NHL Stanley Cup Overview
Alt. Names:
Super Hockey
NHL Stanley Cup is a hockey simulation for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It features the complete set of twenty six NHL franchises from its era, each modeled with distinct performance characteristics.
The game's presentation includes a notable early use of the console's graphical capabilities to create a pseudo three dimensional effect on the ice. While it lacks official player names due to licensing, the athletes are represented by accurate jersey numbers and skill attributes.
Players can guide a selected team through a full campaign, from the standard season to the playoffs culminating in the championship tournament. The North American release also provides a menu for switching the interface language between English and French.
