NHL 99

NHL 99 is an ice hockey game from EA Canada, published by EA Sports as the follow up to NHL 98. Players get five game modes, eighteen international teams, Bill Clement on commentary and coaching strategies from Stanley Cup winner Marc Crawford, plus an updated 1998 roster featuring the expansion Nashville Predators.

This is the Finnish Original release, catalogued under serial SLES-01445 with a release date of 1 October 1998. It comes in a Full Jewel PAL case and contains a single disc. The language selection covers English, Finnish, French and Swedish, so the game suits its Nordic audience while still sharing the same core pressing as several other territories.

The EAN barcode for this copy has not yet been recorded, which makes the country marking and case details the main ways of confirming it. Finnish releases of EA Sports titles are less commonly seen than UK or German copies, and this is one of six NHL 99 variants catalogued on psxpaldb.com. Collectors filling out a Nordic set will want to check the back cover and spine carefully before buying.
