Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball is a 1994 baseball video game developed by Software Creations and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. A Game Boy version was released in 1997. The game has a Major League Baseball (MLB) license but not a Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) license, meaning that the game has real stadiums and real teams, but not real players (except Ken Griffey Jr.). The fictitious players have the same statistics as their real-world counterparts, and the game comes with a name-changing feature that allows players to change the athletes' names. Nintendo released a portable version of the game in 1997 for the Game Boy with real players and stats from the 1996 season. The gameplay is similar to its predecessors, though it is sometimes sluggish due to hardware restrictions. The SNES version came with a promotional Griffey collector's card packed inside.[1] It is often rated by the public as one of the best baseball games of all time.[2][3][4][5]
