@@imboverit Haha! I thought the same thing until I entered JHS in Canada or so and realized that wasn't the case. Fun point: I live in Japan and work close to the Konami HQ and I JUST realized that was actually a Japanese game. Wow.
Wow,i remember playing this a while ago.It still looks good for an NES game.Konami has always been good at pushing a home console graphical capabilities very hard.
I grew up in the south where no one played or even understood hockey. But this game even only for a brief time had me watching and paying attention to the sport. I’d have to say it was arguably the best sports game of its era
I remember playing this as a kid, feet vs hand, my older brother came into the room with a camcorder 📹 filming me play as he was just filming my family and our home. Memories!
I was an Nintendo Ice Hockey kid growing up and played the hell out of that most days before my friend and I walked to school. the fact that this is the first NES game to represent actual NHL cities give this one a go.
I loved this game as a kid and thought it was funny that you could control players during a fight. Ever notice how a lot of the old NES sports games graphics now look like they were done in Microsoft Paint?
I was given this game in 2nd grade for my Birthday.....I remember the fault is that you can always score on a wrap around into the net. Fights were great!
Heh wow dude I totally remember this game! I played it cause it was mad fun and didn't really didn't know what I was doin. Sweet vid dude, thanx for sharing yo!

20 years later, and those glorious sound effects are still burned into my brain.
Man so true
This game and double dribble
Same here, but more like 30+, been a long time...
Damn, how the world has changed...
BLADES OF STEEL!
I remember the whole melody
To this day, one of the best sports games ever made. A classic.
Summer of 1990 I was on this. 6 years old just living my liiiiiiifffeeee.
Amen gerard
Same here. I was also 6. Played this game for hours!
Dude, I was 5 and wearing those little red buttons out! Between this, Bases Loaded and Goonies.... never got old.
@@Matthew-fk2vv bases loaded was a classic
I always liked how the players went "AAAAH!" when they fell to the ground
The Ref drags your dead ass to the box after you lose the fight.
If you listen closely it sounds like the announcer said " Shit your pants "
You spend more time fighting in this game than playing hockey. Loved it when I was a kid playing with friends etc.
huldu for sure lmfao
Nostalgia...
WEEE WU WEE WEE WU
The Crowd Sound is classic..lol
I love how you only got penalized if you lost the fight.
John W Landry And who needs goaltender interference calls when you just collapse like a sack of potatoes anytime you touch the goalie!
This effed me up for years because I thought that's how hockey actually worked. I truly believed hockey was a much more brutal sport.
@@imboverit Haha! I thought the same thing until I entered JHS in Canada or so and realized that wasn't the case. Fun point: I live in Japan and work close to the Konami HQ and I JUST realized that was actually a Japanese game. Wow.
They do that in the NHL hitz games too
I forgot you could completely beat someone's ass then Gordie Howe a goal immediately after while the other player just lays there.
Not only is this a really underrated hockey game, but a underrated NES game as well.
this theme music has been stuck in my head for 30 years

I loved when you passed it towards the goal and you scored
3:40 This is why i loved this game as a kid.
I remember playing this as a kid, feet vs hand, my older brother came into the room with a camcorder 📹 filming me play as he was just filming my family and our home. Memories!
I love the goalie's reaction when he gives up a goal
wow, loved this game as a kid! i remember playing the HELL out of this game, i'd pwn my friends all the time.
gotta love the fight mini game!
Tears in my eyes bruh.
yea, we have great parents
Ikr 😂
My tears are here too....😭
I remember my childhood friend who died in 2017. I always borrowed to him this tape blades of steel. Wayback 1997
Amen to your friend
This takes me back to my childhood. I was always Toronto. Those were the days.
I was an Nintendo Ice Hockey kid growing up and played the hell out of that most days before my friend and I walked to school. the fact that this is the first NES game to represent actual NHL cities give this one a go.

