Play World Soccer 2000 (japan) Online

World Soccer GB 2000 came out for the Game Boy Color in 2000, published by Imagineer. It was one of many portable soccer games from that era, a time when developers were still figuring out how to fit a full field onto a small screen. You could play a quick match, go through a full tournament, or manage a team in a league season.

You control a team of eleven players, moving them up the field to score goals. The main objective is to win matches by outscoring your opponent. The game uses an overhead perspective, and you pass the ball between players, tackle to regain possession, and take shots on goal. Two signature mechanics are the through pass, which sends a teammate sprinting ahead into open space, and the ability to slide tackle, though a mistimed one earns a foul. The pacing is quite fast, and the difficulty can spike against tougher teams, especially when your players get tired. It feels like a condensed version of soccer, where a single breakaway can decide the match.
