MLB Power Pros Exhibition Match

The Tanooki's review of MLB Power Pros includes some lengthy video of the game in action, along with informative text about how gameplay works. We're fascinated by the series' continued Japanese success and impressed by the audacity of releasing an SD sports game in the realism-obsessed U.S. sports market.

The cutesy appearance belies some fairly deep gameplay. The review speaks of things like a batting "sweet spot" that shrinks and grows according to your performance, and pitching that gives the player control over not speed, but precise positioning.

The review makes some negative points about the difficulty of fielding and the nerfed motion controls, but is positive overall, and it sounds like the game can still be fun with waggle turned off. You can make your own observations from this video and the others found at the site!
