Item Description
Pick a skinny skater, a medium one or a big bruiser, and you have already made the most important decision in Ice Hockey. Nintendo's 1988 hockey game lets you build each lineup from three body types: the light skater is quick and strong on face-offs but easy to knock around, the middle one is average at everything, and the heavyweight is slow off the draw but checks hard and shoots harder. Balancing speed against muscle gives every matchup a little strategy before the puck even drops.
Once play starts, it moves fast and loose. Teams skate five a side, goalie included, and you pass, check and fire away against another player or the computer, choosing from national teams and adjusting the game speed to suit your crowd. Battle over the puck for too long and the scrum turns into a brawl as other players pile in, with someone from the losing side heading to the penalty box. Electronic Gaming Monthly once said it has some of the most hilarious gameplay of any sports game ever, and anyone who has watched a heavyweight bowl through the defense on his way to the net will understand why.
The credits are remarkable for a sports game. Hideki Konno, who went on to direct Super Mario Kart and Luigi's Mansion, directed it, Shigeru Miyamoto and Masayuki Uemura produced, and Soyo Oka composed the music. Built by Nintendo R&D4 with help from Pax Softnica, it first appeared on the Famicom Disk System in Japan before reaching the NES in North America in March 1988.
Few NES sports games have aged as gracefully. EGM, Nintendo Power and IGN have all placed it on their lists of all-time or NES greats, and Nintendo has brought it back on the Wii Virtual Console and on Nintendo Switch. Two controllers, one rink and a heavyweight on each side still add up to a terrific couch rivalry, the kind of game that settles arguments and starts new ones.

About the game
Ice Hockey is a sports game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Matches can be played against the computer or another player, with selectable national teams and adjustable game speed.