one of the best games I played for Nintendo at that time
20 years ago I still remember it, so many memories
This was my favorite hockey game of all time. Mainly because of the fights.
First it was 8 year old me loving this game, now it’s 45 year old me loving the memories. If only I could drop everything and play this game again.
"pit's the, pit's the, pit's the pass" brings back memories.
IT'S A PASS!!!!!!!! The best thing was to do like 10 fast ones in a row... "ITS A, IT'S A, IT'S A PASS!!"
That's what he's saying? I always thought he was saying "christmas balls". Mystery solved after twenty five years.
Derek Kube FLIP THE PANTS!
+Sarah Danielson :^D oh these retro games were so goofy, they always crack me up
Is that what is being said?? Geez after all these years!!
"with the pass!"
Damn that game reminds me great memory childhood was fun
what a blast from the past! FACEOFF! HIT THE PUCK! LOL
I also love how the crowd whistling sounds more like seagulls
2:00 Time to Pull Lundqvist after that one
1988
It was vanbiesbrouk.
I'm not a big hockey fan but I LOVED this game. So well done, so simple to learn, but challenging.
What the voice lines sound like to me:
"Safe sauce!"
"That's the sauce!"
This game introduced Nintendo to me. Changed my life.
HIT THE PASS!
Pitt the Elder 2:58 HIT THE HIT THE HIT THE PASS!
Pitt the Elder From Wikipedia: WITH THE PASS!
+Pitt the Elder Its actually gets the pass.
Pitt the Elder i always thought he said "what the fuck"
I'm pretty sure he says "kick the can"
Omg..i use to play this when I was like 5. Bringing back memories.
Awwww I forgot all about the little mini-game and Konami advertisement after the 2nd period.
TWAYS OF STEEW
This game is responsible for me tanking sophomore year.
I love how goalies are always pissed when you score.
Make the pass, Make the pass...Makethe makethe makethe pass! LOL
I was given this game in 2nd grade for my Birthday.....I remember the fault is that you can always score on a wrap around into the net. Fights were great!
A TIMELESS JEWEL!
Best play from my childhood
Sandbagging in the junior league was my favorite tactic too.
Boxing on ice...i'm in!
Loved this game when I was like 3 to 5!
I used to play this game til my thumbs had blisters when i was a kid.
I always loved that you could have a full on fist fight in this game
I never understood as a kid why Boston and Detroit were left out of this game, thumbs up if you thought Edmonton was the Mighty ducks.
This was the first video game I ever played. Thanks dad
Amazing nostalgia!
This is so much better than Hash Hockey. What was Bubbles and Ricky doing man.
9:16 the best part of this fucking awesome GAME! GOD! i cry !!!! FLASH BACK!
The goalies throwing a fit!
Konami could do the fuck outta some music tho.
I had this game as a kid and wasn’t even a hockey fan. Fun game
I love the video game you can play within the video game during the second intermission.
Konami crowd sound effect, EPIC
1:00 good shot
My childhood right here
Yes sirr!!!!
My most favorite sports game of all time.
Loved the video, the feels are real.
0:02 best muffled audio ever.lol
3:40 ahaha i was really waiting for this moment :')
I still ocassionally play this... I have the NES cartridge, but I usually play it from my SNES classic mini because I added it there.
Blades of skrrrrch…..when you had to start blowing in the cartridge
Good Times!!!😢
Heh wow dude I totally remember this game! I played it cause it was mad fun and didn't really didn't know what I was doin. Sweet vid dude, thanx for sharing yo!
I used to fuckin LOVE this game, it was all about Montreal!
This needs to come to nintendo switch online
The fighs and shoot out where the best part!!!
Man this game was so good.
One of the few games that could talk!!
Good times! Thanks for posting!
this game led to the great nhl '94
eventually
Naz Idoura NHL 94 was the spiritual successor to BoS for sure.
I think the ref may have missed an offside or two 😂
The music is better than any Beiber tune
I always played as Chicago. I liked the colors.
For 1988,the graphics here were not bad at all.Although it's unrealistic to need 3 zambonis to clean the ice.
BLADES OF STEEL
FACE OFF
WITH THE PASS
i love the rules: Loser of the fight get the penalty! The way it should be dammit!
Even though I'm a huge fan of hockey, the only 2 Hockey games I've ever had were Blades of Steel for NES and NHL Slapshot for Wii.
Love those sounds
Nostalgia overload.
2:49 OFFSIDE, REF! call that $#%@. @#$%!
pit pa pe, pit pa pe, pit pa pe
Zajebista gra 20 lat temu. I ta synteza mowy. Nes czy Pegasus wymiatał :)
This was the only NES game which I tried that had real human voice in it. Not sure if there were any others?
gets the pass gets the pass
Ahhh
That goalie reacts like James Reimer when he's scored on.
you even got to play gradius at the end
Legend game played and day
Eu tinha esse jogo no dvd eu amei
Brings back great memories, but why only show two periods?
Thought they said "HIT THE PAN!"
Thought it was Flip to Ted
Played the game. Fun to play.
First goal...OFFSIDE!
