Jaleco Sports: Goal coming to Nintendo Switch, featuring NES and SNES classics

Today, Rock It Games confirmed that it’s bringing Jaleco Sports: Goal to Nintendo Switch. A release is planned for this summer.

Jaleco Sports: Goal features Goal from the NES and SNES in one package. Support is included for rewind, visual options, and more.

Additional details about the classic titles and the collection can be found in the following overview:

Before FIFA became the standard in soccer gaming, Goal! was celebrated as one of the most advanced and realistic soccer experiences of its time. The NES version features 16 international teams competing for the World Cup and 8 U.S. teams in a tournament format. It also includes a Shootout mode, where players attempt to score against defenders and a goalkeeper.

The SNES sequel, Super Goal!, expanded on the original with a side-scrolling field, 24 international teams, instant replays, and full-field radar views. It also introduced strategic options like four defensive formations and more player control.

About the Goal! Series

The Goal! series earned a reputation for its innovative approach to soccer simulation. Each team featured uniquely rated players across skills like dribbling, shooting, speed, defense, and ball control. The SNES version built on this foundation with enhanced graphics, new camera angles, and deeper gameplay mechanics.
