Okay, so Soccer on NES is exactly what it sounds like—a super simple, no-frills soccer game from the 8-bit era. You pick your match length (15, 30, or 45 minutes, which honestly feels way longer in pixel time), and then it’s just you, a tiny ball, and some very enthusiastic cheerleaders waving pom-poms on the sidelines.

Controls are barebones: B to pass, A to shoot, and that’s about it. No fancy dribbling or slide tackles here. The players move in these stiff little sprints, and the ball physics are… well, let’s just say it bounces in ways that defy logic sometimes. But there’s something weirdly charming about how straightforward it is—no tactics, no stamina bars, just pure arcadey kick-and-chase chaos.

It’s not deep, but if you’re in the mood for some old-school, no-nonsense soccer action, this one’s a fun little time capsule.
