About this game
Nekketsu FC sets out on away matches to earn a place in the Technos Japan Cup. Play involves more than the controlled footballer: the Captain Play System lets you issue instructions suited to the situation, with teammates giving individual responses. The action repertoire includes a heel lift followed by a diving header. Free kicks and penalty contests add other football situations to the matches. The original Famicom game supports up to four players, keeping both football techniques and communication with the team at the centre.
Collected in series
River City is part of the Kunio-kun family of schoolyard brawls, comic rivalries and unruly sports games. Its street-fighting adventures let you punch, kick and grab weapons, with several entries adding shops and new moves to learn between fights.
