Description
"Nintendo World Cup" is a soccer video game developed by Technōs Japan Corporation and released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1990. It is part of the Kunio-kun series, which includes other sports titles and beat 'em up games known for their whimsical character designs and arcade-inspired gameplay. In "Nintendo World Cup," players can control a high school soccer team as they compete against various international teams with the ultimate aim of winning the World Cup. While the basic objective mirrors traditional soccer—to score goals and win matches—the game is distinguished by its exaggerated, comedic animations and flexibility in the rules, allowing for a more entertaining and less conventional sports experience.
The gameplay in "Nintendo World Cup" supports up to four players simultaneously, making it one of the early NES games to offer multiplayer fun via the NES Four Score accessory. Players choose from 13 different international teams, each with unique players that exhibit distinct abilities and characteristics. The game deviates from realistic soccer simulations by incorporating special moves that defy typical physical constraints, adding a humorous and unpredictable element to matches. Field conditions also affect gameplay, with surfaces like ice or dirt impacting the ball's movement and players’ traction. This title was well-received for its engaging multiplayer mode and its quirky take on soccer, setting it apart from more traditional sports games of the time.
