It's no Baseball Stars, but for those of you craving a good portable baseball game, Dorabase DS might be your best bet. The game is set from a Japanese manga of the same name (sans the "DS" part), featuring a baseball loving, cat-like robot named Kuroemon and his team.We recently told you about another baseball game called Famitsa DS, but unlike its sounds-like-a-Japanese-magazine counterpart, Dorabase DS utilizes stylus controls. For example, the ball is hit or pitched depending on the direction of the line drawn with the stylus. We know we made that sound as lame as possible, but the controls actually appear to be easy and natural.
Another nice thing about Dorabase DS is the Kuroemon themed, screen cleaning strap "reservation gift" (pictured after the break). Of course, this is (currently) a Japan-only title, so if it strikes your fancy, you'll have to import it come December.
Check out some game-related pictures after the break.

If this is anything like the manga, that would make this game something like the Mario Kart of baseball games, with items and crazy stuff

My pre-order for Famista DS should arrive in a week or two. I can't wait to play online. I'm glad I have two DS lites, I'll probably end-up throwing one against the wall.

the stylus controls look really well thought out, espically if they work well. stylus controls on MLB 2K8 were horriable. and the stylus controls on Power Pro Pocket 9 was pretty much non existant, wish they'd add them in to 10 (coming very soon).
