game does not have a season play option.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |date=March 30, 2008 |title=Game Review: Bases Loaded 3 |url= |access-date= |work=NES Times |via=}}</ref> After an exhibition game is completed, the player is given a numerical score based thirteen categories, including batting, errors, and spectacular plays. The score ranges from 1 to 100, but a player can score over 100 points by earning bonus points for jumping and diving catches.

Jaleco hired professional baseball player [[Ryne Sandberg]] for an endorsement.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |date=March 31, 2011 |title=Bases Loaded 3 Review |url=https://gamefreaks365.com/bases-loaded-3-review/ |access-date=2024-04-15 |work=Game Freaks 365}}</ref> However, this installment of the game did not feature real teams or players.<ref name=":0" /> More unpopular with players, however, was the somewhat bizarre premise that "playing a perfect game", not winning a [[Pennant (sports)|pennant]], was the game's ultimate goal.{{fact|date=August 2023}} Regardless, there would be one more NES ''Bases Loaded'' title, as well as several [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] titles.

The game is the third in the NES ''Bases Loaded'' series, following ''[[Bases Loaded II]]''.<ref name=":1" />

==Credits==
Both the US and Japanese versions of the game contain staff credits. Both versions have the same exact staff credits except the composer. In the Japanese version, the composer is credited as "God of Soul". In the USA version, he is credited as "Music Lover". This is an alias for Tatsuya Nishimura (as revealed in ''[[Bases Loaded 4]]''). It is unknown why the credit was changed in the USA version, probably because of Nintendo of America's policy of not having religious references.{{Citation needed|date=April 2024}}
