The “Super Soccer” game for the Super Nintendo was a nostalgic experience for me after playing “FC25.” The primitive graphics and unique camera angle added to the charm of the game, despite the limitations compared to modern EA Sports soccer games. Dribbling was challenging, and the player numbering sometimes interfered with gameplay. While the game’s visuals may not hold up to today’s standards, the fast-paced action and competitiveness remain captivating.
I also noticed peculiarities in gameplay, such as corner kicks and goalie control, which added to the game’s unpredictability. One aspect that I found lacking in soccer video games is the representation of female stars on the covers. Players like Lauren Hemp and Khadija Shaw deserve recognition on game covers, like in “FC26,” to reflect the diversity and talent of women in the sport.
Overall, revisiting “Super Soccer” was a trip down memory lane, highlighting the evolution of soccer games over the years. The game may not be as polished as modern releases, but its enduring appeal and quirky gameplay elements make it a worthy addition to any retro gaming collection.
