How to Play the Nintendo DS Wiffle Ball Game

The Nintendo DS Wiffle Ball game made a name for itself as one of the most hard-to-control games available for the portable system. Much of the confusion lies in the batting portion. For instance, because the pitcher does not automatically throw the ball, you must signal the game to begin pitching. Take the time to learn the game's controls before hopping into a virtual backyard game of wiffle ball.
