NHL 97 is a sports game (focused on ice hockey) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released in North America and Europe.
Gameplay[]
The game had slightly improved graphics and better animation than the series' previous installments. A "skills competition" was introduced in this game that included accuracy shooting and hardest shot. This is also the first game where real-life sports announcer Jim Hughson does the in-game play-by-play. And it's the final game of EA's NHL series to be released in Europe on the Super Nintendo.
As in the real-world sport of hockey, the object is to score more goals than the opposing team to win the game.
Teams[]
Since the game is licensed by the National Hockey League and it's Player's Association, all the real-world NHL teams and players from that year are included in the game.
