WAS NHL SLAPSHOT ACTUALLY THAT GOOD?

NHL Slapshot for the Wii has become almost a cult classic since it was first released in 2010. Has the novelty worn off, or does the gameplay hold up in 2023? Corwin and DZ popped the game in for another edition of "Game Capsule."

My entire childhood! Me and my dad both had a career mode and he’d play after i went to bed😂

So many memories from playing this game growing up. Huge part of my childhood that’s still a ton of fun to play to this day. Once you learn all the mechanics and know how to play the game itself, it’s an incredible experience all around. The game has a ton of variety in terms of its core gameplay, modes, and challenges. Not to mention that it has quite arguably the best soundtrack in any NHL game. Nothing but bangers on all fronts. I’m glad that you both had fun playing it even if there were some issues that you ran into while playing. I can’t express to you enough how much fun this game truly is and how many times I’ve laughed when playing pee wee mode. Just seeing pee wee hockey players fall on the ice when getting checked is one of the funniest things I’ve seen when playing a game. I just wish you guys got around to knowing the op wrist shot move. No joke, you can actually snipe the puck bar down from the blue line/top of the circle when you enter the opposing teams zone. Just aim for the opposite top corner/side of the net and watch the magic happen. Anyways, keep up the great work as always and now I really want to play NHL Slapshot again.

For your next Game Capsule (in 2025), I'd love to see you guys review one of the NHL Breakaway games from Akklaim. NHL Breakaway 98 for the N64 was the first hockey videogame I had as a kid and I've never heard anybody talk about it.

Recently I picked it up again off my shelf and made a file with the default rosters and so far I am End of november 23-3-0 for the Canucks with only one of those wins being an OT win.

YOO SCOTT THE WOZ X BARDOWN crossover??? also this game was amazing for what it was and the console it was on. as a kid with just a wii this game grew my love for hockey, the season mode was a favorite of mine, i made the 2014 rangers with that game mode, and i got the game years before that. eventually i'd get a 360, but this game is way more timeless than any entry from 15-onward. 14 is still the GOAT tho.

[@gusto401]

you can play as the Montreal Juniors from the QMJHL and play as Louis Leblanc which is pretty damn cool (considering that team folded really fast). I don't think there were many games that let you play so many teams from different leagues back in the day.
