Summary
Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball-bu: CD Soccer-hen – known among fans simply as "CD Soccer" – landed on the PC‑Engine’s Super CD‑ROM² in December 1991, published by Naxat Soft. The CD upgrade adds a crunchy, arranged soundtrack and voice‑over for the intro and cutscenes, giving the quirky dodgeball‑meets‑soccer story a polished audio backdrop. Gameplay shifts from the series’ usual dodgeball courts to a full‑on soccer tournament after manager Misako persuades the ill‑fated high‑school team—who’re suffering from a bout of food poisoning—to chase a national title. Players unlock a Tournament mode featuring five classic powerhouses: France, Brazil, Argentina, Italy and Germany, but only after they beat the final match and secure the championship. The blend of bright, high‑resolution graphics and the quirky premise has made the title a cult favorite for retro collectors seeking a curious cross‑genre adventure.
Storyline
In Nekketsu Koukou Dodgeball‑bu: CD Soccer‑hen, eight members of the school’s team—Atsushi, Genei, Hiroshi, Kunio, Masa, Masahiro, Susumu and Takashi—enter a nationwide soccer tournament. They face off against thirteen rival high schools, battling through each match to prove their skill and school spirit. The game follows their progress as they strive to become champions.
