Soccer is a sports video game released by Nintendo on April 9, 1985, for the Famicom console.
In this simplified soccer simulation, players control national teams aiming to score more goals than the opponent to win matches.
Seven different national teams are available: USA, Great Britain, France, West Germany, Brazil, Japan, and Spain.
Match durations are customizable, allowing players to choose between 15, 30, or 45-minute halves.
The game features basic top-down graphics, typical of the early NES era, providing clear visibility of the field and player movements.
Gameplay mechanics focus primarily on passing, shooting, and defensive tackling.
Both single-player mode against computer-controlled teams and multiplayer mode for two-player competition are included.
Despite its technical simplicity and minimalistic visuals, Soccer gained popularity due to its straightforward controls and engaging gameplay.
The intuitive controls, with one button for passing and another for shooting, made it accessible even to inexperienced gamers.
Overall, Soccer is remembered fondly as an enjoyable early sports game on Nintendo’s iconic platform.
