Data-Navi Pro Yakyuu 2 is one of those weird, super-niche Japanese baseball sims for the Game Boy Color that never made it overseas. It’s got that classic late-90s pixel art with tiny players running around tiny fields, but the real hook is the stat-heavy management side—you’re basically micromanaging every pitch and lineup change like a spreadsheet with legs.

First few minutes? You’ll be drowning in menus (all in Japanese, obviously) trying to figure out which player’s batting stance looks least likely to whiff. The AI pitchers love throwing curveballs just outside the zone, so good luck not swinging at garbage. Once you get past the language barrier, there’s something oddly satisfying about bunting your way to a 1-0 victory in the bottom of the ninth.

Definitely not for everyone, but if you’ve ever wanted to experience baseball as a glorified math problem, this is your game.
