Play Eyeshield 21 - Max Devil Power! (J) Online

Eyeshield 21: Max Devil Power! was a Nintendo DS game from 2006, developed by Nintendo and based on the popular sports manga. It arrived during the DS's early life, a time when developers were still experimenting with the dual screens and touch controls for all sorts of genres, including this frantic take on American football.

You control Sena Kobayakawa and other members of the Deimon Devil Bats, running plays on the touch screen while the top screen displays the overall field. The main objective is to advance the ball by either running it in for a touchdown or passing, all while avoiding a swarm of opposing players. Signature mechanics include using the stylus to draw paths for your runners, breaking tackles with timed button presses, and unleashing super moves that trigger brief, chaotic cutscenes. The pacing is relentlessly fast, and the difficulty spikes sharply when facing rival aces and their own overpowered techniques. It feels like trying to solve a puzzle while being chased by a truck.
