Super Soccer, known in Japanese as Super Formation Soccer (スーパーフォーメーションサッカー), is a football (soccer) video game developed by Human Entertainment for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and published by Human Entertainment in Japan and Nintendo internationally. It was released in Japan in 1991 and in North America and Europe in 1992, being a launch title in Europe. It was included on the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom released in Japan in October 2017[1] and was initially re-released worldwide on the Nintendo Classics service in September 2019,[2] but was delisted on March 28, 2025.[3]

Gameplay

Shooting

The Gameplay provides a wide range of shooting options. It is possible to do a low shot by pressing the passing button. The shoot can be straight or bent in either way to make the shoot wider or closer. The same thing is possible by shooting higher. A shot that would normally be too wide, central or narrow can be bent.

Passing

These are the options:

  • Passing the ball to a selected team member. The ball will move automatically to him.
  • Straight, sharp, low passes. They can be bent to make them more precise if needed.
  • Passing via pressing the shooting bottom. This is useful for wide vertical or horizontal passes or closer passes to a team member with good ball control. By means of bending, high accuracy can be achieved which can accelerate the attack and create space.

Crossing

Crosses can be made while the player stands horizontally or diagonally towards the goal line.

  • Standing horizontally, the ball can be bent inwardly to make a dangerous cross.
  • Standing diagonally, the cross can be bent both ways: inwardly (the ball bends towards the goal line, which makes the cross shorter) or outwardly (making the cross longer). Outward Crosses are an effective way to score goals by a header.

Series

Super Formation Soccer spawned four sequels, all of them developed and published by Human in Japan only.
