Electronic Arts' celebrated hockey series makes its first appearance on Nintendo 64 with 3D polygonal players and arenas. Play an exhibition game, embark on a full season, jump to the playoffs, enter a tournament, or test your agility in a shootout. You can also work on perfecting your skills with Marc Crawford's coaching strategies. Twenty-seven NHL teams, including the Nashville Predators, are in the game, along with arenas sporting such details as banners, retired jerseys, and luxury boxes. Eighteen international teams, with their distinct rink sizes and rules of play, are also available. Due to space limitations on the cartridge format, the two-man commentary team from the disc-based versions has been replaced with a single play-by-play announcer: broadcaster Bill Clement. A Controller Pak is required to save statistics, user records, line changes, and configuration options.
