Although the two games appear virtually identical, Tecmo World Cup Soccer lacks some of the speed and fluidity of its arcade progenitor. While the gameplay is ostensibly unchanged, the lack of support for analog control in the NES version renders it a digital-control-only game that requires almost completely different tactics.
Tecmo World Cup Soccer, released five years after its arcade ancestor, is a mostly faithful conversion of Tehkan World Cup squeezed with some concessions into the smaller NES hardware. These are the main similarities between both games:
The same musical score (albeit adapted to the NES sound hardware)
Nearly identical gameplay (although significantly hampered by the absence of analog control)
Almost identical graphics (partially simplified and slowed down)
Differences to Tehkan World Cupedit
As Tehkan World Cup utilized two processors for gameplay and four processors for sound, certain concessions were made to playability on the NES. While the gameplay and graphics remained largely unaltered, certain features were omitted. In recognition of its new home system format, some arcade elements such as the instant knockout, were abandoned in order to provide greater longevity. A partial list of differences includes:
A choice of teams is now available
Competition format
Game lengths
On-screen "scoreboard" (includes large font game clock and score) omitted
Field radar showing player positions omitted
The "grass" had a simpler, more unified texture
Players do not celebrate during the goal sequence
The goal net is shown to bulge upon receipt of the ball
Slide tackles can be initiated by the player
The ball could bounce after a high kick
The ball rebounds from the net and goalposts in a slightly different manner
