Play Super Stadium (Japan) Online

Super Stadium (or Super Kyuukyoku Harikiri Stadium if you want the full mouthful) is one of those early SNES baseball games that feels rough around the edges but weirdly charming. The pitching mechanics take some getting used to—you’ve got this meter you need to time just right, and if you mess up, the ball either floats like a balloon or gets absolutely crushed. Fielding is janky as hell, but in that way where you laugh when your shortstop trips over his own feet chasing a pop fly.

It’s got that classic 16-bit baseball vibe: tiny pixel players, exaggerated home run animations, and crowd noises that sound like someone recorded a kazoo. Not the deepest baseball sim out there, but perfect if you want something quick and chaotic. I still fire it up sometimes just to see how far I can blast a home run into the stands.
