38 of 38 · most liked firstIf Konami's Track & Field, Hyper Sports and Combat School had had a baby, it would've been called Super Sportmatchen! If you ever enjoyed any of those games back in the arcades, then you'll love this. Needs more events, though. I hope the game is a success - it deserves to stand out in the pit of 'Steam Slop'...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Is it good for small kids and teens? That's the question many of you are wondering so i will try to answer that: 100m dash : Doable for all ages but kids will be frustrated by the tripping mechanic when you press same button twice. (you are supposed to alternate between A and B and it can be quite hard to do that fast) Boll Toss: A favorite for all ages. even smaller children learn this relatively fast. Hoops: Small children? No. Teens? Maybe but probably no. DONT include AI here and it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super Sportmatchen ($1.49) - "i crave a new Track & Field. it should be multiplayer. it should also be intentionally stupid as hell. it should be the kind of game best when you and friends are like three beers deep." i am shoving this straight into your hands. store.steampowered.com/app/749860/S...

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bots are unnecessarily difficult and some events have buggy controls
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has big NES sports compilation energy and has a lot of fun aspects to it. I enjoy it marginally and my kids think it's ok but the reason I can't give this a recommendation is the AI is way to aggressive. My kids and I tried several different ways to do a lot of the events and the AI just blew us out of the water by massive margin. So playing against bots is no fun but what about playing in groups. It's ok but this game suffers from early NES sport compilation issue of if you don't…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun local multiplayer game, I used to love International Track & Field, we need more games like this
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought for kids to play. Insanely strict on basic running games. Aggravating A.I for others. I don't want to play this. Definitely not going to subject children to it. The only things that are enjoyable is the boat/runner game. And the skeet shoot game. There are a million better runner type games and I'm gonna try https://store.steampowered.com/app/1519190/Duck_Flighting/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1361440/DuelVox/ to see if they are better. Everything else in the game is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't hit the play button, I can only go into settings by pressing enter. I pressed all the buttons on my keyboard and nothing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What is Super Sportmachen ? For the little price I got this game on its a pretty fun and funny altho limited sports indie game, here you have a collection of 10 pretty simplistic sports with the maximum of 4 player per sport, you can play against ai or coop mates locally, some sports are kinda ♥♥♥♥ and others range from fine to pretty fun, for the little price I got this game I think it deserves a recommendation but I wish it had more sports options, I feel 10 is too little considering how…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →tiny little local co-op game of minigames only 10 short minigames i cant for the life of me start the game with my keyboard, pressed every key on the keyboard and all i can do is go into the settings and close the game with Esc pressing it a 2nd time after backing out of the options. using an xbox controller i can start the game in single player and play, but i still cant add anybody with the keyboard so i cant try the local co-op 15$ for 10 minigames it a little much, $1.50 per minigame
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →good local player fun. felt nice and old school at times. some really solid events, some less so. agree that it would be nice to see a couple more events make it into the game. paid full price $17.49 CDN... and while that may be a bit high normally, it hit the mark for the crew that played it for the session that we did. if that makes sense. in other words, we had a lot of fun. and we'll be playing it again. i recommend. and really, i've paid more for a double at an airport bar...…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THE CPU CHEATS I SWEAR Would you rather watch than read? Me too. Check out the highlights of the gameplay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahRWlyVZPFU Let me start by saying that this game is EXTREMELY FUN. It has a lot of minigames that will keep you busy for hours with challenging the CPU in all of these "sports". Now that that's out of the way... THE CPU FREAKIN' CHEATS. I swear to god even on medium sometimes it feels like the CPU is playing God tier status while you are playing in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has SO much potential. I really want to LOVE IT. Should they update it, with slight game-play adjustments, and add more events, this could become a real winner. As it stands, there aren't enough keepers, in the bunch, but, the keepers, just may be good enough, to be worth it to you, for breaking out with friends, to throw down some simple competition. I'd like to see it closer to $10, but, that's not my business. Keep an eye on this one. Full review, and overview of all events, here:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super Sportmatchen's a heck of a lot of fun. 4 players so been enjoying it with the kids - basketball's our favourite but the capybara throw's challenging and good for a laugh. Good mix of button mashing & accuracy, simple gameplay, smooth controls. Super Sportmatchen's a modern take on classic Konami's Track & Field. Full of glorious pixel art and has a quirky sense of humour. Love the twist on traditional sports like the capybara throw. For more niche curation, follow me at:…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is