NHL 96 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System builds on EA Sports’ growing hockey legacy by delivering a faster, more refined take on professional ice hockey. Set during the 1995–1996 NHL season, the game features official teams, player names, and authentic league presentation, allowing players to jump into the action as their favorite franchises. While there is no traditional story mode, the structure revolves around season play, playoffs, and exhibition matches that mirror the flow of real NHL competition.

Gameplay emphasizes speed, positioning, and physical play, with smoother animations and improved player responsiveness compared to earlier entries in the series. Players can pass, shoot, check, and deke their way through matches, while goalies react dynamically to shots and rebounds. NHL 96 introduces enhancements such as one-timers, improved AI behavior, and more detailed rink presentation, helping the on-ice action feel more fluid and competitive. Multiple camera angles and adjustable settings allow players to tailor the experience to their preferred style of play.

Often referred to simply as NHL ’96, this Super Nintendo release is remembered as one of the strongest 16-bit hockey games of its era. With its authentic teams, refined mechanics, and accessible yet challenging gameplay, NHL 96 delivers a classic sports experience that captures the intensity and excitement of mid-90s NHL action on the SNES.
