To do: |
The SNES Super Soccer is the only entry in the Formation Soccer series to see a release outside of Japan, and one of the first sports games ever released on the Super Famicom/SNES. It would prove to be an invaluable launch title on the system for the football fanatics in Europe.
Unfortunately, the game is probably best known nowadays for being the first game to ever get delisted off the Nintendo Classics line of NSO applications (coincidentally removed the same day Spike Chunsoft, current owners of Human Entertainment's sport titles, revealed a new game).

Regional Differences#
Copyright Screen#
|
Japan |
International |
|---|---|
|
|
The copyright screen was changed to account for Nintendo publishing the game outside of Japan, as well as the later release year.
Intro Cutscene#
|
Japan |
International |
|---|---|
|
|
The text that appears at the beginning of the intro was changed.
Title Screen#
|
Japan |
International |
|---|---|
|
|
The title logo and copyright info were changed, and Human Cup was changed to Tournament.
Tournament Mode#
|
Japan |
International |
|---|---|
|
|
The graphic of the trophy changed, and Mode Select was reversed to Select Mode.
Hidden Team#
|
Japan |
International |
|---|---|
|
|
At the team select screen in a two-player game, hold Start and press B to access a hidden team. This team is named after Human Entertainment in the Japanese version, and after Nintendo elsewhere.
Field Advertisements#
|
Japan |
International |
|---|---|
|
|
|
In the Japanese version, the ads around the field are one for the developer Human, plus some generic "FIELD" and "NICE" billboards. The international versions changed these to decidedly more interesting ads for Nintendo, the Game Boy, and (interestingly enough) SimCity.
The positioning of the billboards is also unique between versions: the international release has the Game Boy ad exclusively on the stadium walls, while Japan has both the "NICE" and Human ads plastered on them.
Nintendo Switch Online changes#
|
SNES |
Switch Online |
|---|---|
|
|
The Switch Online rerelease replaces the SimCity ads with a palette-swapped version of the "FIELD" billboard included in Super Formation Soccer, very likely due to Electronic Arts owning the rights to the SimCity IP.
