Super Power League 2 is one of those SNES baseball games that flew under the radar outside Japan, which is a shame because it’s got way more personality than most sports titles from that era. The pixel art is crisp, the animations are smooth, and there’s this weirdly satisfying weight to every hit—like you can almost feel the bat connect.

At first glance, it’s just another baseball sim, but then you notice the little things: the way fielders dive for catches with exaggerated flair, or how the crowd actually reacts to big plays instead of just sitting there. The controls take a minute to get used to, especially if you’re coming from something like Ken Griffey Jr., but once it clicks, it’s hard to put down.

Oh, and the music? Absolute bangers. It’s got that classic SNES synth energy that somehow makes even a routine pop fly feel dramatic. If you’re into retro sports games, this one’s a hidden gem worth digging up.
