@@imboverit Haha! I thought the same thing until I entered JHS in Canada or so and realized that wasn't the case. Fun point: I live in Japan and work close to the Konami HQ and I JUST realized that was actually a Japanese game. Wow.
I grew up in the south where no one played or even understood hockey. But this game even only for a brief time had me watching and paying attention to the sport. I’d have to say it was arguably the best sports game of its era
Wow,i remember playing this a while ago.It still looks good for an NES game.Konami has always been good at pushing a home console graphical capabilities very hard.
I loved this game as a kid and thought it was funny that you could control players during a fight. Ever notice how a lot of the old NES sports games graphics now look like they were done in Microsoft Paint?
I was an Nintendo Ice Hockey kid growing up and played the hell out of that most days before my friend and I walked to school. the fact that this is the first NES game to represent actual NHL cities give this one a go.
I was given this game in 2nd grade for my Birthday.....I remember the fault is that you can always score on a wrap around into the net. Fights were great!
Heh wow dude I totally remember this game! I played it cause it was mad fun and didn't really didn't know what I was doin. Sweet vid dude, thanx for sharing yo!
20 years later, and those glorious sound effects are still burned into my brain.
Man so true
This game and double dribble
Same here, but more like 30+, been a long time...
Damn, how the world has changed...
BLADES OF STEEL!
I remember the whole melody
To this day, one of the best sports games ever made. A classic.
Summer of 1990 I was on this. 6 years old just living my liiiiiiifffeeee.
Amen gerard
Same here. I was also 6. Played this game for hours!
Dude, I was 5 and wearing those little red buttons out! Between this, Bases Loaded and Goonies.... never got old.
@@Matthew-fk2vv bases loaded was a classic
The Ref drags your dead ass to the box after you lose the fight.
I always liked how the players went "AAAAH!" when they fell to the ground
WEEE WU WEE WEE WU
The Crowd Sound is classic..lol
You spend more time fighting in this game than playing hockey. Loved it when I was a kid playing with friends etc.
huldu for sure lmfao
Nostalgia...
Konami crowd sound effect, EPIC
If you listen closely it sounds like the announcer said " Shit your pants "
I love how you only got penalized if you lost the fight.
John W Landry And who needs goaltender interference calls when you just collapse like a sack of potatoes anytime you touch the goalie!
This effed me up for years because I thought that's how hockey actually worked. I truly believed hockey was a much more brutal sport.
@@imboverit Haha! I thought the same thing until I entered JHS in Canada or so and realized that wasn't the case. Fun point: I live in Japan and work close to the Konami HQ and I JUST realized that was actually a Japanese game. Wow.
They do that in the NHL hitz games too
I forgot you could completely beat someone's ass then Gordie Howe a goal immediately after while the other player just lays there.
this theme music has been stuck in my head for 30 years
Not only is this a really underrated hockey game, but a underrated NES game as well.

Wow,i remember playing this a while ago.It still looks good for an NES game.Konami has always been good at pushing a home console graphical capabilities very hard.
I loved when you passed it towards the goal and you scored
I love the goalie's reaction when he gives up a goal
3:40 This is why i loved this game as a kid.
Tears in my eyes bruh.
yea, we have great parents
Ikr 😂
My tears are here too....😭
wow, loved this game as a kid! i remember playing the HELL out of this game, i'd pwn my friends all the time.
gotta love the fight mini game!
I remember my childhood friend who died in 2017. I always borrowed to him this tape blades of steel. Wayback 1997
Amen to your friend
This takes me back to my childhood. I was always Toronto. Those were the days.

