An amazing 3rd party game for Wii that no one will play.... [56K]

MLB Power Pros

Love Wii Sports baseball and looking for some more in-depth baseball waggling action? Check out this game!

MLB Power Pros is Japan's number one baseball game, and this yeawr it's coming to the Wii thanks to Konami and 2K Sports!

Don't let the simplistic and cutesy art direction fool you... Power Pros is one of the most in-depth MLB games around. There are tons of modes, options, and all the MLB teams, stadiums, and players are in this game.

Gamespot Score - 8.0

The Good

• Bobbleheaded characters give the game a unique, whimsical look
• Controls are so simple that literally anyone can learn to play

• Loads of in-depth play modes and player creation features
• RPG-styl.e success mode provides unique take on the typical career mode.

• Technical aspects of the graphics are a couple years behind the curve
• Play-by-play guy repeats himself constantly
• No online features, not even roster updates.

IGN Score - 8.4

1UP Score - 8.5

Operation Sports - 9/10

GamesRadar - 8/10

Atomic Gamer - 9/10

It's also for the PS2, you know.nyoroism

True, but I made it for Wii because people say it doesn't have good 3rd party games.

the reason nobody will play it: It isn't "Mario's MLB Power Pro's".

Nintendo should just license the Mario name and likeness to all first and third party titles. You put Mario on the cover and it will sell like hotcakes to blind sheep everywhere!

No, I didn't. And no I won't check it out.

I want an in-depth bowling game. Or golfing game. Not baseball, which outside boxing, was the worst sport in Wii Sports.

I'm sure if this was on the PS3 it would get tons of sales. Just like Heavenly Swor- Oh wait!

Okay. :|

This game blows Wii Sports baseball out of the water though... that's what I'm trying to get at.

Good for the Wii only by its standardsspell_bound

The reason it is good for the Wii is because of the remote so you are right it would be bad on the 360 and PS3 because they don't have that.

Eh, baseball was okay.

Bowling > Tennis > Baseball > Boxing > Golf

If I want a baseball game, I'd get The Bigs.

I want someone somewhere to make a good, in-depth, bowling game for the Wii.

I was aware of that game. That is why I said a good bowling game.

I was thinking about this game, and even the Manager of my local GameStop told me to stay far away from it.

Why would you get the bigs? This game scored so much better and looks so much more in-depth? What do you have against this game?

I would get the Bigs (if I got a baseball game) since a majority of my friends have 360s and I'd play it on Live.

I don't have anything against the game. I just don't like baseball.

Oh, I thought you meant for Wii. If you don't like baseball then why are you here? :P I don't like it either, but I'm interested in this game. I think I will rent it when I got to preorder SMG today.

I came into the thread to see what game you were talking about. I stayed because this is actually not a fanboy thread, which is a nice change of pace.

If you do end up renting it, send me a PM letting me know if its any good.

I just preordered Galaxy. I thought I would go to Game Crazy / Hollywood video, but it turns out I went to GameStop instead. Next time I will definitely go to Hollywood Video. It'll be better to rent this on a Friday anyways, when I can play this with some friends.
