What were your favourite SNES football games? And what system had the better ones, SNES or Mega Drive? Have a shout about it here, and thanks for watching. :)
International Superstar Soccer Deluxe was my childhood...."No foul?"......"is Batman doomed?", I'd always reply....followed by a slap from my mate for saying the line... Also, did you get your intro music from BBC's 101 Great Goals?
Highlights of my month is when you release a new video always a great watch and presented with such expertise and professionalism , as always thanks for doing what you do Kim
For me its got to be Striker, that had the best cup league setups for all your mates to join for the cup. It also had an indoor pitch for the extra fun of kicking it against the wall to pass players.
ISS Deluxe was by far my favourite footy game on the SNES, I've played most variants of it ever since. Striker was also a whole lot of fun and was a good arcade style option. On the Megadrive I had the original Fifa before I ever owned a SNES and throroughly enjoyed it. My 2nd choice footy game on the MD was one you may find harder to wrap your head around, it was Super Kick Off 😅Back in the day when I had an 8 bit micro (Amstrad CPC 664) a couple of wealthy mates who had an Amiga and an Atari ST respectively. They both had Kick Off 2 and we all had a firecely competive rivalry on Dino's old game. At this point I had never seen Sensi Soccer but I did get to play it a bit later on. In my teens I bought both Super Kick Off and Speedball 2 for the Megadrive while on a bit of a nostalgia trip for games of my past and I must admit I did get a decent amount of enjoyable play out of both especially head to head with friends (which is surely the defining qulaity of any good footy game). I've watched pretty all of your footy game videos as over the years I've played a ridiclulous amount of them on a wide variety of platforms myself so it's nice to see them again, even the real stinkers 😆. Thanks for indulging my nostalgia for oldskool video game culture, your videos are great.
Never had a SNES Kim, but I’d happily watch a video about you reading the phone directory! Loved it and loved seeing the footie games I missed out on while having an Amiga. Thank you.
I'm not into football games at all but I really enjoyed this video. It's quite captivating to listen to someone with true passion for the subject. Good job, Kim.
@@nWg2000 Can I just point out that when you watch a lot of early 90s football in Europe 🇪🇺 & England 🏴 I can't help but notice A LOT of SEGA on tge advertising boards that magically disappeared during the saturn era before SEGA/DREAMCAST advertising reappeared at football matches on some football kits in the late 90s. While sony PlayStation advertising has been a mainstay of advertising champions league boards since the mid 90s 😁😁😁. Not SNES related but I wanted to mention that. I even seen sega advertising before Euro 92 once.
ISS was king for me. Started my love for the franchise. Also loved Sensi obviously but World Cup 94 was a gem and had a lot of depth if you gave it time.
Awesome video! 16 bit soccer games are the best, they play like games and not simulations, and thats why I love them! On the super famicom, I really like captain tsubasa games and ISS, I play them to this day.
Kevin Keegan's Player Manager was great. I will not allow this blasphemy to stand. You didn't have to watch the matches, you could run a simulation that would give the result quickly. It had great scouting and a killer soundtrack still burned into my mind today. It compiled and stored your records such as top scorers etc. Had sponsorship deals and stadium expansion. Your son would appear for transfer once your 'player-manager' character got too old. Multiple divisions and cups. Build a dynasty. It was great for the early 1990s. You have done a fine game a great disservice. Read the instructions manual if you don't know how to play! Have you forgotten what life was like back then? CVG rated this game 95%. Wrap your head around that. (If true. Based on a half-assed Google search) Great video though. Great memories. Cheers as always.
Yeah big mistake playing/watching the matches Kim, especially to an anti-Kick Off mark as yourself! I imagine it was another shamless attempt by Anco / Dino to force-feed us Kick Off but that was by far the weakest part of the game. It was literally all we had on the SNES, but totally agreed it was actually pretty decent - not quite 95% mind! Although you could make your own club / kits and player which was pretty unique for a management sim. And how about the loading times eh?! I've never known a cartridge game to have such long times when ol' Kev was thinking LOL
@@nWg2000 if you hovered over the clock and kept pressing b, the match day would load quicker, at least that's what a 12 year old me thought at the time!
