Reception

The game received "mixed" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. IGN said of the N64 version, "Konami's NHL Blades of Steel '99 title was plagued by terrible gameplay and horrible control and few nice touches didn't compensate for a disappointing and generally dull game." Nintendo Power gave the same console version a mixed review over a month before it was released stateside, while the same magazine gave the GBC version a mixed review over two months before it was released.
