This week I'll post one of my favourite sports games of all time. ... Seriously! "Nintendo World Cup" "Wikipedia" wrote:Nintendo World Cup is a football (soccer) video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy, developed by Technos and released in 1990. It is a localization of Nekketsu KÅkÅ Dodgeball Bu: Soccer Hen (ç†±è¡€é«˜æ ¡ãƒ‰ãƒƒã‚¸ãƒœãƒ¼ãƒ«éƒ¨ã‚µãƒƒã‚«ãƒ¼ç·¨ , Nekketsu KÅkÅ DojjibÅru Bu Sakka Hen, lit. "Hot Blood High School Dodge Ball Club: Soccer Edition"), the fourth Kunio-kun game released for the Famicom.
At its core, the game follows the rules of soccer, but with noticeable differences. Each team has only six players (a goalkeeper, two defenders, a midfielder and two forwards). Offsides are non-existent, and fouls are not punished, which makes them the most effective way to take the ball away from the opponent; furthermore, if a player is fouled a lot of times, he will pass out and stay down until the next throw-in or corner kick close to where the player was fouled, goal, or the end of the half. However, this cannot happen to a human-controlled player. To add to the surreal gameplay, players can also use up to five "super shots" per half; these powerful, odd-looking shots are used whenever a player does an overhead kick or a headbutt, or when he shoots after walking a certain number of steps. Read more.What I exactly like about that game? ... Where should I start? It's everything. The facial expression of the players when they are fouled or a super shot hits them.  Hilarious! :lol: I have so many fond memories about this game. Playing together with others, kick and foul them till 2 or 3 players lie around on the field. Aah, good times. :o Boxart is again totally different in Japan and the rest of the world:     Realistic Soccer with an International Flavor it says... :lol:

When a friend of mine asked me if we ought to have a "NES Night", and I was totally in for it. He brought all the things he could possibly find and we started gaming. He brought the "Nintendo World Cup" with him, and I wasn't that excited, because I usually don't like sport games. He told me to trust him on this one. We started playing in multiplayer mode, and boy was it fun! It kicked ass! The gameplay was awesome and the characters had a resemblace to the RCR characters, which was cool. He showed me a lot of tricks at this game. For example to do a backflip and kick the ball. Overall, a great game.
Good pick, manuel. :wink:
Actually, not all was thinking. Some was plotting, some was planning, and finally the explaining of my plan which I plotted after I thought of it.

ahhh... the JPN-USA box/cart art change always amuses me. The famicom version of a game (just about any FC game) could have a cute little SD dude doing crazy stuff, but the art depatment of NoA would create the most painstaking paintings of the same character, looking more realistic doing something "Epic". Wouldnt it be easier, not to mention cheaper just to import the cute little guy artwork?
ahhh... 1980s america.
nonetheless, this is still one of my favorite Nekketsu games (My number 1 fave being super dodgeball)
and remember...
BAARRRRF!

Haha, that's brilliant. NWC is a funny game, good for a laugh. The thought of it being realistic though... hahaha.
