So… when exactly are we getting all these ‘cyber sports’?
Today sees HAMSTER dust off another classic SNK arcade to join the expanding ACA Neo Geo range. Gamers can once again indulge in a round or two of future football withSoccer Brawl, which has been re-released for modern platforms.
Originally launched in the arcade way back 1992,Soccer Brawlwas yet another “What would this sport be like in 20xx?” title, which was a popular concept for the Neo Geo catalogue, which also included games such asSuper Baseball 2020andWindjammers.
Eight teams from around the globe contest the (not-so) beautiful game in a series of seven-a-side matches, with the cybernetically-enhanced players armed with stupendous “Power shots” and a pretty lax approach to sporting conduct.
Soccer Brawlis available now for PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, priced at $7
