I'd love to be a fly on the wall during the development of this game! How does this actually come into being? That hideous title picture is so bad, it's not even ironically funny! Props for the Emo Phillips refrence, brother!
I hate to say I don't care about most of these games you play, but dam you just make good videos. Shit is soothing and I need this zen in my life. This is like SNES eye bleach.
Good video! I had heard of this one, but never played it. The SNES market was absolutely flooded with platformers and this one never really stood out to me. I guess I never realized just how many Amiga ports the SNES received and most of them are quite a bit mediocre! That camera looks absolutely headache-inducing! Kid Kleets looks really creepy like some sort of Edgar Bergen puppet!
I remember seeing a preview for this game in EGM when it was first announced. I come across that issue every now and then, but realize I never actually saw the game in motion until now, almost 30 years later!
Nonchalant observations, succinct descriptions of pros and cons, and a seemingly endless stream of references that grow more obscure as the video progresses…. Marry me!
Often, yes. Be it Ocean, US Gold, or any of that lot, they'd happily sort out any rubbish you'd send in and slap it onto anything. Waterworld for the Virtual Boy? Done.
“Who is this guy? Sandy Alcaterra?” Me laughing along: Yeah! Sandy…uh *laughs nervously and googles him* Love the references even if I don’t get a single one
@@nonamesleft136 haven't you seen his videos before? He constantly mentions Ken griffey Jr presents major league baseball all the time. Almost every video. He had a whole video where he goes through every single baseball game for snes. He's absolutely obsessed with baseball, he loves it. I honestly don't know how you could have missed that, because he does talk about it LOADS
This game is a huge nostalgia trip for me. It's true that its clunky but I had a lot of fun with this one. I've been trying to remember the name of it for so long..so thanks for putting this one out Alex!
There is another game called "Marko's Magic Football". Not sure if it's related to this one, or a spiritual sucessor. I remember playing the Sega Mega Drive version.
The words people use today 😂 don't you realise how stupid using words like 'yeeted' makes you look? Just because celebrities do it, doesn't mean it's big or clever to copy them
Dang.. I remember my parents buying this game for our PC when I was a kid. An old pentium 100. We tried to install the game but got some error message. Since we knew nothing about computers, we had a "computer savvy" guy come over and help us out. He did some changes in the autoexec.bat and config.ini files and voila, the game booted. He left and we sat down to play. The game froze after about a minute and we had to reboot the computer. Now, the problem was that instead of Windows 95 booting, what we got was.. Soccer Kid. Every single time we rebooted.. Soccer Kid. 'Twas good times..
Wow that's crazy! Last week I picked this game up on a wim for £10 before I did I looked to see if you had made a video talking about it.. but hadn't.. and boom bow here it is 😁 lol
I wonder if the speed problem has to do with PAL systems running at a lower frame rate. If it wasn't adjusted in the NTSC release, it might be running faster than intended.
Great game on Amiga, but I would never touch Snes version, or Gba or Jaguar ones, they have lowered resolution so as You see less and in game with so many fast stuff going on it will result in instant frustration. Go pick 3DO version, it is the best one with best resolution so You will see well where to go and where are enemies.
Holdup! You mean there's *another* 16-bit platformer about a kid with a projectile football/soccer ball?? Thought this was just an snes version of the Sega Genesis game, Marko/Marko's Magical Football, and expected you to mention 'Genesis' in the list of ported consoles, but it turns out they're not the same game, wth lol. Never had or played Marko myself, but the box art and concept always caught my eye. Would be curious for the SnesDrunk opinion on that one in comparison to this one haha.
David Beckham has his own friggin' platform game on the Game Boy Advance that's very similar to both Kid Kleets and Marko. And of course Michael Jordan has his own basketball platformer...
@@jessragan6714 Chaos in the Windy City imho is completely different to these soccer platformers though. Love that game btw, one of my all time favorites from when I was a kid lol :) Doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
Hello! Love your videos. Can you please review a game called spindizzy worlds for the snes? I think it’s a great hidden gem, as long as you quickly get used to the controls! Tip: move, brake, move, brake etc. if you don’t hit the brakes before every turn, your momentum will carry over
I played the DOS version of "Soccer Kid". Loved the graphics during that time, loved the lab stage (can't remember which country it was) and the final boss battle is kinda underwhelming. Don't remember whether the camera "jolted" that much while playing though.
Please keep making sports references I don't get. It makes me laugh every single time. I just don't know these people and you'll just casually say "what am I? Jimmy Aubergine?" And I start to giggle. PS: this is not sarcasm in the least. Don't stop. PPS: you made 2 more references that I did know while I was typing this.
Holy Sh*t a Toonces The Driving Cat reference, that's a hella deep cut for a reference. Gotta pay more attention from now on and see which other ones I can catch.
You are definitely running out of SNES games. This isn't meant as an insult. Your channel is a depository of simple reviews now for almost the entire SNES library and I'm loving the videos for these more obscure titles.
I was never much into sports games of the 16-bit era other than maybe Megaman Soccer but this one looked promising with the platforming side-scrolling elements.
I had no idea that this game was called Kid Kleets outside of England. I had Soccer Kid for the Amiga 1200, and I seem to recall that it absolutely blows.
I had this game when I was a kid, it is fun but not easy. It's a trial and error kind of game. Expect to die alot, until you memorize the levels and know what is ahead of you, it gets more fun as you replay it and the music in this game is really good. There are several very catchy tunes.
Few things are as exquisitely annoying as mighty Jim Power getting vaporized by a large drop of water. Dude, what kind of dashing space hero are you? Even Zapp Brannigan is laughing at you!
To think that someone must have playtested this game and thought that this camera was just fine. Or maybe they didn't but the publisher was like 'nope, gotta publish fast!' :)
I remember this as Soccor kid in one of my SNES magezines. Not sure if it got an Australian release but I never saw it as a rental. Of course, still images can't show what live footage does. That camera flipping left to right would have pissed me off.
I was hoping for a review of this game for some time now and I wasn't disappointed. Once again spot on! I got that game around 1996/97 when one of the last VHS rental stores in my hometown sold all its SNES games for pretty cheap (guess it was time for Playstation). Since I was a total soccer kid myself, my choice was easy and despite all its flaws I loved this game. Thinking about it now, I wonder which game I could have gotten instead.
Seems to me like the camera issues could've been fixed by just centering the camera on Kid Kleets, allowing for a good range of view on both sides of the character, so it wouldn't flip back and forth.
You should check out the SFC version of this game. It changes kid fleets for an anime looking kid created by a manga artist, though sadly only in the title screen. It’s kinda nuts
I had this game on CD for DOS. Very challenging, but quite enjoyable. I usually don't like western developed platformers much, but this got more playtime than Jazz Jackrabbit.
I have the Super Famicom version, but it kinda sucks due to the controls - they mapped jump to up on the d-pad rather than a face button which doesn't work very well. I used to quite like the game on the Amiga.
There's a game just like this on GBA called Go!Go! Bekham! which fixes nearly every problem you stated and also introduces multiple balls. It's super fun and relatively unknown. I recommend it.
If I remember correctly, you could kick the ball in front of you and hit enemies off screen. That was on the DOS version. Dont blame me if I'm wrong, that was over 25 years ago.. In any case I really liked the game and it was far from unplayable!
Is maybe the PAL version of this game the original? The game does seem like it runs too fast, like it wants to run at 50FPS. Even the music seems too fast! I bet the camera and the speed issues might work out at a lower framerate.
Glad to see Soccer Kid can summon his weapon (soccer ball) at will like Sora summoning the keyblade in Kingdom Hearts. Perhaps in another world he could have rolled with Donald and Goofy but one adventure was enough.
The World Cup Trophy was stolen already one time (the Jules Rimet Trophy) and they didn't send a kid to recover it, they just created a new Trophy (the current World cup Trophy)
Definitely should play Marko for Sega next. A much more polished game from my memory. And an in game reason why your soccer ball can teleport back to you!

