Captain Tsubasa was adapted into several Nintendo Super Famicom (the Japanese equivalent of Super NES) video game adaptations. It can be considered either a "Sports RPG" or "Soccer simulation". Characters run down the field in real time, but when a player comes into contact with an opposing player, a turn based battle is initiated. The player can select moves such as "slide tackle" or "header" depending on the situation, and success is based on individual teammate stats, which improves with each win. Animations are impressive for the original Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System), demonstrating smooth and dynamic moves, large and fast moving sprites, and physics-defying moves.

Upon release, the soccer-based RPGs topped the sales charts in both Japan and South America, even an official Spanish language version was published.
