WBSC eBaseball: Power Pros to be delisted, online servers shutting down
The World Baseball Softball Confederation has announced that WBSC eBaseball: Power Pros is to be delisted from all platforms on January 30, 2026, with online servers shutting down on March 31, 2026. The title is currently still available to purchase on the Nintendo eShop for $0.99.
WBSC eBaseball: Power Pros originally shadow dropped on February 8, 2023 worldwide as a surprise announcement from Konami. This release was especially notable as the series had typically only stayed in Japan. There isn’t a specific reason detailed for why the game will be shutting down, but the WBSC have already mentioned the plans for a successor in the game series.
