Game Overview

Nikkan Berutomo Club is one of those weird little Game Boy games you stumble across and think, "Wait, what is this?" It’s a Japanese sports sim where you manage a team of athletes—probably based on real-life '90s sports stars, though good luck recognizing them unless you were deep into Japanese sports back then.

The gameplay’s all about training and strategy, like a stripped-down coaching sim you could fit in your pocket. No fancy graphics or over-the-top action, just menus, stats, and that satisfying retro hum of making your team slightly less terrible. It’s got that unmistakable "obscure Japanese Game Boy game" vibe—charmingly simple, a little confusing at first, and oddly addictive once you get the hang of it.

Definitely not for everyone, but if you’re the type who digs weird retro oddities, this one’s a neat time capsule. Just don’t expect it to explain itself—half the fun is figuring out what you’re even doing.
