Sumo is not just about pushing harder. Outlast your opponent with timing, balance, and technique—and other wrestlers keep living in the same era as you. In SUMO KINGDOM, you use push, pull, thrust, lock, and leg techniques in each bout. Push too much and you run out of stamina—brute force alone will not carry you to victory. Honbasho now runs every division across the full schedule. Check today’s card, watch key bouts, take your own match, then reveal the rest. After senshuraku, every rank updates—plus new recruits, retirements, and renames—on an east–west banzuke that carries into the next basho. Train in practice, fight in tournaments, and climb the rankings. At Juryo and above, chase championships, playoffs, and special prizes. Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese are supported. No account or tracking. On iOS and Mac, you may optionally buy Sandanme or Makushita tsukedashi as a consumable debut path. Mae-zumo is free. While you watch a honbasho bout or observe practice, we may show ads introducing real products. Progress is saved on your device for quick sessions anytime.

Your player’s baseball career keeps moving, even when the app is closed. Widget Baseball is a single-player career simulation built around your Home Screen. Create a fictional player, choose how they train and compete, then follow every game, promotion, award, and turning point from the app or widget. TWO WAYS TO BEGIN • Start as a Pro Create a hitter or pitcher, complete five initial training sessions, enter the draft, and begin your first 143-game season the next morning. • Start in Youth Baseball Begin in first grade and progress through 12 in-game days. Choose training priorities, schools, and career paths; face rivals and injuries; chase regional titles and Koshien; then carry the same history and abilities into the pro draft. A CAREER THAT MOVES WITH THE CLOCK Games progress automatically from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. One real day is one pro season—or one school year in the youth career. Open the app whenever you like to review every result and decision. FOLLOW THE ACTION FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN The medium widget shows your player, club, current level, season progress, recent results, key stats, goals, and major career events. With two player slots unlocked, place two widgets and choose a different player for each. BUILD A COMPLETE BASEBALL STORY • Hitters, starters, relievers, and closers • Fictional Japanese and North American clubs • First Team, Farm Team, Major, and Minor careers • Trades, free agency, contract decisions, promotions, and demotions • Postseason series and the World Series • Detailed season and career statistics • Awards, records, milestones, rivals, and retirement stories • Optional Game Center rankings for season, career, amateur, and individual-stat records • iCloud backup through Game Center Saved Games, plus manual save export and import LANGUAGE SUPPORT Switch between Japanese and English on the title screen or at any time in Settings. The selected language is also used by the widget. FULL ACCESS — ONE-TIME PURCHASE The free version includes one professional player and the youth career through elementary school. The non-consumable Full Access purchase permanently unlocks junior-high and high-school play, a second simultaneous player, and overseas free agency for all current and future players. Full Access is not an ad-removal product. Optional special-training sessions require one rewarded video each for both free and paid players. Regular games, statistics, widgets, and normal career progress do not show ads. No account is required. All teams and players are fictional.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SUMO KINGDOM at none against Widget Baseball's shown. SUMO KINGDOM also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Widget Baseball's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 80%). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
