Man, The Sporting News Power Baseball on SNES takes me back. It’s not the flashiest baseball game out there, but there’s something about the way it plays—fast, simple, and just unpredictable enough to keep you on your toes. First thing you’ll notice? The pitching mechanic actually makes you think, not just mash buttons. Curveballs actually curve, and if you time it wrong, that fastball’s gonna sail right past you.

Batting feels solid too—no instant home runs here. You’ve gotta watch the ball, adjust your swing, and yeah, sometimes you’ll whiff completely. The fielding’s a little clunky by today’s standards, but once you get the hang of it, diving for line drives or robbing homers at the wall feels legit satisfying.

Best part? Two-player mode. My brother and I used to go at it for hours, trash-talking every pop fly and stolen base. The rosters are obviously outdated now, but who cares when you’re too busy trying to strike out your friend with a sneaky slider? If you dig old-school sports games, this one’s a solid pick.
