Introduction
Kunio Kun's Nekketsu (Hot Blooded) Soccer League is a sort of sequel to Nekketsu High School Dodgeball Club: Soccer Edition (bastardised and released in the US and Europe as Nintendo World Cup Soccer). The basic game is the same - you control one player, usually Kunio (known in the US as Alex, Crash, Mr.K, or John... Fuck, you'd think Technos would at least try to be consistent) and give instructions to the others. But this one has weather effects, super shots, more moves... and it kicks the crap out of most (maybe all) other NES soccer games.
The story is something like- Kunio and a bunch of soccer players from Nekketsu High School want to be the World #1 soccer team, so they enter the Nekketsu Soccer League. Winning enough games in this would allow them to participate in the Technos Japan Cup, and winning that would prove they are the world #1.

ROM
I don't have ROMs here, and never will as long as I'm on Tripod. It's "Kunio Kun no Nekketsu Soccer League (J)", and it's easy to find if you know a site with a full GoodNES set. Unlike all the GB Nekketsu games - it doesn't help that the ones that are on the GoodGBX listing don't even have the right names. Dammit.

Status
NOW it's finished. Probably.