Off topic but thanks for the reminder of Super football champ on arcade. I've spent recent years believing that Super Sidekicks was the game I remember spending my entire piggyback on in the 90s, and while I definitely came across that NeoGeo classic, it was Football Champ I really remember. Similar games but this is definitely the one.
Amazing video Kim, as always. Have you considered looking at every Game Boy (original) football game? I've played some recently and while none I played are particularly good, some are very interesting in how they deal with low specs and small screen. One called Football International was especially interesting (zooming outside when a ball is kicked hard). Fifa 98 and ISS are interesting efforts too. Oh, and GBA football games might be interesting too - I've not played them yet, but noticed recently there's quite a few, including - bafflingly - a Premier Manager.
I was rewatching your football videos the other day and was wondering if you'd ever do another. Then an hour long epic on Super Nintendo football games is delivered to me. 16-bit nightmare fuel Kevin Keegan would be proud
I've never played a footie game in my life and was a Sega kid. Why am i watching this ? The story. I always enjoy the fruits of your research, Kim, even if I'm not really hot on the topic, or it doesn't really fit in my wheelhouse, i like the stories. 😻
Great video as always. I just wanted to add a bit of information to the ISS segment: the Japanese version of ISS, called Jikkyou World Soccer Perfect Eleven, has an intro scene, live commentary and BATTERY SAVE. Yeah, not those long ass passwords.
Never had a Snes but for me the best footieball game of the era has to be Martin Keown's Pass Tackle Pass shoot The ingredients of football on the Mega CD,still a classic for me Clive.
Striker was a lot of fun back in the day, i have been trying to remember the name of this game for a while to play it again lol, im glad i watched your vid. Great overview on the snes football games btw, thanks!
All of the old footy games go the same. You struggle till you find out how to steal a ball and how to score a goal... then you win by ridiculous margins depending on how long the matches are haha. I really only played Super Soccer and ISS on the SNES and with ISS once I figured out sprint down the sideline and lob it infront of the goal then head it in the near or far corner I became unstoppable. Just works every time.
I remember playing Kevin Keegans manager whilst listening to Oasis' B sides. It was all I had management wise and I enjoyed it. I don't remember where I got it from but I think it must have been with a bunch of games my pal lent me with his super wild card.
Loved Sensi to bits, wasn't really a fan of many others, though I never really gravitated to footy games - I bloody LOVED Nintendo World Cup on the NES though. Bonus points for Rik Mayall on the thumbnail, n'yes.
Striker and World Cup Striker were my two favourites on the SNES. I'll add Fever Pitch Soccer also for it's graphics and gameplay, but it was a difficult game to master.
As a child i also did not understand Kevin Keegans player management. But i did play it a lot since it was the game i got with my SNES. At some point i began to get a bit better at it. But yeah it gave me a headache and i was happy when i was a few years older and bought FIFA '97
Kick Off 3 will always hold a special place for me. Being 2-0 up at half time against my dad and him rage quitting will be a memory I'll always remember.
18:22 KEEGAN, HODDLE, PLATT, ADAMS, WALKER i know platt , Walker played with Adams during 1990 WC but Hoodle was 86 and Keegan was 82 surprised Bobby Gordon Banks wasn’t in goal EDIT 19:24 in fact forget it as I just saw Jackie Charlton in defence
Nice. I like retro sports games more than modern ones these days. Have you tried the football games on the neo geo? I've been having some fun with those.
