City Connection is remaking the 1993 Irem arcade game Baseball Fighting League Man as Baseball Fighting League Man Bases Loaded, scheduled for December 10, 2026.

The remake adds Pink, a support character from the original, as a playable character, and introduces a high-difficulty Climax Season mode with new stages and altered enemy placements. A collaboration stage with Moero!! Pro Baseball appears in Climax Season, where League Men fight against the stadium backdrop, and a new exclusive technique called Bunt, described as having home-run-class power, is available. The game includes updated graphics, widescreen support, new playable characters, new modes, mini-games, and arranged BGM by composer Yosuke Yasui, which can be switched with the original soundtrack.
Controls have been simplified with one-button special moves. The main Regular Season mode supports up to 4-player local co-op, with no online support. Packaged versions include the Baseball Fighting Encyclopedia, a first-print bonus set with a soundtrack CD and a fan book. Pre-orders for the packaged versions opened on August 19, 2026, and the Steam store page is live. A giveaway campaign on City Connection's official X account runs until September 2, and a livestream is scheduled for August 19 at 21:00.