one of the best games I played for Nintendo at that time

20 years ago I still remember it, so many memories
"pit's the, pit's the, pit's the pass" brings back memories.
TWAYS OF STEEW
First it was 8 year old me loving this game, now it’s 45 year old me loving the memories. If only I could drop everything and play this game again.
This was my favorite hockey game of all time. Mainly because of the fights.
I'm not a big hockey fan but I LOVED this game. So well done, so simple to learn, but challenging.
Damn that game reminds me great memory childhood was fun
IT'S A PASS!!!!!!!! The best thing was to do like 10 fast ones in a row... "ITS A, IT'S A, IT'S A PASS!!"
That's what he's saying? I always thought he was saying "christmas balls". Mystery solved after twenty five years.
Derek Kube FLIP THE PANTS!
+Sarah Danielson :^D oh these retro games were so goofy, they always crack me up
Is that what is being said?? Geez after all these years!!
"with the pass!"
Omg..i use to play this when I was like 5. Bringing back memories.
Loved the video, the feels are real.
2:00 Time to Pull Lundqvist after that one
1988
It was vanbiesbrouk.
Awwww I forgot all about the little mini-game and Konami advertisement after the 2nd period.
This game introduced Nintendo to me. Changed my life.
Good times! Thanks for posting!
what a blast from the past! FACEOFF! HIT THE PUCK! LOL
I also love how the crowd whistling sounds more like seagulls
Best play from my childhood
Sandbagging in the junior league was my favorite tactic too.
Loved this game when I was like 3 to 5!
Amazing nostalgia!
I love the video game you can play within the video game during the second intermission.
I love how goalies are always pissed when you score.
This was the first video game I ever played. Thanks dad
A TIMELESS JEWEL!
I was given this game in 2nd grade for my Birthday.....I remember the fault is that you can always score on a wrap around into the net. Fights were great!
Heh wow dude I totally remember this game! I played it cause it was mad fun and didn't really didn't know what I was doin. Sweet vid dude, thanx for sharing yo!
I had this game as a kid and wasn’t even a hockey fan. Fun game
HIT THE PASS!
Pitt the Elder 2:58 HIT THE HIT THE HIT THE PASS!
Pitt the Elder From Wikipedia: WITH THE PASS!
+Pitt the Elder Its actually gets the pass.
Pitt the Elder i always thought he said "what the fuck"
I'm pretty sure he says "kick the can"
My most favorite sports game of all time.
Love those sounds
This game is responsible for me tanking sophomore year.
The goalies throwing a fit!
I always loved that you could have a full on fist fight in this game
I still ocassionally play this... I have the NES cartridge, but I usually play it from my SNES classic mini because I added it there.
Boxing on ice...i'm in!
I used to play this game til my thumbs had blisters when i was a kid.
Man this game was so good.
1:00 good shot
The fighs and shoot out where the best part!!!
Nostalgia overload.
What the voice lines sound like to me:
"Safe sauce!"
"That's the sauce!"
This is so much better than Hash Hockey. What was Bubbles and Ricky doing man.
I always played as Chicago. I liked the colors.
Played the game. Fun to play.
Konami could do the fuck outta some music tho.
One of the few games that could talk!!
I never understood as a kid why Boston and Detroit were left out of this game, thumbs up if you thought Edmonton was the Mighty ducks.
Even though I'm a huge fan of hockey, the only 2 Hockey games I've ever had were Blades of Steel for NES and NHL Slapshot for Wii.
Good Times!!!😢
My childhood right here
Yes sirr!!!!
9:16 the best part of this fucking awesome GAME! GOD! i cry !!!! FLASH BACK!
Make the pass, Make the pass...Makethe makethe makethe pass! LOL
This was the only NES game which I tried that had real human voice in it. Not sure if there were any others?
good old memories epic : )
This needs to come to nintendo switch online
Zajebista gra 20 lat temu. I ta synteza mowy. Nes czy Pegasus wymiatał :)
0:02 best muffled audio ever.lol

Eu tinha esse jogo no dvd eu amei
Damn, I wanna play this now lol
Brings back great memories, but why only show two periods?
Legend game played and day
The music is better than any Beiber tune
That goalie reacts like James Reimer when he's scored on.
Blades of skrrrrch…..when you had to start blowing in the cartridge
pit pa pe, pit pa pe, pit pa pe
Haha. This was a great game. No offsides and game continues immediately after fight :D
this game led to the great nhl '94
eventually
Naz Idoura NHL 94 was the spiritual successor to BoS for sure.
For 1988,the graphics here were not bad at all.Although it's unrealistic to need 3 zambonis to clean the ice.
i love the rules: Loser of the fight get the penalty! The way it should be dammit!
Takes the pass!
you even got to play gradius at the end
