Before you know it, February is already over.
Just one year ago was around the time the 2023 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC, the world baseball tournament that all of Japan was obsessed with, was being held.
The Japanese national team, featuring talented players centered around Yu Darvish and Shohei Ohtani, who recently announced his marriage, achieved their first championship in three tournaments.
When baseball gets exciting, baseball games get exciting too.
Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd.'s Professional Baseball Spirits A started the 2013 JAPAN Selection on Thursday, February 29, 2024.

Power Pros 30th Anniversary x Pro Spirits 20th Anniversary
2024 is an anniversary year marking the 30th anniversary of the Power Powerful Pro Baseball series and the 20th anniversary of the Professional Baseball Spirits series.
To commemorate this, Shohei Ohtani, who is expected to perform well with his new team, the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been appointed as the Power Pros 30th Anniversary x Pro Spirits 20th Anniversary Ambassador.
There is no shortage of topics, such as Ohtani's beloved dog Decoy being mischievous with a Power Pros-kun plushie, but various projects are being prepared for his role as an ambassador in the future.
While supporting Ohtani's performance, let's also look forward to these special projects!
