History
Development
Initially, the game was developed by the 1993 iteration of Sega CS3, featuring developers that were concurrently working on the Mega Drive games Streets of Rage 3 and OutRunners, all produced by Makoto Oshitani. However, it was released 3 months after a reorganization of Sega's development departments,[3], which predates the game's being known to the public,[4] so had to be finished by Sega CS4, some of whose members are given special thanks, and with Koichi Nagata also credited as producer. It also gives special thanks to various members of Sega AM1, at least one of whom, Attila Vass, is known to have worked on The J.League 1994 which released the same month, suggesting the two teams may have influenced the others' work.
Legacy
A ROM hack of this game known as Futbol Argentino 96 was unofficially distributed in South America, similarly to other football games like International Superstar Soccer Deluxe which were notorious for being redistributed as localised ROM hacks across the continent, replacing the teams and players with those from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia or Peru.
