Play Backyard Baseball '10 (OneUp) Online

Backyard Baseball '10 on the DS is basically the same goofy, low-stakes baseball fun you remember from the old PC games, but now it fits in your pocket. You pick a team of kids (or mix in some MLB pros if you want), choose a backyard-style field with ridiculous obstacles, and just swing away. The controls are simple—no complicated button combos here—but there’s still some strategy in picking your lineup or deciding when to steal bases.

The graphics are cartoony and bright, and the commentary is full of cheesy kid-friendly jokes. It’s not super deep, but that’s kind of the point—you can play a full game in like 15 minutes, which makes it perfect for quick sessions. If you ever spent hours on the original Backyard Sports games, this one’s a nice little nostalgia hit.
