This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

In addition to the announcement last year that Pawapuro would be on PS3, I have a feeling Pawapuro Production won't be working with Wii. It could either be a contractual issue or a creative issue in that the Konami guys want to take a big leap forwards and not just release the same PS2 games with Wiimote functions. Let's remember that Konami released the interactive bat a few years back.
Let us also not forget what Konami tried to pull last year. They announced the next Pro Yakyu Spirits to be on Xbox 360 and nothing else. I contacted them and asked if it was going to release on PS2, and the rep told me, "We have no plans as of right now to release on anything but Xbox 360." Of course PYS3 also released on PS2 and Konami announced that a few months after the 360 announcement. This could all just be a marketing ploy to get more people to buy PS3 at launch.
