Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu on N64 is one of those Japanese baseball games that just feels right—even if you don’t understand the menus at first. The player models are chunky in that classic N64 way, but the animations are surprisingly smooth when you’re pitching or swinging for the fences. Stadiums have this weirdly cozy vibe, like you’re watching a late-night game under the lights.

It’s not super sim-heavy, but there’s enough strategy in picking pitches or timing your steals that it doesn’t just feel like button mashing. And yeah, the rosters are all Japanese teams, so don’t expect MLB names—half the fun is figuring out who’s who based on their ridiculous hair or batting stances. Definitely a solid pick if you’re into baseball games with personality.
