@@imboverit Haha! I thought the same thing until I entered JHS in Canada or so and realized that wasn't the case. Fun point: I live in Japan and work close to the Konami HQ and I JUST realized that was actually a Japanese game. Wow.
I grew up in the south where no one played or even understood hockey. But this game even only for a brief time had me watching and paying attention to the sport. I’d have to say it was arguably the best sports game of its era
Wow,i remember playing this a while ago.It still looks good for an NES game.Konami has always been good at pushing a home console graphical capabilities very hard.
I remember playing this as a kid, feet vs hand, my older brother came into the room with a camcorder 📹 filming me play as he was just filming my family and our home. Memories!
I loved this game as a kid and thought it was funny that you could control players during a fight. Ever notice how a lot of the old NES sports games graphics now look like they were done in Microsoft Paint?
I was an Nintendo Ice Hockey kid growing up and played the hell out of that most days before my friend and I walked to school. the fact that this is the first NES game to represent actual NHL cities give this one a go.
I was given this game in 2nd grade for my Birthday.....I remember the fault is that you can always score on a wrap around into the net. Fights were great!
Heh wow dude I totally remember this game! I played it cause it was mad fun and didn't really didn't know what I was doin. Sweet vid dude, thanx for sharing yo!
20 years later, and those glorious sound effects are still burned into my brain.
Man so true
This game and double dribble
Same here, but more like 30+, been a long time...
Damn, how the world has changed...
BLADES OF STEEL!
I remember the whole melody
To this day, one of the best sports games ever made. A classic.
Summer of 1990 I was on this. 6 years old just living my liiiiiiifffeeee.
Amen gerard
Same here. I was also 6. Played this game for hours!
Dude, I was 5 and wearing those little red buttons out! Between this, Bases Loaded and Goonies.... never got old.
@@Matthew-fk2vv bases loaded was a classic
I love the goalie's reaction when he gives up a goal
You spend more time fighting in this game than playing hockey. Loved it when I was a kid playing with friends etc.
huldu for sure lmfao
Nostalgia...
WEEE WU WEE WEE WU
The Crowd Sound is classic..lol
I always liked how the players went "AAAAH!" when they fell to the ground
The Ref drags your dead ass to the box after you lose the fight.
I love how you only got penalized if you lost the fight.
John W Landry And who needs goaltender interference calls when you just collapse like a sack of potatoes anytime you touch the goalie!
This effed me up for years because I thought that's how hockey actually worked. I truly believed hockey was a much more brutal sport.
@@imboverit Haha! I thought the same thing until I entered JHS in Canada or so and realized that wasn't the case. Fun point: I live in Japan and work close to the Konami HQ and I JUST realized that was actually a Japanese game. Wow.
They do that in the NHL hitz games too
I forgot you could completely beat someone's ass then Gordie Howe a goal immediately after while the other player just lays there.
Not only is this a really underrated hockey game, but a underrated NES game as well.
If you listen closely it sounds like the announcer said " Shit your pants "
this theme music has been stuck in my head for 30 years

gotta love the fight mini game!
I loved when you passed it towards the goal and you scored
3:40 This is why i loved this game as a kid.
I remember my childhood friend who died in 2017. I always borrowed to him this tape blades of steel. Wayback 1997
Amen to your friend
I remember playing this as a kid, feet vs hand, my older brother came into the room with a camcorder 📹 filming me play as he was just filming my family and our home. Memories!
Tears in my eyes bruh.

This takes me back to my childhood. I was always Toronto. Those were the days.
First it was 8 year old me loving this game, now it’s 45 year old me loving the memories. If only I could drop everything and play this game again.
20 years ago I still remember it, so many memories
one of the best games I played for Nintendo at that time
Damn that game reminds me great memory childhood was fun
I'm not a big hockey fan but I LOVED this game. So well done, so simple to learn, but challenging.
This was my favorite hockey game of all time. Mainly because of the fights.
"pit's the, pit's the, pit's the pass" brings back memories.
Omg..i use to play this when I was like 5. Bringing back memories.
This game introduced Nintendo to me. Changed my life.
Sandbagging in the junior league was my favorite tactic too.
TWAYS OF STEEW
IT'S A PASS!!!!!!!! The best thing was to do like 10 fast ones in a row... "ITS A, IT'S A, IT'S A PASS!!"
That's what he's saying? I always thought he was saying "christmas balls". Mystery solved after twenty five years.
