Play NHL '98 Online
Control your team, chase the puck, set up plays, and score goals in NHL '98 for SNES. Play matches or tackle a full season as you outsmart your opponents.
NHL '98 came out for the Super Nintendo in 1997, published by THQ. It was one of the last hockey games for the system, arriving late in the console's life when many developers had already moved on to newer hardware. It felt like a familiar, polished effort for anyone still playing their SNES.
You control all five skaters and the goalie, cycling through players to chase the puck, set up plays, and take shots on net. The main goal is to outscore the opponent, whether in a single match or across a full season mode. Signature mechanics include the one-timer, executed by passing and shooting in quick succession, and a deke move that lets you slip past defenders. The pace is brisk, with fewer stoppages than some earlier hockey titles, though the AI can be punishing on higher difficulties. It feels responsive and straightforward, a solid arcade-style hockey experience that respects your time.
