Nintendo World Cup is a sports game released for the Game Boy in 1991. The game focuses on soccer matches where players control teams competing in various tournaments, aiming to score goals and win championships. The primary objective is to outscore the opposing team by strategically maneuvering players across the field.

The gameplay maintains a fast pace, combining traditional soccer mechanics with arcade-style action. A unique aspect of Nintendo World Cup is its inclusion of special moves that players can execute, such as powerful shots and tackles, which adds an extra layer of excitement beyond standard soccer gameplay. This mechanic encourages players to balance regular play with timing and skillful use of these abilities.

Distinctive in its presentation, the game features a top-down view of the soccer field and a simplified control scheme suitable for the handheld platform. Its blend of accessible controls and energetic gameplay offers an engaging experience that stands out from more simulation-focused sports titles of the era.
