Michael Owen's WLS 2000 is an association football video game developed by Silicon Dreams Studio and published by THQ for the Nintendo 64.
[3] However, it was put on hold as Eidos Interactive did not find itself suitable for the Nintendo 64 market, until it was announced, in August 1999, that THQ had picked up the game for further production.
[8] This version was developed within twelve weeks by DC Studios,[9] to take advantage of the high profile of Hamm and the United States women's national soccer team, who had just won the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup, and be released in time for the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) and the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
[10] Mia Hamm Soccer 64 was one of the first sports games to star female athletes,[11] with Wendy Gebauer serving as commentator.
[citation needed] Like the Nintendo 64 game, the North American release of the Game Boy Color tie-in had a Mia Hamm reskin developed; titled Mia Hamm Soccer Shootout, it was released by SouthPeak Interactive on 27 October 2000.
