J. League Supporter Soccer is one of those Game Boy sports games that somehow nails the simplicity of early handheld soccer. You pick a team from Japan’s J. League—I always went for Kashima Antlers because their red kits looked sharp on that tiny screen—and jump straight into matches that play out like fast, arcade-style football.

The controls are basic (pass, shoot, tackle), but there’s a weirdly satisfying rhythm to it once you get the hang of sliding tackles and lofted through balls. The crowd chants in pixelated bursts, and the goalkeepers have that classic '90s quirk where they either pull off impossible saves or let in absolute howlers. It’s not deep, but it’s the kind of game you’d play in short bursts between bus stops, trying to squeeze in one more match.

If you’ve got nostalgia for early handheld sports titles, this one’s a solid time capsule. Just don’t expect FIFA—it’s more about quick, chaotic fun than realism.