Awesome vid as usual! It's definitely nice seeing more stuff like this get the spotlight, especially when it comes to some of the more obscure stuff; Dolucky and Ace Striker in particular were some rather nice surprises in terms of quality, and seeing the always fascinating EA Japan duology get covered is definitely a treat. One little factoid regarding J.League Super Soccer/Virtual Soccer is that, like a few other early-ish J.League games, it was actually developed by a Western company, in this case none other than Probe, as they'd done a few things for Hudson around the same time. It is also amusingly another one of the titles to feature the famed Fergus McGovern head, via a cheat that replaces the ball with it, and it was one that for the longest time wasn't really known; I saw it via a comment left by one of the original programmers on a vid documenting some of the other Fergus cameos. It is a shame that the game itself is pretty unremarkable, but oh well. Sidekicks Soccer is also an interesting one in that it had a few different regional variants, with its own sets of teams and such, with one of the more notable ones being Super Copa, one of the very few South American-exclusive SNES releases (in a similar vein to the two Chavez games, and from the same publisher, even)
Captain Tsubasa 3 was great! I played a barely translated version bought in South America. The music was on fire! Super Soccer had odd charms but doesn't hold up.
I’m not really into sports games and really not into soccer. The SNES sports game I played the most was an NCAA basketball game as basketball was the game I played the most in my youth but when I got more games like RPGs I never went back.
God I love these videos. I don't like football and I don't like football games but I love hearing you talk about football games. I hope you one day get to the later systems like PS3 and XBOX360; when Fifa had pretty much slain all it's rivals. I am wondering if there was actually any alternative or not. Excited to see.
I have no interest in football what so ever and for some reason watched an hour long video about football video games and really enjoyed it. Thanks Kim
You saying that Megaman Soccer feels rushed isn't wrong, as it contains one of my favourite gaming oversights of all time that show just how little quality control and polish went into it. The ending doesn't work. For both Championship and Tournament modes, there are endings that are supposed to play after you win the final match, but after finishing either mode you are just sent back to the title screen. You have to use an Action Replay or use a ROM hack to actually see the endings.
Great video Kim. Does anyone remember a game maybe for the Atari/Amiga where you could play street football but there was a parked car right across the kerb and in the way?
the best thing about ISS was the small details, like a pony tail on a certain italian player, but to be fair, the best soccer game ever made was SEIBU CUP SOCCER and it never had a home port and that is sad.
Do you Eurocats play American football games at all? I know it's not popular outside the states besides a few odd countries (Canada, Australia, etc). Do you open up old Madden's n' 2Ks like I do Cricket/Rugby games out of curiousity?
Ever done a Nintendo 64 game? Honestly, my holy grail of Football on Nintendo consoles is : World Cup 98 (N64), then World Cup Soccer by Tecnos on NES ... that's pretty muh it!
As a red blooded American I of course don't give rat's behind about soccer... but... I will watch just about anything by you Kim... The fact I have watched long discussions about games for systems I have absolutely 0 experience with like ZX Spectrum and all the micro computers, I mean I did have a computer in that era, but it was an Apple IIe... I love your channel and your passion for the material basically have made me a fan of it all, if mostly vicariously. You are the best!
I might have to actually say this a bit quietly then...I actually quite liked Kick off 3! once you get past how limited it is... Great video again though! Talking of point and click football games, have you ever played any of the Pro evolution soccer games on the WII? They don't slow the game down at all and its more like playing command and conquer on a football pitch!
🤣🤣in Brazil we have some football moulded SNES game called campeonato brasileiro 96,97 and 98 , they are best known as Ronaldo soccer 97 or 98 . In this mod SNES games we gotta our national League and plus many other South American football teams from Argentina , Chile , Paraguay , Uruguay and Colombia.
I know Super Soccer isn't the best footie on the snes but can we take a few moments to recognise how amazing the music is on that game...one of the best OSTs on the system imo :)
Can I just point out that when you watch a lot of early 90s football in Europe 🇪🇺 & England 🏴 I can't help but notice A LOT of SEGA on tge advertising boards that magically disappeared during the saturn era before SEGA/DREAMCAST advertising reappeared at football matches on some football kits in the late 90s.

I even seen sega advertising before Euro 92 once.
