Chou Kyuukai Miracle Nine is one of those weird, charming Sega Genesis baseball games that doesn’t play like anything else. It’s got this isometric view that makes fielding a little chaotic—you’ll misjudge fly balls at first, but once it clicks, it’s weirdly satisfying. The pitching and batting feel snappy, and there’s just enough arcade-y exaggeration to keep it from feeling like a straight-up sim.

No idea why it never left Japan, honestly. The menus are in Japanese, but if you’ve played enough baseball games, you can fumble through it. The announcer yells stuff you won’t understand, and the players have these exaggerated animations that make even routine plays feel dramatic. Definitely a hidden gem if you’re into retro sports games with personality.
