The first Super Sidekicks by SNK where thirty-two nations clash in a very arcade football, founder of an in-house saga and one of the machine's early titles. The Western version sold on the narrow North American Neo Geo CD market, which makes its pressing appreciably rarer than the abundant Japanese edition. The disc gave affordable access to a team sport then pioneering on the system.
Is Super Sidekicks - Tokuten-ou still worth playing in 2026?
Super Sidekicks - Tokuten-ou is the first installment of SNK's arcade football series, in which thirty-two nations compete in fast, approachable soccer. The snappy pace, spectacular shots and readability of the action make it a pleasant and immediate arcade football, ideal in pairs. The tactical depth stays limited and the presentation lays the foundations the sequels would refine. For fans of retro arcade football and quick matches between friends, it is a solid starting point of a reference series on the machine.
