Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2 is that classic SNES baseball game where everything just feels right—the crack of the bat, the way fielders dive for impossible catches, even the goofy little player animations. It’s the second in the Power Pros series, and if you’ve played the first one, you’ll notice the pitching mechanics are a bit tighter here. The AI actually makes you work for those home runs instead of just serving up meatballs.

First thing you’ll notice? The menus are all in Japanese, but honestly, you don’t need to read much to get into a game. Pitcher selection’s all about the icons—fastball guy, curveball specialist—and once you’re in, it’s pure 16-bit baseball bliss. The fielding’s a little janky at times (good luck chasing down a line drive), but that just adds to the chaos. If you dig retro sports games, this one’s a gem.
