[SWORD SWOOSH] BLADES! OF! STEEL!

One of the weirdest and greatest hockey games in videogame history just got a fantastic remix by NBC Sports.

To promote Game One of the Stanley Cup Final between the Boston Bruins and the St. Louis Blues on Monday, the @NHLonNBCSports Twitter account released a video featuring an “update” to the mid-90s Nintendo game Blades of Steel

Video

OH man. Oh man oh man oh man.

NBC hit all the essential details here.

  • They updated all the copyright information in the opening
  • Beginning a game remains an anxiety-ridden task with infinite popup boxes
  • The little Zamboni has the NBC peacock logo on it
  • There’s a Stanley Cup bracket
  • The players, who do some figure skating before playing, have update jersey colors

Yep. This is a home run. To all the youngins out there, this is how ya boi used to spend 90 percent of his free time as a kid: playing an 8-bit video game created by people who I am deeply skeptical ever watched hockey once. Or maybe they watched one game ever and that was the actual problem.
