Play NHL Breakaway 99 Online

Summary

NHL Breakaway 99 builds on its predecessor with a surprisingly deep roster, packing every one of the 27 NHL clubs and more than 600 players – even the brand‑new Nashville Predators – into the Nintendo 64 cartridge. The game’s control scheme lets you pass using simple symbols and even manage the stick without a dedicated puck‑handler button, which feels oddly intuitive once you get the hang of it. Player realism shines through thanks to authentic heights, weights and updated 1998‑99 jerseys, while each arena bears its real‑world name, giving the whole experience a genuine feel. Off the ice, you can create, trade, sign and release athletes, then fine‑tune a team’s style for physical play, power‑play dominance or penalty‑killing efficiency. The cover proudly showcases Detroit’s Steve Yzerman, and the mode lineup – season, practice, playoff and exhibition – offers enough variety to keep a weekend of gaming sessions fresh.
