Play NHL '98 Online
NHL '98 finally nails the flow—cleaner animations, smoother dekes, and commentary that doesn’t lag behind the action. Pick international teams, dive into a full season, or just rip slapshots in a quick playoff game.
Game Overview
NHL '98 on SNES feels like a proper upgrade—everything’s smoother, faster, and way less clunky than before. No more awkward double-tapping just to pull off a simple deke; now you’ve got four action buttons, so you can actually focus on playing instead of wrestling with controls. The players look sharper too, with fewer jagged edges and cleaner textures (thank you, 3Dfx).
Little details make it feel alive: stats pop up during stoppages, the camera zooms in on players like a real broadcast, and the commentary from Jim Hughson and Darryl Reaugh actually keeps up with the action. And for the first time, you can take teams from 18 different countries onto the ice—perfect for recreating that ’98 Olympic vibe.
Pick a quick playoff series, grind through an 82-game season, or just settle things with a shootout. It’s the kind of game where you’ll start with “just one match” and suddenly realize you’ve been playing for hours.