Love how SNES Drunk is so deep into the SNES library at this point that we're into "going to be on Switch Online in three months" territory
Kudos for the Toonces reference! I'm going to flip if your next one has a "Massive Head Wound Harry," "Tiny Elvis," or "Middle-Aged Man," nod.

That music at the end was moving around just as fast as the in game camera was. Sheesh!

Yeah same buddy !
They are similar, but in Marko's Magic Football, you can't control the soccer ball as easily
Was I expecting to hear an Emo Phillips reference in a video about a football-platforming game today? Nope, but life is just full of happy surprises!

The moment I started the video I just KNEW there'd be a Toonces reference
The toonces reference was the best part of the video but overall, a stellar video
Geez I got motion sickness just watching this video. Dat camera scrolling is wicked.
That's the first time I've heard the name "Toonce the Driving Cat" in a long time.

It probably is nit adjusted. It runs at a very nice speed on the amiga and ir actually is a fun game. Try the Amiga or 3DO versions instead

Is maybe the PAL version of this game the original? The game does seem like it runs too fast, like it wants to run at 50FPS. Even the music seems too fast! I bet the camera and the speed issues might work out at a lower framerate.
The graphics and animations remind of JJ & Jeff on Turbo Grafx
I'd play this if someone patches that shaky cam and adds a fire *ball* power-up.
