Soccer[nb 2] is a sports game developed by Intelligent Systems released for the Famicom and Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985 that can be played in Animal Crossing and Doubutsu no Mori e+ by interacting with the Soccer item.
Gameplay
Upon starting a game, the player must select one of seven teams, the opponent's skill level from one to five, and a half time of 15, 30, or 45 minutes. Like in real soccer, the objective of Soccer is to kick the ball into the opposing team's goal. The player nearest to the ball at the start of a game is given control, and can either pass the ball to a teammate or kick it toward the opponent's goal. When passing the ball to a teammate, an arrow will appear above the player closest to player in control, indicating they are the receiver; once the ball is passed, the player takes control of the receiver. If the opponent's team gets the ball into the player's area, the player takes control of the goalkeeper, allowing them to guard the goal and dive at the ball.
Each of the game's seven teams represents a country's real-life soccer team as of 1985, including:
- USA - United States
- GBR - Great Britain
- FRA - France
- FRG - West Germany
- BRA - Brazil
- JPN - Japan
- ESP - Spain
