Control the ball in an overhead view with throw-ins, corner kicks, and penalty shots.

Soccer was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985 in Japan, which is the earliest commercial release of this exact game version on the NES. The original arcade version was also released in 1985, so the original release year is the same.

About Soccer

Soccer on the NES presents a top-down perspective of the pitch, with the camera moving to keep the ball in view. The action is built around standard football rules, incorporating set pieces like corner kicks and penalties.

Players can compete against a computer opponent or another person. Before a match begins, several options are available, including team selection, match duration, and one of five difficulty settings.