Derek Kube FLIP THE PANTS!
+Sarah Danielson :^D oh these retro games were so goofy, they always crack me up
Is that what is being said?? Geez after all these years!!
"with the pass!"
HIT THE PASS!
Pitt the Elder 2:58 HIT THE HIT THE HIT THE PASS!
Pitt the Elder From Wikipedia: WITH THE PASS!
+Pitt the Elder Its actually gets the pass.
Pitt the Elder i always thought he said "what the fuck"
I'm pretty sure he says "kick the can"
Loved this game when I was like 3 to 5!
2:00 Time to Pull Lundqvist after that one
1988
It was vanbiesbrouk.
Best play from my childhood
I was an Nintendo Ice Hockey kid growing up and played the hell out of that most days before my friend and I walked to school. the fact that this is the first NES game to represent actual NHL cities give this one a go.
This was the first video game I ever played. Thanks dad
Awwww I forgot all about the little mini-game and Konami advertisement after the 2nd period.
I love the whistling effects 😂
I had this game as a kid and wasn’t even a hockey fan. Fun game
My most favorite sports game of all time.
I was given this game in 2nd grade for my Birthday.....I remember the fault is that you can always score on a wrap around into the net. Fights were great!
I love how goalies are always pissed when you score.
Loved the video, the feels are real.
A TIMELESS JEWEL!
I love the video game you can play within the video game during the second intermission.
This needs to come to nintendo switch online
My childhood right here
Yes sirr!!!!
I always loved that you could have a full on fist fight in this game
They had the best soundtrack ever
I still ocassionally play this... I have the NES cartridge, but I usually play it from my SNES classic mini because I added it there.
This game is responsible for me tanking sophomore year.
Brings back great memories, but why only show two periods?
What the voice lines sound like to me:
"Safe sauce!"
"That's the sauce!"
Amazing nostalgia!
1:00 good shot
Boxing on ice...i'm in!
I used to play this game til my thumbs had blisters when i was a kid.
The goalies throwing a fit!
This was the only NES game which I tried that had real human voice in it. Not sure if there were any others?
I never understood as a kid why Boston and Detroit were left out of this game, thumbs up if you thought Edmonton was the Mighty ducks.
Man this game was so good.
This is so much better than Hash Hockey. What was Bubbles and Ricky doing man.
Heh wow dude I totally remember this game! I played it cause it was mad fun and didn't really didn't know what I was doin. Sweet vid dude, thanx for sharing yo!
The fighs and shoot out where the best part!!!
One of the few games that could talk!!
Good times! Thanks for posting!
0:02 best muffled audio ever.lol
no offsides?
Good Times!!!😢
this game led to the great nhl '94
eventually
Naz Idoura NHL 94 was the spiritual successor to BoS for sure.
I always played as Chicago. I liked the colors.
9:16 the best part of this fucking awesome GAME! GOD! i cry !!!! FLASH BACK!
I used to fuckin LOVE this game, it was all about Montreal!
Even though I'm a huge fan of hockey, the only 2 Hockey games I've ever had were Blades of Steel for NES and NHL Slapshot for Wii.
Nostalgia overload.
Love those sounds
Konami could do the fuck outta some music tho.
For 1988,the graphics here were not bad at all.Although it's unrealistic to need 3 zambonis to clean the ice.
The music is better than any Beiber tune
you even got to play gradius at the end
Zajebista gra 20 lat temu. I ta synteza mowy. Nes czy Pegasus wymiatał :)
0:47 SSFACE SAW
I never realized how ridiculously offsides they are.
3:40 BEST PART
Blades of skrrrrch…..when you had to start blowing in the cartridge
Played the game. Fun to play.
i love the rules: Loser of the fight get the penalty! The way it should be dammit!
3:40 ahaha i was really waiting for this moment :')
2:49 OFFSIDE, REF! call that $#%@. @#$%!
Eu tinha esse jogo no dvd eu amei
BLADES OF STEEL
FACE OFF
WITH THE PASS
That goalie reacts like James Reimer when he's scored on.
I think the ref may have missed an offside or two 😂
Was there a difference between the teams?
None at all, just colors.
Make the pass, Make the pass...Makethe makethe makethe pass! LOL
what does it mean when it says " Hit the call?"
I think it's "Hit the pass"?
Get the pass
For years I thought it was “flip to ted” lol
