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.
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.
In recognition of its new home system format, some arcade elements such as the instant knockout, were abandoned in order to provide greater longevity.
