The Nekketsu hockey game I played was quite good so I wouldn't mind checking out this soccer game.
this one was edited a bit(i was surprised by how much) and came out as Nintendo World Cup. so maybe you've already played it.
in random Downtown Nekketsu news, my buddy is in japan right now, he's looking for a copy of Ganbare Dunk Heroes for me. cross your fingers, and all that.
I remember Nintendo World Cup coming out late in the NES' lifetime. I'm not a big sports fan so I never bothered checking it out. I didn't know it was an altered Nekketsu game.
from what i've seen, it's not really altered, just translated.Quote:

I remember playing Nintendo World Cup a ton back in the day. This was around the time we were all on a Super Dodgeball kick, so it just fit into place perfectly.
World Cup for GB is one of the few GB games that I still play :)

oh, and i heard that the Genesis port ended up sucking, can anyone confirm this?
Nintendo World Cup is a bit different from it's Famicom counterpart (henceforth called Kunio's Soccer). In the main 1-Player, you're allowed to choose one of fourteen teams but in reality you're jus choosing the same team with a different color scheme. You also get additional members in the Japanese version as you progress through the game. In contrast though, Nintendo World Cup actually allows up to four-players.
The Mega Drive version of Kunio's Soccer is quite good, which is quite a surprise since the company that made that port also made the god-awful MD version of Double Dragon II. You get to play as all the teams in the Versus Mode (not just five of them) and there's a new charge mode which involves holding the C button.
Umm what does Nekketsu mean? And why do lots of these games have it in their title? Are all these games part of a series?
Nekketsu is the name of high school that Kunio and co. go to.
It literally means "hot blood".
