Item Description

Pablo Sanchez is still the kid you pick first. Backyard Sports: Sandlot Sluggers brings the neighborhood baseball crew to the Nintendo DS in a 2010 refresh of the series, giving the Backyard Kids a slightly older, tween look while keeping the scrappy pickup-game spirit that made Humongous Entertainment's original Backyard Baseball a playground favorite in the late 1990s.

This entry is one of the few Backyard Baseball games without an MLB license, so instead of kid-sized pros, the dugout is filled with the Backyard gang and a cast of original characters. That shifts the focus onto what the series does best: quick, forgiving games of baseball with colorful personalities, imaginative fields and arcade-style boosts that let a big swing or a nasty pitch turn an inning on its head. It was released alongside Wii, Xbox 360 and PC versions, with HB Studios developing for DS and Atari publishing.

It is an easy, low-pressure introduction to baseball for younger players, and for parents who grew up drafting Pablo in the computer lab, it is a fun way to pass that tradition down on a handheld.

The Backyard Sports series is licensed by the leading professional US sports leagues (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLS). The series includes Backyard Baseball, Backyard Basketball, Backyard Football (American football), Backyard Soccer, Backyard Hockey (Ice hockey), and Backyard Skateboarding. In the games, players form a team consisting of Backyard Kids and pro players, which they take through a "Backyard League" season, attempting to become the champions.
