Super Blood Hockey
Super Blood Hockey Physical Edition Coming to the Nintendo Switch on December 7 - New Trailer
The physical edition of Super Blood Hockey is scheduled to arrive on December 7, thanks to Premium Edition Games, a brand-new Nintendo Switch physical edition publisher.
Super Blood Hockey, developed by one-man indie studio Loren Lemcke and published by Digerati, is a retro, arcade-style ice hockey game that turns up violence to a potentially unhealthy level considering the human body only holds 10 pints of blood.
Players that use a combination of superior skating, positioning, strategy, and blood-splattering, bone-crunching violence will find themselves winning one of Super Blood Hockey’s multiple game modes, including Exhibition, Tournament, Challenge, and Franchise Modes.
Leaderboards are also available to passive aggressively show your friends, and rivals, just how brutal you can be in the rink. If you prefer the direct and assertive route, Super Blood Hockey supports up to 4 players in local multiplayer puckfests.

If you missed our Super Blood Hockey review last June, you can read it here. We also posted a franchise mode strategy guide.
All in all, I found Super Blood Hockey to be an entertaining title with a good amount of variety to check out. The only real knock I would mention is the fighting aspect. It just seemed to be a little too goofy — if that is even possible for this type of game. If you’re a serious EA NHL player who is looking for the real NHL hockey experience with beautiful graphics, this might not be the title for you. However, if you’re simply looking for a fun, entertaining hockey title in a dried up pool of options, this title is definitely worth checking out. Just bring a towel, there will be blood.
