Play Mia Hamm Soccer 64 Online

Summary

Mia Hamm Soccer 64 arrived on the Nintendo 64 as a rapid twelve‑week makeover of Michael Owen's World League Soccer 2000, timed to ride the wave of the U.S. women's national team’s 1999 World Cup triumph. The developers at DC Studios swapped Owen for soccer icon Mia Hamm, hand‑animating the roster while keeping the underlying engine intact.

The game lets you pick from 18 fictional U.S. Women’s League clubs, 32 national squads, or Hamm’s own All‑Star team, and dive into practice drills, World Cup tournaments, or a simple exhibition match. Ten stadiums can be tweaked for time of day, weather and field conditions, and Hamm herself offers on‑screen tips for corner kicks, penalties and one‑on‑one situations.

Wendy Gebauer provides commentary, making it one of the first sports titles to feature a female athlete as the headline star—a point praised by children’s advocates as a positive example for girls.

Nevertheless, producer David Rutter later admitted the project felt more like a cynical marketing spin than a genuine push for women’s sports, a sentiment echoed by critics who called the timing and approach off‑beat. In the U.S. the title moved roughly 42,900 units, a modest figure that reflects both its niche appeal and the mixed reception it garnered.
