Sunday x Magazine: Nettou! Dream Nine

About

Sunday x Magazine: Nettou! Dream Nine is a baseball game for Nintendo DS developed by Pawapuro Productions and released by Konami in 2009. Part of the 50th-anniversary celebration for Weekly Shōnen Sunday and Weekly Shōnen Magazine, it features crossover characters from various manga series. Players manage teams and simulate games using touchscreen controls, with stars from H2, Touch, and Diamond no Ace, plus guest appearances from non-baseball franchises. The game stands out for its roster including characters from Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Ranma ½, and Detective Conan. While mechanics stick to standard baseball simulation, the novelty of seeing beloved manga heroes on the field adds charm. Niche in scope, it appeals to fans of both sports games and the included series. Limited online presence and a small but dedicated community keep it as a quirky entry in Konami’s DS catalog. Its blend of sport and pop culture nostalgia offers a unique experience for those who find it.