IMO Match Day 2 (Spectrum) Kick Off 2 (Amiga) SWOS (Amiga) and PES6 (PC) are the best games ever made and still all playable today. The size of the football on the J League Excite Stage games is massive lol
What were your favourite SNES football games? And what system had the better ones, SNES or Mega Drive? Have a shout about it here, and thanks for watching. :)
International Superstar Soccer Deluxe was my childhood...."No foul?"......"is Batman doomed?", I'd always reply....followed by a slap from my mate for saying the line...
Also, did you get your intro music from BBC's 101 Great Goals?
It wasn't the best but I used to love super soccer. My friend had it and we'd have tournaments after school. Good times.
Striker, ISS Deluxe and Super Soccer Champ on import
World Cup Striker. Also have rose tinted spectacles for Super Soccer. Never could get into FIFA until the GameCube.
World Cup Italia '90
...that's where it starts and ends for me
I dread to to think how many hours of my youth was spent on the brilliant ISS series, starting with ISS Deluxe. Great video, Kim.
Thanks
Highlights of my month is when you release a new video always a great watch and presented with such expertise and professionalism , as always thanks for doing what you do Kim
For me its got to be Striker, that had the best cup league setups for all your mates to join for the cup. It also had an indoor pitch for the extra fun of kicking it against the wall to pass players.
Quality game, loved the 5 aside pitch 🤣 absolutely class
I always found it funny that the theme tune to the SNES version of Sensible Soccer sounds like it was lifted from a Battletoads game 🤣
I see what you mean: it’s mainly because of the similarities in the basslines (pulsing on the same note with a synth bass patch for a bar at a time).
ISS Deluxe was by far my favourite footy game on the SNES, I've played most variants of it ever since. Striker was also a whole lot of fun and was a good arcade style option.

Fantastic, just seeing ISS Deluxe takes me back to simpler (I think) times especially with the commentary and sound effects.
Never had a SNES Kim, but I’d happily watch a video about you reading the phone directory! Loved it and loved seeing the footie games I missed out on while having an Amiga. Thank you.
I'm not into football games at all but I really enjoyed this video. It's quite captivating to listen to someone with true passion for the subject. Good job, Kim.
Ahhh. Mid 90s Italian football memories. A great time in English football.
Makes you wonder why the snotty Premier League never cashed in on the SNES...

You how difficult it is to find decent pdfs of manuals for any retro game?
Love these football retrospectives, always amazed by the choice there was for us
Your videos / documentaries are the best kim ..like a big hug of retro love ..so excited to watch all of this bad boy

48:22 If you score against yourself in Tony Meola's you celebrate your own goal! Brilliant programming and bug testing.

Looking forward to watching this Kim, thanks so much as per - OG Content Legend👑
This is outstanding Kim even by your standards
Another superb long video.. that hour flew past! An Amiga video would be great I’d love that!!
Great video Kim, thanks for everything you do:)

Kim, you are a solid-gold legend, thank you!
Ball-ball-ball...
I would love it! if I could go back and play Keegan's Manager game again.
Great video Kim
Super impressive! I had no interest in any Soccer outside of Tecmo Cup & Sensible Soccer, but you even presented a few I’m curious about now!
A league table ranking system for these games would have been a lovely touch. Great video Kim.
Loved Sensi to bits, wasn't really a fan of many others, though I never really gravitated to footy games - I bloody LOVED Nintendo World Cup on the NES though. Bonus points for Rik Mayall on the thumbnail, n'yes.
Love your vids mate, really enjoyable, particularly the footy ones. Always a bring a good chuckle!
Striker and World Cup Striker were my two favourites on the SNES. I'll add Fever Pitch Soccer also for it's graphics and gameplay, but it was a difficult game to master.
Most importantly.. I wish we had a game of James Richardsons' Laconic Lazy Sunday with Espresso - GOALAZO!
All your points about super soccer is accurate but love the individual. The music. And best of all the two v computer option was always a laugh.
