Earlier this week, we shared the exciting news that Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is headed to Nintendo Switch, bringing the franchise back to games consoles for the first time in a decade. The trailer presented in that announcement was one thing, but now we've got a good chunk of gameplay to watch, too.
Above, you can see a full match between Nankatsu Middle School (Tsubasa Oozora) and Toho Academy (Kojiro Hyuga). There's plenty to take in over the duration of the match, but our favourite thing about this early footage is the animated cutscenes which take place after certain shots are made - it sure makes a difference to the extreme realism attempted by your more traditional FIFA games.
No release date has been announced for this one just yet, but we'll make sure to be on the lookout for more info as and when it arrives.
Are you liking what you see? Think this could turn out to be a must-have soccer title for Switch? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.

welp, day one purchase for now surely. to supplement my FIFA addiction, rather than replace.
Was kind of hoping this would be menu-based like the Famicom ones, heh.
This looks awesome.
Gameplay looks a bit too basic
This looks fun.
Pretty neat! I'm not expecting FIFA-like gameplay in the first place so this is a breath of fresh air for me. Big fan of the anime too.
Gameplay looks great and engaging - makes me want to pick up Inazuma Eleven instead though. Why do all these characters look EXACTLY THE SAME!?
As someone who’s not a fan of soccer (I find it tedious) that was fairly exciting to watch. The Shaolin Soccer vibe is actually making me consider it
So I guess this is the PS4 version. Field animation needs a bit of work.
They also seem to be playing America Football for a sec there - that guy got tackled!... 😂
Looks like fun. I'll do a Captain Tsubasa + FIFA combo, like my old FORZA+MarioKart combo. Keeps both fresh.
Definitely on the Switch list
Looks like an entertaining arcade footy game on one hand, but on the other hand, there's several things that I don't like:
And a personal niggle of mine is the Japanese commentary.
I think it's simply horrible, what with all the constant shouting and calling. I sincerely hope that there's also an option for English commentary...
It’ s great idea an arcade soccer with captain Tsubasa license but I Hope the final version will be faster ..seems a bit boring and repetitive right now
@ThatNyteDaez YESSSS THIS
For people that aren't fans of captain tsubasa no need complaining jump in or get off. This game is perfect for the fans in the 90's of which I'm one of them.
Give me virtua striker 2 or 3 anyday!
Why do they look like they are running in molasses?
@ThanosReXXX The Anime is exactly like this. No fouls no penalties, just crazy shots and people tackling each other from miles away.
I love it.
@Rpg-lover exactly
@Lord also Mario strikers
@arnoldlayne83 Kind of reminds me of Red Card Soccer.
Not too bad. Gameplay could be a little better but it looks fun. I’d rather buy this than FIFA on Switch.
I loved this series as a child in the early 90s. This games captures the series feeling perfectly. Insta buy
