World Championship Soccer II is the sequel to World Championship Soccer and was released by Sega exclusively for the Sega Mega Drive in 1994. Unlike its prequel, the game was only released in Europe and North America.

Gameplay

World Championship Soccer II is almost an entirely different game compared to its predecessor. Rather than play from an overhead perspective the game opts for a sideways-on approach, and the pitch is notably smaller. There are more playable teams but is otherwise a very basic football game.

Teams

32 teams appear in World Championship Soccer II, compared to World Championship Soccer's 24. As with its predecessor only national teams are represented.

  • Argentina Argentina
  • Australia Australia
  • Brazil Belgium
  • Bolivia Bolivia
  • Brazil Brazil
  • Bulgaria Bulgaria
  • Cameroon Cameroon
  • Colombia Colombia
  • Denmark Denmark
  • England England
  • France France
  • Germany Germany
  • Greece Greece
  • Netherlands Holland
  • Italy Italy
  • Japan Japan
