Play Hat Trick Hero 2 Online

Hat Trick Hero 2 came out for the Super Nintendo in 1994, a time when the console was packed with arcade style sports games. Taito handled the publishing, and it was one of several hockey titles trying to capture the fast pace of the sport on the 16 bit system. It didn't have the official NHL license, so the teams and players used fictional names, but the core action was unmistakably hockey.

You control a single player on the ice, usually the one with the puck, and your main job is to score goals. The signature mechanics are the three shot power meter, which you charge up for a harder shot, and the ability to perform a slap shot directly from a pass. The game moves quickly, with constant back and forth action, and the difficulty comes from the aggressive computer opponents who check you frequently and block shots. It feels like a simplified, arcade version of hockey where every possession can lead to a scoring chance.
