Backyard Sports: Baseball 2007 on the GBA is pure nostalgia—like digging up an old wiffle ball bat and playing in the dirt with your friends. The moment you boot it up, you’re hit with those bright, cartoony graphics and the classic Backyard Sports crew: Pablo Sanchez, the tiny legend, Achmed with his rocket arm, and the rest of the gang.

Gameplay’s simple but satisfying—pitch, swing, steal bases—but there’s just enough strategy to keep it interesting. Do you go for power with Pete Wheeler’s speed or risk a bunt with Pablo? The AI isn’t brutal, so it’s great for quick pick-up games when you just wanna relax. Tournaments add some stakes, but honestly, half the fun is goofing around in exhibition matches.

It’s not MLB-level depth, but that’s the charm. This is the kind of game you’d play after school with a bag of chips open next to you. If you grew up with Backyard Sports, it’s like slipping into a worn-out baseball mitt—comfortable, familiar, and weirdly hard to put down.
