Year in and year out, NCS can rely on Konami to release a few new versions of Powerful Pro Baseball on the popular consoles of the day. About a decade ago, the consoles of choice were the Sega Saturn and Playstation. This year, the PS2, Wii, and PSP will all get the 2008 versions of the Powerful Pro game. Maybe one day, the PS3 will supplant the PS2. In any case, it's the Playstation Portable's turn this week.Jikkyou Powerful Pro 3 features updated 2008 season data for all twelve professional teams, updated uniforms that the players wear, and the latest player stats. A number of game modes are playable including:
» Success Mode - Create a baseball player who starts his career in high school and makes his way to the major leagues.
» My Life Mode - Join the big leagues as a rookie and be a team player.
» Pennant Mode - It's a new season and the pennant race is on
The controls rely on a cursor targeting system where every pitch or swing of the bat is governed by a reticule which pinpoints the area of impact. The fielding isn't as precise as the pitching and batting but players in the infield or outfield can efficiently sidle left and right to home in on grounders as well as fly balls that pop upwards momentarily. Two players can link up wirelessly to play a versus game.
