 World Stadium EX is perhaps one of the best/funnest baseball games ever. Well, 
at least since SNK Baseball Stars. Here is the best I can figure for some of the 
game's more confusing and neccisary menu's. My Japanese is limited so if you 
have more info, email me please! (what does that mini game unlock for Pete's 
sake?!)
