Development Text#

Present at 0x2D9806 in the ROM is a directory where the sound samples were compiled from. It looks like someone on the dev team wasn't very fond of the Nintendo 64.

Cut Off Credits#

After beating the game, the credits are shown in a small screen at the bottom of the screen. However, the text was never scaled to fit the small box, which causes it to get cut off.

European Regional Differences#

Europe	Germany	France

Originally released as Michael Owen's WLS 2000, the game received localizations sponsored by the German RTL and French Téléfoot sports channels from within Europe, and was later refashioned as Mia Hamm Soccer 64 in the United States. Only the European and German versions keep the WLS / World League Soccer branding.

Europe	USA

Published almost a year after the initial European version, Mia Hamm Soccer 64 converted the original WLS 2000 release into a women's soccer game, including new models and animations in the process.
