Okay, so this is one of those weirdly specific Japan-only Game Boy sports games—you play as the Japanese national soccer team trying to qualify for the 1998 World Cup in France. The controls are pretty basic (it's a Game Boy, after all), but there's something oddly charming about the chunky little sprites running around. The real kicker? It's got J.League branding everywhere, so you get this weird mix of national team play with club team vibes. Not gonna lie, the passing feels a little stiff at first, but once you get used to it, scoring with a pixelated header is weirdly satisfying. Definitely more of a nostalgia pick than a hidden gem, but if you're into obscure soccer sims, it's got its moments.
