Most baseball games of the early 2000s chased major league licenses, but Little League Baseball 2002 went the other way, putting youth teams on the field instead of professional rosters. It was published by NewKidCo, a company that specialized in games aimed at younger players, and appeared on the Game Boy Advance in 2002.
The pitch is simple: a straightforward arcade-style game of baseball with kid teams, short innings and controls kept light so that a young player can get a hit without studying a manual. Pitching, batting and fielding follow the familiar handheld formula, with the camera behind the plate at bat and switching to a field view when the ball is in play. It is a modest release with little of the depth found in simulation-minded rivals such as Baseball Advance or the All-Star Baseball series, but it fills a niche those games ignored. A 2003 follow-up continued the line.
Tips for Little League Baseball 2002
Swing timing matters more than power, so watch the pitch leave the hand rather than mashing the button.
Throw to the base ahead of the lead runner instead of chasing a runner who is already safe.
