It's up for download on the Japanese store for 7,980 yen plus whatever tax they charge you.

The easiest way to get enough yen into your Japanese account is to buy points codes from an online website.

I'm almost 40 with a full time job and I'm married. With the help of spiritstranslation.com, this game is easy to get into Exhibition and Pennant Mode. With 2016, I now have 4 version of Power Pros(both 2012, 2013, 2016) and 2 versions of PYS. I know no Japanese at all. It seems overwhelming at 1st, but it is easy once you get into it.

It sounds like we could be twins. Ha.

Maybe try to find an older cheaper copy. Like 2012 or 2013 and see if it is something you can handle without spending $80. I got my first copy of PYS off of Amazon for $30.

I'm contemplating buying the team chants DLC. At least for my team(Swallows) but possibly just getting it all. I'm not really interested in the BGMs

Amazon Japan currently shows it's 9680 (approximately $90 or so I think). Still debating if I should jump on board. Looks like Japan digital PSN would be cheaper according to Jyoung's most recent post. Not even sure what's the cheapest including shipping to the United States.

Still haven't bought the game just yet.

If only I knew Japanese, I would buy the game right now, capture each screenshot and do something like this. I'm not even sure some of the following translation is correct either. Using google translator and other japanese kanji translator sort of gave me the following translation. Changed some of the translated terms to something that might make more sense, but not even sure if those are the proper substitution. "Player's stat" was actually translated as "players data" but not sure which is more correct so to speak. Another one "Laurel's 9." I don't even know what that means. That might not even be the proper translation either.

That's the special Amazon only limited edition that costs 9,080 yen.

The regular version of the game is 7,039 yen ($66) on Amazon Japan. And it's another $6 for 2-day FedEx shipping to the USA.

Most of your pictures are correct. I believe the bottom-left mode on the main menu is the 20th Anniversary Success Mode where you face a bunch of characters from old Power Pros games. I'm not sure what "laurel's 9" is. I haven't tried that mode yet.

Another thing about either of konami's baseball games, you can forget about any kind of late inning comeback code or rubberband effect taking place.
