Powerful Pro Baseball Eikan Nine Crossroad coming to Switch

Previously announced for mobile, Powerful Pro Baseball Eikan Nine Crossroad has now been confirmed for consoles – including Switch. A release date of September 20 has thus far only been shared for the mobile version in Japan.

Konami has now shared the following information, courtesy of Gematsu:

Eikan Nine is a mode in which you become a high school baseball coach, train your team, and lead them to the Koshien Japan National High School Baseball Tournament.

Powerful Pro Baseball Eikan Nine Crossroad retains the traditional Eikan Nine setup, but adds new elements for even deeper team building, including “Scholarship Students,” “Growth Board,” and “Rival Schools.”

Key Features

• Eikan Nine – Lead the team to victory as a coach, including daily practice and game strategy, with the goal of reaching the Koshien Japan National High School Baseball Tournament.
• Scout Scholarship Students – With the new scholarship student scouting system, you can scout familiar characters from the Powerful Pro series as players and managers. Scout characters can join the coach’s baseball team (in Eikan Nine) as “scholarship students.”
• Stadium Koshien League – Play in the Koshien League with an “Eikan Team” saved after the Eikan Nine mode summer tournament. Join the Higher Leagues and earn rewards.
• Stadium Eikan Tower – Play Eikan Tower with an “Arranged Team” made up of players who go pro in Eikan Nine mode. Clear each floor of the tower’s theme to obtain materials and items usable in Eikan Mode.

Powerful Pro Baseball Eikan Nine Crossroad will be available as a free-to-play game with in-app purchases. Access the official website here.
