The game combines traditional sports elements with the signature brawling style of Nekketsu, creating an entirely new and intense experience.

In the game, players control the Nekketsu hockey team, featuring familiar characters like Kunio and Riki. The main objective is to score goals against the opposing team by using sticks and the hockey puck. However, things are far from simple. The ice rink is not just a place for skating but a true battleground. Players can attack opponents by punching, kicking, or even using their sticks to knock them down. When an opponent is defeated, they will lose the puck and may be temporarily removed from the ice, giving your team an advantage.

A distinctive feature of Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey-bu is the "Special Move" (Hissatsu Waza) system. Each character or team can possess their own unique shots or attacks, dealing significant damage or creating unstoppable shots. For example, Kunio might have a powerful "Nekketsu Shot," while other opponents also have their own unique techniques. To execute these moves, players usually need to build up energy or perform a specific button combination.

Matches take place on various ice rinks, each with its own characteristics. Some rinks may feature obstacles such as ice holes, traps, or slow-down zones, requiring players to constantly adjust their strategy. Item elements also appear; sometimes power-ups or recovery items will drop onto the ice, giving players a temporary advantage.

The main game mode is the tournament, where the Nekketsu team must face a series of strong rival teams, each with their own playing style and special moves. The characteristic 8-bit graphics of the NES, along with vibrant and cheerful music, contribute to the exciting and sometimes chaotic atmosphere of the game. Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey-bu - Subette Koronde Dairantou is a unique action sports game, providing hours of laughter-filled and competitive entertainment.
