This was one of the three games for my N64 that came in the bundle I bought quite a long time back for $45. It also came with another stinker I never even inserted into machine to this day - Blues Brothers, BUT, it did come with one of the most memorable games I've played on it - Pokémon Snap. ;)
Mia definitely deserved a better game than this. She was doing commercials with Michael Jordan at one point. She and that U.S Women's Soccer Team were a big deal here.
I have no strong opinion either which way. I am the paragon of neutrality. The interlacing in this video was super noticeable. Is that true of the game as you played it? Or is it an artifact from the video making process?
Probably the one football/soccer game that has more unique version of any on just one system. Was probably the best way to market it in America though as women's football was much more popular at the time in comparison to mens. Never really liked the feel of the gameplay of the Michael Owen version in comparison to ISS but at least it had club teams in it.
This is a time when women's football wasn't taken seriously 😥 shame cause I have seen women pull of moves that I never could 😬 ( not exactly a football fan) but still I find this review fascinating for being unknown to me 😮👍
I’m 6ft 3 and 15 stone in weight, the T-shirt I have is EU XL or L North American size. It gives a comfortable fit, not too tight but not baggy. It’s all handed by teespring so im not sure what their returns/ exchange policy is like
Never heard of it before but did have Michael Owen. Interesting curiosity but looks like to be a female player, you need a pony tail! They are all nearly sporting one 😀
Glenn i am having a hard time finding the US version of ISS 2000's gameplay on RUclips i'd rather play that than this. So what does ISS 2000 have in place of the missing scenario mode other than proper team member names
@@AxlTheScourge iss 2000 is overhyped. it is not as good as he says, i have 98 and 2000, 2000 just has bit more content but gameplay is the same, AI and goal keep. not worth the expense imo
I honestly do not care if I'm playing a women or mens only sports game as long as the gameplay is good. To this day PES6 is still the game of choice when playing football games with my friends and that's certainly not because of the graphics or other minor matters. Gameplay is king. That is all that matters to me.
The thing is Women sports don't sell. I don't want to be mean but if you just make a WNBA game it not going to sell if you are selling it for $40 to $60. I do believe putting the WNBA in a NBA game is good. Like NBA Live is doing and even Fifa did that to.
I dont think that there is a market big enough for woman only sports games to be profitable with todays production costs. I would also assume that the vast majority of fifa players are males who consume the male football leagues on TV etc. They simply dont care about womans football and they are the target audience of set product. And to be honest i watched womans football games... I did not enojoy it. However it is good that you can play a few woman teams on the newer fifa games.
I think a bigger issue is that it's simply not very good overall. I mean Christine Sinclair is currently on 177 goals and 54 assists for Canada in 274 games! It's not the Ontario Hockey League!

what a mixed bundle that was!
A Glenn review brightens up a shite monday 👍
😂😂 really does
thanks Michael, long video inbound for tonight
N64 Glenn Plant gettin on it now
That was a banger of a first goal.
How have you not run out of N64 games to review.
jerglow guess this is evidence that he’s running out!
ill be done this year
@@n64glennplant Does that mean we will have a Gamecube Glenn Plant channel in the future?
31 more games to go
Mia definitely deserved a better game than this. She was doing commercials with Michael Jordan at one point. She and that U.S Women's Soccer Team were a big deal here.
yeah I remember the MJ commercial but thinking who the heck is this woman I have no idea back then
When playing this years ago I remembered knowing how to score from the half way line.
Yay new Glenn video.
another tonight too :)
@@n64glennplant awesome.
I still have it and still have fun playing, tbh my mom brought me the wrong soccer game n played this instead 😂
haha what did you ask her for
I think it was fifa 99
i had micheal owen WLS2000 on my n64. Was a god awful game in comparison to fifa 99 and ISS series. But still played the shit out of it.
I have no strong opinion either which way. I am the paragon of neutrality.
The interlacing in this video was super noticeable. Is that true of the game as you played it? Or is it an artifact from the video making process?
depends on screen etc but when playing not noticeable but the processing always draws it out in many games
But to reply to your actual question...if a sports game doesn't have Mario in it, I have little motivation to ever play it.
thats a great point!
Never played this game but its release felt like a quick cash grab to capitalize on Mia's popularity back in the day. Thanks for the review.
Can she twerk?
@@hondamanvtec2894 probably.
hahahahaha
I remember playing Michael Owen's World League Soccer on Playstation. It was actually quite an owkey game, better than I expected.
You know I always wondered why she was so popular all of a sudden in the late 90's
Now you know 😬
I just realized the music, was that actually in the game?! And oh god that font in the thumbnail... early 2000s indeed.
yup that was from the game
I totally had a crush on her when I was a kid haha
Same
The interlaced artifacts or whatever these called... Capture software issue?
some games go hard like this one did
I thought it was Rey from Star Wars in the thumbnail... I've been watching too many Star Wars videos lately.
haha now you mention it....
I never knew this game existed, never owned a 64 either but damn.
Its not worth picking a console up for but maybe if you’re interested enough 😀

