Jaleco Sports: Goal!

A pair of classic sports games now get another chance on Nintendo Switch

While the NES version of Goal! tried to bring a more authentic style of football, both the NES and SNES entries still rely on the standards of the era, just before EA Sports and Konami reinvented the digitized version of 'the beautiful game'. But still, midfield play is fun and rewarding, but once you reach the box the old “find one of four spots and score” rule still applies. That said, the production of this collection is top notch. Two games for $/€ 7,79 feels fair given it's features but it won’t win over many new fans. It will definitely scratch the nostalgic itch for those who were there the first time.

Jaleco Sports: Goal! drags two of the oldest 8-bit and 16-bit soccer games back from the past. Should they have just stayed buried or do they belong in a museum?