Great stuff, love these videos Kim. I never had a SNES, so it's always interesting to watch videos like this 👍
Two games that spring to mind, Sensible Soccer and Striker!💪🏼⚽️
As a child i also did not understand Kevin Keegans player management. But i did play it a lot since it was the game i got with my SNES. At some point i began to get a bit better at it. But yeah it gave me a headache and i was happy when i was a few years older and bought FIFA '97
great video. some proper throwbacks! ⚽
A Sensible Soccer fan! Automatic like received (though the video deserves a like anyway).
Kick Off 3 will always hold a special place for me. Being 2-0 up at half time against my dad and him rage quitting will be a memory I'll always remember.
Keggy Keegle, Rik Mayall and Adam and Joe in the intro? Good work.
Take a look at PC-Engine or one of the Nintendo handhelds.
Has to be some interresting stuff to find there and talk about.
18:22
KEEGAN, HODDLE, PLATT, ADAMS, WALKER
i know platt , Walker played with Adams during 1990 WC but Hoodle was 86 and Keegan was 82
surprised Bobby Gordon Banks wasn’t in goal
EDIT
19:24 in fact forget it as I just saw Jackie Charlton in defence
There was no "Hat Trick Hero '93" on the SNES, that was the Arcade version. SNES had "Hat Trick Hero" And "Hat Trick Hero 2".
Nice. I like retro sports games more than modern ones these days. Have you tried the football games on the neo geo? I've been having some fun with those.
Great video, as ever, Kim - nice one!
funny how tsubasa last game was like the cartoon, we were always joking that they must be playing on a hill since the goal frame goes under horizon
Awesome vid as usual! It's definitely nice seeing more stuff like this get the spotlight, especially when it comes to some of the more obscure stuff; Dolucky and Ace Striker in particular were some rather nice surprises in terms of quality, and seeing the always fascinating EA Japan duology get covered is definitely a treat.
One little factoid regarding J.League Super Soccer/Virtual Soccer is that, like a few other early-ish J.League games, it was actually developed by a Western company, in this case none other than Probe, as they'd done a few things for Hudson around the same time. It is also amusingly another one of the titles to feature the famed Fergus McGovern head, via a cheat that replaces the ball with it, and it was one that for the longest time wasn't really known; I saw it via a comment left by one of the original programmers on a vid documenting some of the other Fergus cameos. It is a shame that the game itself is pretty unremarkable, but oh well.
Sidekicks Soccer is also an interesting one in that it had a few different regional variants, with its own sets of teams and such, with one of the more notable ones being Super Copa, one of the very few South American-exclusive SNES releases (in a similar vein to the two Chavez games, and from the same publisher, even)
Captain Tsubasa 3 was great! I played a barely translated version bought in South America. The music was on fire! Super Soccer had odd charms but doesn't hold up.
23:51 had to get that in there for a Kevin Keegan game!
I’m not really into sports games and really not into soccer. The SNES sports game I played the most was an NCAA basketball game as basketball was the game I played the most in my youth but when I got more games like RPGs I never went back.
Superb video. Kim you're the best.
Another good video. Cheers Kim
Might be the best thumbnail I've ever seen tbh
God I love these videos.
I don't like football and I don't like football games but I love hearing you talk about football games.
I hope you one day get to the later systems like PS3 and XBOX360; when Fifa had pretty much slain all it's rivals. I am wondering if there was actually any alternative or not. Excited to see.
My favourite football game on the SNES was international super star soccer deluxe.
I have no interest in football what so ever and for some reason watched an hour long video about football video games and really enjoyed it. Thanks Kim
World League Soccer looks like proper Aldi Kick Off
Hey, I like Kick Off 3! And the the theme tune of Striker is second to none.
You saying that Megaman Soccer feels rushed isn't wrong, as it contains one of my favourite gaming oversights of all time that show just how little quality control and polish went into it. The ending doesn't work. For both Championship and Tournament modes, there are endings that are supposed to play after you win the final match, but after finishing either mode you are just sent back to the title screen. You have to use an Action Replay or use a ROM hack to actually see the endings.
