Play Captain Tsubasa IV - Pro no Rival-tachi (Japan) Online
You pull off insane anime-style soccer moves—Tsubasa’s Drive Shot sends the ball flaming past defenders while the screen zooms in for maximum drama. Matches feel like manga battles, complete with trash-talking rivals and that sweet SNES-era flair.

Captain Tsubasa IV - Pro no Rival-tachi is basically what happens when soccer and anime collide in the best possible way. You know those ridiculous, physics-defying shots from the manga? Yeah, they’re all here—Tsubasa’s Drive Shot, Hyuga’s Tiger Shot, the works. The first time I pulled off a super move and saw the screen zoom in for that dramatic close-up, I couldn’t stop grinning.
It’s not just about the spectacle, though. The controls are smoother than the earlier games, and there’s a surprising amount of strategy—do you go all-out with flashy plays or play it smart? (Spoiler: I always went for flashy.) Matches feel like actual story arcs, especially when you’re up against rivals who talk trash mid-game. If you’ve ever wanted to live out those over-the-top soccer battles from the anime, this is the closest you’ll get on the SNES.
Fair warning: you might yell at the screen when the AI pulls off some nonsense in the last minute. But that’s part of the charm.
