Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball Wii

Konami's flagship baseball game series started on the Super Famicom in 1994 and continued its lengthy run on the Playstation and Playstation 2. Since the Wii is new and doesn't have a history with the Powerful Pro lineage, Konami can't give it a canonical designation. Thus, the reason for the title of Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball Wii. We're assuming they'll adopt another naming convention for next year's release since the Wii looks like it'll be around for at least another 5 years.

The data in the Wii version of JPPB features updated with 2007 stats and the usual bevy of game modes are included such as the "Pennant Race" where an entire season is played and "Success Mode" where a custom-built player is created and inducted into a baseball team. The "My Life" mode allows a player to experience the day to day life of a baseball player in the pros where a player can be promoted, traded, retired, and married. Once wed, it's possible to buy a house with his bride which he can call home.
As is the norm with the Powerful Baseball series, the controls rely on a reticule targeting system where every pitch and swing of the bat is governed by positioning a cursor on screen. It's simple, easy to control, and the player knows exactly where the pitch or swing is going.