broken. it doesn't work. I was pressing enter to start the game for a couple of minutes. then i saw a race start, i thought the game started somehow, however it was just an AFK screen and went back to the broken main menu. the loading screen literally has a lag, which is bad for a pixel game title. this is not large that should have input lag like that. and for the price of it, it's not a good deal by any means. i love trying indie titles and pixel games, but this one is not it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am a fan of the classic Track & Field and Combat School arcade games, so Super Sportmatchen caught my eye. I was hesitant to pick it up due to the mixed reviews, but I bought it during a sale. My friends and I played Super Sportmatchen for the first time last night and we all thought it was good. It is a great homage to the 80s arcade games, but with its own unique charm. I highly recommend it for local 4 player fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its a fun time with some friends over but a little to expensive
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stack on menu "PRESS ANY BUTTON" Even reading old reviews from 2018 bugs are not fixed IN 2k22. Dont waste money for this S H I T
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely not worth $15. It's 12 mini-games, and none are particularly fun. The controls aren't well mapped; have fun trying to mash A and B to run, instead of anything that would make sense. Additionally, the pacing is not well done; there's no way to skip text during an event, and the length of events varies widely (basket ball is a couple of minutes, the dash is a few seconds.) Disappointing at best; would not recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got this little gem in a bundle that I'm sure only added it as filler, but it turns out it has some charm! If you're a fan of Track & Field on the NES, and looking for some nostalgia... look no further! Maybe next we can get World Class Track Meet with the Power Pad XD.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Would I recommend to a friend. 👎
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →super underrated game fun with friends nice pixel art and the game plays pretty good 7/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fire this up with family a few times every year,just plain fun. best game is bean bag toss, we're always playing multiple matches of this
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →สนุกนะแต่... ไม่มีปุ่มให้กดออกเกมส์ แล้วเล่นบนแท๊บ เข้าแล้วออกไม่ได้ต้องปิดเครื่องอย่างเดียว
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Relive California Games/NES Track & Field memories with this great collection of easy to learn, hard to master sports minigames. Climbing, basketball, and the ball toss were all party favorites. Seeing a friend max out the multiplayer in Slingshot was one of the most impressive gaming achievements I've ever seen. Remote Play Together makes it super easy for everyone to connect and play if you can't meet up in person.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun competitive game. The only game that doesn't really work is the Hoops game. We modify it by banning pushing, otherwise we end up with zero points each.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The controls are terrible. Couldn't play for even a minute. Maybe fixed with an update to overall functionality.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a single player experience, I had fun for a short while. The downside is that the AI seems completely broken. Some of the games have a steep learning curve, but the game doesn't give you much time to learn before unceremoniously failing you. But, the graphics are endearing. This is clearly intended as a multiplayer experience, you will get more mileage out of it playing with friends and family. Recommended if you are desperate for party games, and this is on sale. Otherwise, move along. Not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Think NES sports games and get all your friends together to play them! This is an awesome game that brings back so many good NES memories and retro style games! Great fun! https://youtu.be/azxNBCyLlU8
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great party game but CPU is too good at the Animal Feed mini game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awesome party game, needs better controller support
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super Sportmatchen 是一個配合以前紅白機的年代的畫面和配樂的运动游戏。但注意咯,這個游戲只適合4人一起玩。CPU 幾乎無敵,會大大降低娛樂性。 It's a great game to play with friends. We enjoyed it a lot. But the AI is almost impossible to beat, so it's not suitable for playing alone.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely a good game to play with friends. We had some good laughs and put it on the list to get back to some day. Recommend on sale though since it's not going to give you hours upon hours of play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is awesome! I thought it would be one of those cheap 8-bit games that don't work but this is incredibly well made. So many small details that just make my day when I see them, and all characters have their own personalities it's so cute! These is only one little issue that playing with any controller other that xbox means you have to memorise which button maps to xbox's A, B and Y buttons. Unless there is a way to change those then I'd be happy to hear. I'm hopefully looking forward…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fantastic local multiplayer game (with steam remote play. if you haven't used it before, check it out) all the minigames are really fun, and the bots provide a good challenge. You can always turn the bots off if you find it too difficult though, and just play with friends. If you're looking for a game you and quickly pick up and play with friends, this is it! I'm not sure I would pay full price for it, but 100% worth grabbing on sale! Really hope it get's an expansion or something, though I'm…
