Sega Soccer Slam Are you tough enough? NA release: 18th March 2002 JP release: 26th September 2002 EU release: 18th October 2002 Developer: Black Box Games Publisher: Sega NGC Magazine Score: 67% Mods Used: Widescreen Hack As I’ve been playing through N64 and GameCube games, I’ve played plenty of over the top arcade style sports games – but it’s surprising that this is the first Football one I’ve covered. Sega Soccer Slam gives us a very small amount of 3 player teams (although there is a cheat for some fun costumes) for you to launch into each other. One big problem with Sega Soccer Slam is that tackling is far too easy, so you can get the ball off your opponent with zero problems. The CPU is nowhere near as aggressive, so you’ll end up having high scoring one side games with no issue. The flashy effects also don’t feel like they have much weight to them, the super special shots (down by shooting while in a spotlight) seem to be saved more than regular goals, and the crazy glowing special moves don’t seem to change gameplay much. After the GameCube version came out, Sega Soccer Slam was then ported to PS2 and Xbox with upgrades, which were then included in the European version of the game. One significant addition is the challenge mode. Here, you can mix and match characters from any team, along with a colour so they still all match. Complete a few matches and you’ll win a new character to build up three additional teams. It’s a fun mode and it’s a shame the “pick any three characters” mode isn’t an option for multiplayer matches. Another addition are a couple of minigames, one is a “hot potato” where you have to dribble the ball as long as possible, but get rid of it before it exposes, and the other is a surprisingly fun fighting game using the mechanics of the main game. It’s’ far better than some licensed arena fighters I’ve played, and a fun little addition. These extra things give you something to work for while on your own, and some nice extra modes to play between matches. Another neat idea that Sega Soccer Slam has is a way to team up: instead of controlling a team, you can control individual players, so you and two friends can take on the quest as a squad, or it can be used to spice up a four player match, making this something great for multiplayer. I definitely know that there are at least two much better arcade-like football games on GameCube. Fun Remake or remaster? Mario did this much better. Official Ways to get the game There is no official way to get Sega Soccer Slam. -
I never bother with screen protectors, but I would never even consider taking my Switch outside without a carrying case. The protruding sticks are just begging to get snapped off without one. It's not like a 3DS, where you can just close the system and chuck it in your pocket, the Switch basically requires a carry case and a bag/backpack to actually be portable. So naturally I preordered the official case along with the console. -
