Game Overview

USA Ice Hockey in FC, known as Ice Hockey in North America, was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. It was developed and published by Nintendo, arriving during a period when sports simulations on the NES were often simple, fast paced affairs focused more on action than realism.

You control a team of four players, each selectable for their size and speed, skating up and down the rink trying to shoot the puck into the opponent's net. The main objective is to outscore the other team within three periods. Signature mechanics include checking opponents to steal the puck, executing slap shots for power, and strategically substituting players to adapt to the flow of the game. The pacing is frantic, with constant back and forth action, and the difficulty can spike sharply against aggressive computer opponents. It feels like a brisk, physical scramble where every possession counts.