yeah ISS wiped the floor with this no doubt
I do feel they deserve more games and women are really good sports.
any other sports aside from volleyball?
@@n64glennplant I think football, baseball and tennis would be alright.
This is a time when women's football wasn't taken seriously 😥 shame cause I have seen women pull of moves that I never could 😬 ( not exactly a football fan) but still I find this review fascinating for being unknown to me 😮👍
yeah the game was just starting off, even now its not huge is it
Bit off topic but you don't know what the sizing is like on your hoodies?
I’m 6ft 3 and 15 stone in weight, the T-shirt I have is EU XL or L North American size. It gives a comfortable fit, not too tight but not baggy. It’s all handed by teespring so im not sure what their returns/ exchange policy is like
That's a very interesting name for a soccer player!
I always thought that too
@@n64glennplant Same Page! Really nice to hear!
Never heard of it before but did have Michael Owen. Interesting curiosity but looks like to be a female player, you need a pony tail! They are all nearly sporting one 😀
haha so true !
Well this is probably one of the most unnecesary N64 games... ISS all the way!
amen to that!
I'm sure it's not a bad game, but WHAT demand was there for this to be a thing! LOL!
I know crazy right
Glenn i am having a hard time finding the US version of ISS 2000's gameplay on RUclips i'd rather play that than this. So what does ISS 2000 have in place of the missing scenario mode other than proper team member names
nothing added they just took the RPG mode out of certain versions
@@n64glennplant ahhh so its only minus 1 mode. its rather expensive here. so it would be better to get 98 for the scenario mode?
@@AxlTheScourge iss 2000 is overhyped. it is not as good as he says, i have 98 and 2000, 2000 just has bit more content but gameplay is the same, AI and goal keep. not worth the expense imo
I wonder how Mia Hamm actually felt about this game. Like, was she proud to have her name on a sub par product?
probably not bothered as the extra pay would have been welcomed I imagine haha
N64 Glenn Plant Haha! Too true! At any rate, great review, Glenn! As always, I’m looking forward to your next video.
There are cases where players do motion capture or something. This wasn’t one of those cases, though. Lol!
well Glenn, you know I'm a fan because I'm watching a video about a woman's soccer video game.
I honestly do not care if I'm playing a women or mens only sports game as long as the gameplay is good.
To this day PES6 is still the game of choice when playing football games with my friends and that's certainly not because of the graphics or other minor matters.
Gameplay is king. That is all that matters to me.
I lost interest in the series when they turned it into PES, played a few of the early ones but nothing for like 10 years now

Well the men's only sports games aren't selling that well either. I suppose they could have both genders in one game. Better then microtransactions...
That what I say. WNBA in the NBA.
@@alexshayatovich8722
I'm gonna like this comment because it rhymes
UEFA Dream Soccer came out just before which had both men & women, they could even play against each other.
yup, this was the first women only one though
1:38 qué carajos XD
esto es futbol femenino ? :v

Wait, Taiwan had a female football team?
haha they are made up
That animation is so slow it gives me a headache.
Women run slower
@@adamphillip5305 I know, that's why they can never run away from me.
hahahahahahahahhahaha
1080 snowboarding
The world is still waiting for a WNBA video game.
any day now haha
I dont know who Mia Hamm is. and Glenn after this horrible game i dont think i want to.....
Mia can twerk
@@hondamanvtec2894 and?
Hola
I'd say we need fewer sports titles in general. But of course women are underrepresented, so if we must have bloody sports games, it should be equal.
great point
Even with the crappy graphics and poor animation the goalkeepers still look better than the woman ones in real life 😂😂
brace yourself....the SJW will be coming for you haha
