Anyone who has played International Superstar Soccer 64 (ISS 64) will probably remember this even if they’re not aware of it. If you haven’t read the title already, I’m of course talking about the ISS 64 commentator, who repeated the same catchphrases over and over again till they were drilled into our memories. Now, most of use would have repressed that memory into the back of our heads, but someone came onto Twitter to make it repeat in our head once more.

The ISS 64 Commentator
The account was created during during the late UEFA Eurocup 2012 and he commented directly about the Italy-Germany semifinal, and I’m not too sure why, but He talked about the final match two days after it happened… Maybe it’s just that the software I’m using is a bit inaccurate.
Finishing the Eurocup with the final match.
Later on, he commented on a whole bunch of other matches that I don’t really know squat about. I’m just going to assume that they’re all about some game that he plays himself on the Nintendo 64, rather than an actual professional football match.
In 2014, the ISS 64 Commentator came back to (I suppose) talking about professional football with the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
I won’t bother you any longer with describing it though since it is getting quite boring and redundant. Instead, I suggest that you just have a look for yourself:

International Superstar Soccer 64 (officially abbreviated as ISS 64 and known as Jikkyou World Soccer 3 in Japan) is a footballvideo game developed by Konami Computer Entertainment Osaka in the International Superstar Soccer series by Konami and released for the Nintendo 64 that is essentially a Nintendo 64 version of International Superstar Soccer Pro. The game on the whole is similar to the PlayStation version (including the same player names) but with some teams having a more inaccurate home or away kit. As for its team lineup, it follows more closely the Super NES version of International Superstar Soccer Deluxe, only with South Africa (or, if this version is considered from the conversion, Romania) replacing Morocco.

Gameplay
In essence, the game is quite the same as its Super NES predecessor, International Superstar Soccer Deluxe, vastly upgraded for the Nintendo 64, with 3D animation, fluid and fast-paced gameplay. While it kept largely the same team roster (with the teams now sporting near-authentic kits), South Africa debuted in this game as a selectable side, replacing Morocco. However, the Japanese version of ISS 64 has teams that are not present in the overseas versions, such as Bolivia, Yugoslavia, Canada and Saudi Arabia.
There are six game modes, including a fun multiplayer 1-4 player (except for everyone's icons being the same color) exhibition mode and training. International Cup has the player competing against a range of teams from around the world in a round robin tournament; World League is a series of 70 matches against every one of other teams in the game.
The player can also contest a penalty shoot-out competition with up to 4 players, or attempt to complete certain scenario games (where each game is set up with a specific goal, for example scoring a goal within a given time limit, or stopping the opposing team from scoring, etc.).
Reception
IGN gave International Superstar Soccer 64 a rating of 9.0 out of 10. They stated 'Konami didn't sacrifice responsiveness for motion-capture' but criticised the presentation by saying there was no FIFA license and that the overall look was a bit cartooney.[1]
