"Live Powerful Pro Baseball"), also known simply as Power Pro or Pawapuro to non-Japanese speakers, is a traditionally Japan-only baseball series created by Konami. It is known for its big-headed characters, and addictive arcade-style gameplay. It is long running in Japan, starting out in 1994 for the Super Famicom.

Jikkyou Powerful Pro Jakyuu 9: The new volume includes some substantial graphical upgrades, as well as new modes and control schemes to provide even more bang for your big-head baseball yen. Powerful Pro Jakyuu 9 is the first game in the series to employ cel-shaded graphics, granting an even more cartoonish look to the diminuitive ballplayers.

In addition to professional baseball, with the full license of Japan's pro league, Powerful Pro 9 also includes a high-school baseball mode, leading up to the famous Koushien national championship. The emphasis is still on pro team simulation, though -- player data is accurate through April 2002, and the upgraded Pennant Mode includes more detailed team simulation options, as well as super-cute interface graphics. In addition to a detailed trade system, it's also possible to pick up free agents and go after foreign players. Simulations last as long as ten seasons, and teams customized in Pennant Mode are available for play in other modes -- thus, it's possible play a one-off game against the computer or a friend with a personalized team.

Pennant Mode also includes a new practice system, which makes the relationships between players a factor in gameplay as the season progresses. Managing practice sessions so that certain players learn to work together increases their effectiveness in games. The two ancillary modes of note are Home Run Derby and "Home Run-Kun", which is a little less so. Home Run-Kun is a sort of expanded championship version of the regular Derby, where an ambitious young slugger seeks to belt record homers out of 11 famous stadiums, from Tokyo to Fukuoka.
