Atsumare! Power Pro Kun no DS Koushien (あつまれ!パワプロクンのDS甲子園) is a role-playing video game baseball game for the Nintendo DS. It is developed by Power Pros Production, the development-unit from Konami developing the Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū series and Power Pro Kun Pocket series, and it is treated as the sequel of Power Pocket Koushien. Players take control of high school baseball team in Japan, either as a player on the team or as a manager, and attempt to lead that team to the National High School Baseball Championship at Koshien Stadium. While adding the Wi-Fi versus mode (first in Konami's handheld baseball game), most of the feature from the presequel, including voice commentary, are kept.
It is not treated as a title from the Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū series nor the Power Pro Kun Pocket series, even its presequel was a Power Pro Kun Pocket series entry.
Note: Currently Konami has removed the Power Pocket Koushien from Power Pro Kun Pocket series entry, as having no connection of the Power Pro Kun Pocket series' storyline.
Gameplay
Koshien Mode
Koshien Mode is the main single-player mode of the game, and takes the place of the "Success Mode" from other Power Pro games. The player takes the role of either the manager of a high school team (for a period of ten years) or a player on the team (for one year, as starting at the point after the summer national tournament in 2nd year). Either role involves assigning training tasks to the players on the team to improve their skill, and both have as their goal winning either the spring or summer national tournament.
Baseball players (in either mode) who participated in a tournament can be saved to make original teams which can be used in the other game modes or in other Power Pro installments.
Wi-Fi Mode
The game also supports the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and players can play single matches or tournaments against other players using their original teams.
