Is NHL 98 still worth playing in 2026?

NHL 98 wraps up the EA hockey series on the Super Nintendo as the console lives out its final months. Ambitious for the hardware, it offers the 1997-98 rosters and a few refinements, yet struggles to stand apart from the more modern versions released elsewhere. The appeal lies mainly in its arcade pace and multiplayer matches, which still land well. It is best suited to sixteen-bit hockey devotees who understand this is a last hurrah rather than a benchmark.
