Konami's New CellPhone App Animates Live Baseball

J.T. Cassidy in Japan has recently informed us about a Japanese cell phone app from Konami Digital Entertainment that animates live baseball games in real time via one of its popular baseball game interfaces.
Japanese Baseball Gets Animated

Baseball in Japan just got a lot smaller and that's good news for fans everywhere. Thanks to the folks at Konami Digital Entertainment everyone in Japan can now catch a ball game right in the palm of their hand. The video game maker has just released a new cell phone app called "Mobile Pawafuru Puroyakyu - Ikkyu Sokuho" (aka "Powerful Baseball News Pitch") that delivers Japanese pro ball games in real time and much more.

This is live baseball as you've never seen it. "Powerful Baseball News Pitch" takes you back to a simpler time when people would spend sultry summer nights listening to the game over a little transistor radio pressed tightly up against their ears and then propels you light years ahead. This amazing little phone app uses Konami's popular "Power Pro" baseball video game interface to bring all the season's games right to your cell phone screen in living animation. The “Power Pro” video game series features lovable bobble-headed characters that make the classic game of baseball extremely cute. Try out this app during an actual game and watch the cuddly little cartoon Power Pro characters take to the virtual field where they fill in for the actual players and recreate the live on-field action of hitting and throwing the ball. Bringing the sights and sounds of the ballpark to life, you might think you were watching a televised game broadcast and you sort of are, except that the on-screen characters are a hundred times more adorable than their real life counterparts.

"Powerful Baseball News Pitch" puts a treasure trove of stats and other information at your fingertips, plus you'll never have to miss a game again. You can play any of the season's games anytime, anywhere you want. You can also recapture all the magical moments, like triple plays and grand slammers, and relive them over and over again. Put in a few extra hours on the job and missed half of the game? No problem, just play back the part you missed and you won't have missed a thing, plus you'll have some extra money in your pockets to boot. It's a win win application no matter how you look at it.

Right now "Powerful Baseball News Pitch" is basically a Japan-only app that's unlikely to travel beyond the borders of this distant land. Then again, the world of baseball is getting smaller and virtually anything is possible.
