Inazuma Serve Da! Super Beach Volley is one of those SNES gems that somehow makes pixelated sand feel warm under your feet. You pick from a roster of weirdly charming characters—some serve like cannons, others move like they’re stuck in molasses—and suddenly you’re diving for impossible saves while the crowd (well, a handful of chunky sprites) cheers. The controls take a minute to click, but once you nail that perfect spike just inside the line, it’s stupidly satisfying.

Matches get chaotic fast, especially in 2-player mode where someone always ends up yelling about a questionable call. The AI isn’t exactly pro-level, but it’ll punish lazy serves if you’re not careful. And yeah, the graphics are pure ‘90s—think neon swimsuits and blocky palm trees—but that’s half the charm. Just don’t expect deep strategy; this is all about reflexes and laughing when your character faceplants after a missed block.

If you’ve got a buddy and a soft spot for janky sports games, this one’s a riot for a lazy afternoon.
