Captain Tsubasa Vol. II: Super Striker [#Famicom, #NES, #Showcase]
0A short'ish showcase one of very few sport games I have ever played AND enjoyed! Captain Tsubasa for Famicom! I "owned" the JP version for Pegasus decades ago. I could NOT speak/understand English at that time and really wanted to play this JP game. It was surely a challenge!
Captain Tsubasa Volume II: Super Striker (キャプテン翼つばさ II スーパーストライカー, Kyaputen Tsubasa II: Sūpā Sutoraikā) is a continuation of the "Cinematic Soccer" series of games started on the Famicom. Released in 1990 by Tecmo this game is fairly similar to its predecessor but with some slight graphical improvements. It was also the last Tsubasa game to be released on the Family Computer with the series moving to the Super Famicom two years later.
Plot:
Three years after winning the France World Cup for Japan, Tsubasa Oozora, moves to Brazil alongside his coach Roberto Hongo, in order to play with São Paulo F.C. Tsubasa intends to help São Paulo F.C. beat Flamengo and win the Brazilian National Tournament. After defeating the other Brazilian clubs in the Rio Cup, Tsubasa finally makes it to the finals against Carlos' Flamengo. Tsubasa wins the Rio Cup, and is then approached by Mr. Katagiri.
Gameplay:
The game is a soccer simulation. There are different types of soccer moves that the player may choose, most notably more choices than its predecessor. The player can choose to tackle, dribble, shoot, intercept, block or simply do nothing. Moves with the ball low is to do a volley shot, trap the ball or clear. With the ball high the player can choose to shoot with a header (or a bicycle kick only with selected players), trap the ball, or clear. As the goalkeeper, the player can either to punch the ball or catch it. Some players also have a special moves, these special moves would normally require a lot of "guts" (energy) to be used compared to doing the normal move. For the player, "guts" are very limited, while for the computer, they may use their special moves infinitely.
When playing in the story mode of the game, the player must win each match to progress. If they player loses, they must play the previous match again. Whether a player loses or wins, their characters level up to a maximum level of 100. Characters level up more in won matches than lost matches.
