Simple DS Sports shows a bit of complexity

Simple DS Vol. 29: THE Sports Daishuugo may turn out to be the low-rent waste of a budget price that other Simple series games tend to be. But, at least in screenshots, it still looks pretty nice!

It's not just that the game obviously apes Wii Sports's style. It seems that our enjoyment of Nintendo's Wii pack-in has made us more receptive of sports games in general, and cutesy ones in particular. Our eyes are opened to the possibility of baseball maybe being kind of fun.

The screenshot pictured shows that THE Sports Daishuugo doesn't take the simplistic approach that Wii Sports does; without motion controls, the game opts instead for directional-pad control of finer aspects of gameplay. In this screen, for example, d-pad directions choose different styles of pitching.