Great video Kim. Does anyone remember a game maybe for the Atari/Amiga where you could play street football but there was a parked car right across the kerb and in the way?
the best thing about ISS was the small details, like a pony tail on a certain italian player, but to be fair, the best soccer game ever made was SEIBU CUP SOCCER and it never had a home port and that is sad.
another cracking vid, thanks Kim.
Sound effects in that man Utd game are very sensi-esque too
The point on Formation Soccer is why I struggle with most tennis games - I am so bad when I'm at the far end.
ISS. As always a great video
Do you Eurocats play American football games at all? I know it's not popular outside the states besides a few odd countries (Canada, Australia, etc). Do you open up old Madden's n' 2Ks like I do Cricket/Rugby games out of curiousity?
The 16-Bit Maddens are great!
0:40 what game is it? please
I used to love the J-League excite stage games. We put shed loads of hours on them until Konami released their Super Famicom games.
Ever done a Nintendo 64 game?
Honestly, my holy grail of Football on Nintendo consoles is : World Cup 98 (N64),
then World Cup Soccer by Tecnos on NES ... that's pretty muh it!
Kim Justice makes the summer better.
I don't even like football, or football games in particular, but still enjoyed this video massively. Thanks Kim!
ISSS and ISSSD are, by far, the very best football/soccer games ever. I'd play any of those over the FIFA 22-23 or whatever anyday.
As a red blooded American I of course don't give rat's behind about soccer... but... I will watch just about anything by you Kim... The fact I have watched long discussions about games for systems I have absolutely 0 experience with like ZX Spectrum and all the micro computers, I mean I did have a computer in that era, but it was an Apple IIe... I love your channel and your passion for the material basically have made me a fan of it all, if mostly vicariously. You are the best!
Great vid, but KK Player Manager and Kick Off 3 were decent enough games once you got into them. Put many hours into both of them as a ked
Another enjoyable video as usual. :) What’s the video with the guy getting hit with balls around 1:10?
Is that a new channel logo? I like it!
I might have to actually say this a bit quietly then...I actually quite liked Kick off 3! once you get past how limited it is...
Great video again though! Talking of point and click football games, have you ever played any of the Pro evolution soccer games on the WII? They don't slow the game down at all and its more like playing command and conquer on a football pitch!

In this mod SNES games we gotta our national League and plus many other South American football teams from Argentina , Chile , Paraguay , Uruguay and Colombia.
Great video as usual and Mega drive easily had the best footie games.
I'd love to see a video on PS1 footie games, Mainly the early years.
I know Super Soccer isn't the best footie on the snes but can we take a few moments to recognise how amazing the music is on that game...one of the best OSTs on the system imo :)
Yes, definitely. Think I can still hum most of the team tunes in my head and also the menus and penalties music!
Can I just point out that when you watch a lot of early 90s football in Europe 🇪🇺 & England 🏴 I can't help but notice A LOT of SEGA on tge advertising boards that magically disappeared during the saturn era before SEGA/DREAMCAST advertising reappeared at football matches on some football kits in the late 90s. While sony PlayStation advertising has been a mainstay of advertising champions league boards since the mid 90s 😁😁😁. Not SNES related but I wanted to mention that. I even seen sega advertising before Euro 92 once.
Was that Zico game or anything like it ever released on Nintendo DS?
Bonus points for a cameo appearance by Adam & Joe.
I have a retron 5 and when you play kick off 3 snes it has corrupt graphics. I did want to play it even if its not that great
IMO Match Day 2 (Spectrum) Kick Off 2 (Amiga) SWOS (Amiga) and PES6 (PC) are the best games ever made and still all playable today. The size of the football on the J League Excite Stage games is massive lol
Another top notch video.
I quite enjoyed super soccer for some reason. ISS was incredible though.
SNESdrunk did this cool! I love videos like this
Can't wait for Amiga now.... 😃😃
What is the Sensible Soccer game that gives you STAR players?
ISS was the best! God I loved that game!😍
Kazo Miura is still a professional footballer in Japan - age 55 now.
What about striker?? Didn't see that one!
