Nekkyuu Koushien is one of those weird, charming baseball games from the Sega Master System era—except instead of playing as humans, you’ve got cats. Yeah, actual cats. They pitch, bat, and field with this goofy, exaggerated energy that makes it feel more like a cartoon than a sports sim. The mechanics are simple (it’s an 8-bit game, after all), but there’s something oddly satisfying about watching your feline shortstop dive for a ball with way more drama than necessary.

If you’re into retro Japanese oddities, this one’s a fun little time capsule. Just don’t expect deep strategy—it’s more about the absurdity of cat baseball than realism. You can play it on emulators pretty easily if you’re curious.
