Super Volleyball

Considering that it's an Olympic sport, Volleyball should be held in high regard when it comes to video games. Unfortunately, no one really paid much attention to it for a long time, at least not on the level of the NBA, NFL, and MLB. Then again, when you take games like Super Volleyball as an example of the genre, it's no wonder people didn't want to touch the sport. Dull and generic in every sense of the word, this is the one release that no one remembers. Read our full review and stick with Kings of the Beach on the NES.

I'm starting to think really bad things right now..... :(
Every single game I love is being utterly bashed these last few weeks :?

I won't even read the review because I know I'm gonna be pissed. :mad:

There's a reason why Sega-16 provides reader comments and scores...

BOO. Super Volleyball is a great Genesis sports game. If you are not impressed by the gameplay and music (I like it :p) then surely you must at least be moved by the Japanese team's names:

Though I can't think what the flip Mifne is. :/

I never noticed that! That's a cool in-joke, man.

My biggest problem is that this doesn't resemble volleyball very well at all and if it did try to, it had a horrible viewing angle. I just don't like this game.

I think the exact opposite of your statement.
It DOES resemble volleyball well and the viewing angle is PERFECT.
If it had the new rules then it would be the DEFINITIVE volleyball game.

On a side note, has anybody ever played the Oretachi Game Center version available for the PS2, which is supposed to be arcade perfect?

Keep in mind that this game was successful. It spawned two arcade follow-ups, both of which received home console ports.

PS: "System V" or "V System" stands for Video System, the developers of Super Volleyball.

I had a laugh over that one, they are all makes of car

"Sadly, what is on the agenda looks nothing like the attractive women and leaves me with no amount of inebriation like copious amounts of alcohol at the beach."

I hate when that happens! :rofl:

Many friends of mine who played volleyball on the court says that game represents very well the basics of the sport. V-System sacrified a little in graphics to emphasize on what volleyball is all about: serves, spikes, blocks, receptions and so on.

I like this one and had it, complete, in the nineties. It was very fun then. And that was only the beginings of a sports series. Super Volleyball 2 (Super Famicom), relesead in West as Hyper V-Ball, is better than this one. And the Power Spikes 2 for Neo Geo can be considered as the best one. If you have MAME or another emulator which is NeoGeo-compatible, I recommend.

There are another two volleyball games released in 16-bit era, either for the Super NES: Dig & Spike Volleyball and Volleyball Twin (Japan-only). The first one got good graphics but have somewhat complicated controls and it's a little slow. The second, I haven't played so much. The backwards view isn't good for a volleyball game.

agreed with you there it reperesents the sport very well

Hi all.

I'm a spammer douche!

Way to go, your first post on the site is spamming your homemade game. Lame Lame Lame Lamo!

I don't really think these guys are human. They're just some program that registers and spams some random thread.

Just beat this, and wrote a little bit about it in the beat 'em all thread. Obviously the presentation is a little subpar, and the manual is borderline awful, but once I got the hang of what was going on, it turned out to be a pretty fun playthrough. I'd put it in the 6/10 range, and I could see 7/10 if co-op were factored in.

They had an arcade machine of this in a bar near my house. I think this is a fine conversion that sacrifices presentation (little funny screens like the hilarious game over one, voices, images of the players) for teams (on the version I played back then you could only play as Japan).
At the time, volleyball enjoyed a brief time of popularity in my country because of the success of the anime Attacker You!, and the [apparent] simplicity of this game brought in lots of gamers.

So, yep, I like this one too.
