Bases Loaded 4
Also known as: Moe-Pro! Saikyou Hen (JP) Developer: TOSE Publisher: Jaleco Platform: NES Released in JP: November 22, 1991 Released in US: April 1993 This game has a hidden developer message. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused music. This game has a hidden sound test. This game has regional differences.

Unused Graphics

In the Japanese version, a large '91 is stored with the title screen graphics, suggesting it was going to be part of the game's title. It is styled similarly to the one used in the previous game, Moe-Pro! '90: Kandou Hen.

Sound Test

In the Japanese version, at the main title screen menu (do not enter any options), hold A + B on Controller 2 and press Start on Controller 1 to trigger a sound test. Here, use Controller 1 to listen to music and Controller 2 to listen to sounds. This cheat is provided by the game in one of the messages at the ending credits, mentioned below.

Due to code redesign in the US version, this cheat doesn't work anymore at the main title screen menu, it will be treated as entering the OPTIONS mode no matter what option was selected before. Instead, at the title screen, you must select the PLAY option and press Start or A. Once the next menu opens, hold A + B on Controller 2 and press Start or A on Controller 1.

This code is unlockable and given to you in the ending credits screens by 'TAKE-1" programmer. See section below.

Unused Music

All of the music from Bases Loaded 3 is still in the game. Use the patch code 829B:??:24 to hear the unused music on the title screen, with ?? replaced with a hex number between 1C and 22.

Credits

In the North American release of Bases Loaded 4, after you complete the game, you are treated to a one-screen ending. However, when you beat the Japanese version, Moe-Pro! Saikyou Hen, you get the same ending screen, but there are game credits following. There are five screens, each with pictures of the developers and their own quotes. This is similar to Rambo for the NES, which had credits in its Japanese release, but were taken out of its US release.

  I like deep-sea fish. Jun
  
  They're not in the game, but Italian.T also worked hard on the illustrations.

• 

  Despite the fact I'm not doing much, I'm thankful that a company like this is still publishing the game.
  Please enjoy the Super NES version of the game too!

  I want to get funky, we've got to get up and dance!!

  I'm waiting for a hero.
  When he arrives, he'll be someone who's glued to the TV set no matter what.

Tatsuya is an alias for Tatsuya Nishimura, who left Tose shortly after the development of this game to work for Capcom. S.M is Satoshi Matsushita, who worked on several other Tose games. Some of these developers would return in Super Bases Loaded. However in that game, both versions have credits with quotations, but the staff pictures are absent.

The programmer "TAKE-1" is referring to the sound test cheat code that can be done on the game's title screen (see above).
