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.

However, I'm having a hard time with PawaPuro (I'm playing 3 - 97 Haru and '98 Basic Edition, both on the Super Famicom). I keep getting fly-outs all the time - and the runners seem pretty slow compared to the fielders. Is there some kind of "dash" button? Any way to do a weaker hit besides a bunt?
I'm not sure of the controls since the only thing I have to go by is the options menu controller diagram, which I know by experience doesn't list all the button functions. There's also some kanji I can't translate - the functions of the L and R buttons in particular are a mystery to me; I know the they can be used for infield and outfield shifts and that's about it.
Any help would me much appreciated, and special thanks to Jo McClane, the menus are much less of a mystery to me after reading your PowaMaja guide!
