MLB Power Price: $19.99 [update]

Posted Mar 20th 2008 11:15AM by Eric Caoili

If you consider yourself a connoisseur of baseball video games, there's no reason why you shouldn't have a copy of MLB Power Pros! Never mind the deceptively simple art style with its super-deformed characters -- this is one of the deepest baseball titles currently available. Konami packed over a dozen different modes into MLB Power Pros, including an RPG-esque mode in which you follow a college baseball player's career to help him realize his Major League dreams.

Amazon has MLB Power Pros priced at $19.99 as part of an ongoing sale for sports-themed games today, so now is the time to pick it up if you're interested! Keep in mind that this deal will only last until midnight (or until stocks run out).

Update: It looks like this popular bargain is going in and out of stock. You might have to keep checking back until the $19.99 price shows up.

For most, when they think of October, they think of Halloween and the leaves changing color. For all of us sports fans, though, October marks baseball playoffs. And, Konami, in their infinite wisdom, released a baseball game we're very interested in this week called MLB Power Pros.

So, will you be taking part in the festivities with us, or are you planning on playing through something else?

MLB Power Pros Exhibition Match

Uploaded by thetanooki

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!

This latest clip from Power Pro Baseball (MLB Power Pros for us here in the states) has us all kinds of excited for some super-deformed baseball on our Wii. In showing us how a game is set up and played, we're dying to get in on the action. We just wish the game was Wi-Fi compatible ...

TGS07: Turn your giant, featureless head toward some Power Pro screens

Are you a fan of baseball played by enormous-headed people with free-floating, stumpy limbs? Of course you are. The Power Pro Baseball series has been doing the Weeble/Rayman thing since before the first Mii was Mii'd, and it's bringing its adorable signature look to the Wii.

These screens of MLB Power Pros from the pre-TGS Konami Media Conference show the Japanese version of the game, called Jikkyo Powerful Pro Yakyuu 2, which, just like our release, uses the American Major League Baseball teams. If Japanese gamers can handle American MLB games without mullets (the "Powerprokuns" have no hair at all), then maybe we can too.
