An exact release date has not been announced yet. Publisher EA said that those who missed the preorder period but still want NHL 94 Rewind can get the mode sometime this holiday. Now Playing: Top New Video Games Releasing On Switch, PS4, Xbox One, And PC This Month - October 2020 Sadly, the series ceased production in 2003, and there hasn't really been anything like it since.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's These games combined a more realistic hockey experience with overpowered body checking, some relaxed rules, and frequent breaks for fighting. An even more interesting prospect would be a game similar to the 3 on 3 NHL Arcade spin-off EA released back in 2009, which featured fast-paced, 3D gameplay based around powerups, skill moves, and physical play.Īnother now-defunct but beloved hockey franchise that could benefit from a reboot or reimagining would be the early-2000s era's NHL Hitz. Players on Xbox and Playstation consoles are treated to a new NHL game each year, but EA Sports has so far shown no interest in making the game for the Switch (or even a watered-down "legacy edition" like they now do for the FIFA franchise).

Using the Nintendo Switch Online service, players can access the NES library of early Nintendo games, which includes the original Ice Hockey from 1988. If Switch users want some ice hockey action, they really only have one option: go retro.
