this was announced in the JP Nintendo Direct & I think it bears highlighting: Konami's making a new Pawapuro-kun Pocket (a 1+2 remake, actually) for the first time in a decade 🇯🇵 unlike Momotetsu, Girls Side, etc I think this stands a chance of localisation
Pawapuro-kun Pocket is the handheld companion series to Pawapuro and much like the GBC/A Mario sports games, the draw is all the extra stuff that's not baseball, but these games went much wilder than Mario ever did, both in terms of side content & the weirdly dark scenarios
Konami partnered with 2K to release MLB-licensed versions of some of the mainline games during the Wii era and they didn't take, but I think the silliness and not-really-a-baseball-game elements of the Pocket series could very easily find an audience overseas nowadays
they've already confirmed they're not using licensed characters for these remakes, too, so that helps
...but it's probably wishful thinking on my part, Konami's approach nowadays delineates hard between Japan/Not Japan & idk how interested they are in breaking old IP anymore
