Nekketsu Kōkō Soccer Bu: World Cup Hen (熱血高校サッカー部 ワールドカップ編?, lit. "Nekketsu High School Soccer Club: World Cup Edition") is a soccer video game for the Game Boy developed by Technōs Japan Corp. and released in 1991. It is the direct sequel of Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu: Soccer Hen. The game was released by Nintendo in North America and Europe as Nintendo World Cup and uses many graphical assets from the NES version of that game.

Gameplay[]

Main article: Nekketsu Kōkō Dodgeball Bu: Soccer Hen#Gameplay

The game plays identically to the console version, but makes a few changes. When the ball goes out of bounds past the goalkeeper, the player cannot cross the line that leads into the goalkeeper's area. This removes an exploit from the console version which allowed the player to easily gain possession of the ball and score. Connecting an overhead kick for a super shot is also easier in this version of the game, to the point that the player can trigger the super shots close to the ground.

The game allows two players to play both together and against each other by using another copy of the game and a Game Link Cable. Unlike the console version, the first player will control the midfielder and the second player will control the bottom forward.
