Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Let's CATCH is a quirky little game about playing catch developed in 2008 by Yuji Naka and his company Prope and published by SEGA for the Nintendo Wii via WiiWare. It is loosely related to the minigame collection Let's TAP, also developed by Prope.In Let's CATCH, a player and an NPC (or another player) take turns throwing and catching a baseball. By using the A and B buttons with motion controls, the player can throw the ball to their teammate, and by pressing the A and B buttons they can catch the ball on a return throw. The force with which the player throws the ball and the timing with which they catch it are graded, with better grades granting more points. The aim of the game is to get a high score while avoiding running out of throws, missing throws/catches, and reaching score checkpoints in time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The main mode of the game is Story Mode, where the unnamed player plays catch with some local residents in the park. As the player and their companion play, the companion will gradually open up to the player and talk to them during the game. As Story Mode progresses, new characters of varying difficulties unlock, and a surprisingly sophisticated story about love and relationships in a small Japanese town begins to unfold.In addition to the the main mode, the game also features more conventional "game" modes, including Nine Trial, where up to four players compete to knock out nine panels from a board with baseball throws, and Bomber Catch, a Hot Potato-style minigame where players play catch with a live bomb and aim to be the last one standing.

comment
Relationship Values: Each character in Story Mode has a Friendship Gauge. Playing catch with them long enough and reaching specific lines of text grants a star and increases the Friendship level. Friendship also acts as checkpoints, determining which line of text they restart from if a session ends early, and maxing Friendship with a character unlocks a new character or expands interations with a previous one.

Rejected Marriage Proposal: Misaki is in a relationship with a man she graduated college with, but she notes that their relationship has gone on "a little too long". She reveals that he ended up proposing to her, but she wasn't ready to accept and turned him down. Further complicating matters is that she has a crush on one of her co-workers, and a married man at that...

Bratty Half-Pint: Ai. She's more or less emotionally cut herself off from her father, Watanabe, and callously remarks that he should just get remarried if he misses his wife so much. When pressed on what she really wants instead of her mom, she claims that she'd rather have a cell phone.

When You Coming Home, Dad?: Yuto's father is noted to be a heavy workaholic, to the point where he moved out of the house for work purposes. Yuto only sees his dad once a month, if he's lucky. Playing catch with Kobayashi reveals that he didn't move out for work purposes; while he is a workaholic, he actually moved out due to relationship troubles with his wife.

Unusually Uninteresting Sight
 Let's CATCH (Video Game) / int_d99a228f
comment
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: During Story Mode, spending enough time with a companion will prompt a UFO to show up and start hovering around; striking it with your baseball counts as a missed throw. Bizarrely, absolutely no one comments on this and continues talking (and throwing) as if it wasn't there.
