Tecmo World Cup Soccer is a video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Released in 1990 by Tecmo, as its name suggests it is a soccer game focusing on the World Cup. It is a port of Tehkan World Cup, released on arcades in 1985.
Although the two games appear virtually identical, Tecmo World Cup Soccer lacks some of the speed and fluidity of its arcade progenitor. While the gameplay is ostensibly unchanged, the lack of support for analog control in the NES version renders it a digital-control-only game that requires almost completely different tactics.
Tecmo World Cup Soccer is not to be confused with Nintendo World Cup (released the same year),[2] nor Tecmo Cup Soccer Game (known as Captain Tsubasa in Japan).[3]
