In 1995, ''[[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Bandai]]'' was given the rights to make two Captain Tsubasa J, which ends up with horrible quality.

{{Touhou}} fandom also made an AffectionateParody video game based on Captain Tsubasa 2, entitled: [[VideoGame/TouhouSoccer Touhou Soccer Moushuuden]] on PC.

** Adverted sighly on Captain Tsubasa from Sega CD where he actually can stop regular shots and some weak special shots, however he can't stop any special shots from the main characters.

** Actually before Captain Tsubasa V there is a chance (which seems 5%) where any player can do an critical move like: dribble, pass, shot, head shot, volley shot, tackle or block.

The first video game adaptaion of ''CaptainTsubasa'' was made by ''{{Tecmo}}''' for [[NintendoEntertainmentSystem Nintendo Famicom]] in 1988. The game adapts the second part of the original Manga, as the titular Tsubasa Ozora leads his Nankatsu Middle School's soccer club through a National Tournament against Hyuga Kojiro's Toho FC, toward the finale of U-16 World Cup division in France against West Germany Youth Jr. The American adaptation of the game is made in 1992 under the name ''Tecmo Cup: Soccer Game'', which was heavily altered and censored because of an [[CulturalTranslation Americanization policy]].

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: If you idle at the beginning of a match, [[CombatCommentator the commentator]] will start complaining or falling asleep.

* ''Captain Tsubasa: Ōgon Sedai no Chōsen'' (2002 - NintendoGamecube)

* RecurringCharacter: Gill and Renato stay with Sao Paolo in every game the team present. Even more, Gill is the best attacker in Captain Tsubasa V if we don't consider the special techniques. However Renato... is more like Morisaki by that moment.

** And Captain Tsubasa V took this to a literal extreme with [[spoiler: Canarias Stars, the BonusBoss from this game]]. They seems to be normal players... but just check their stats... there are 3 players who can defeat ''ANY'' GK (including Muller and [[spoiler: Savievic]]) without any effort: [[spoiler: No.2 Leonidas]] with his Overhead Kick, [[spoiler: No.15 Garrincha]] with just ''dribbling'' your GK and the most dangerous, [[spoiler: No.10 ''Arantes'']] with just shooting inside the PK area... outside the area, only Wakabayashi can resist this.

** Taken to a literal extreme in the match between Sao Paulo vs Milan in Captain Tsubasa IV. Only 2 players can beat the GK (Tsubasa and Ishizaki), while the rest of the team, ''including the defense' can beat your GK!

* RecurringCharacter: Gill and Renato stay with Sao Paolo in every game the team present.

* EvilCostumeSwitch: Like in the manga, Roberto wears black eyeglasses when he manages the Brazillian Youth team.

* OverratedAndUnderLeveled: Wakabayashi, while his stats are indeed better than Wakashimazu, the difficulty and his gameplay style which relies on critical catches make him somewhat less reliable during the middle of the game, when Wakashimazu's [[WallJump Sankoku Tobi]] is still an effective method to catch things.

* TheAce: Team captains have a lot better stats than regular players.

* MarriedToTheJob: The main angst involving Sanae is, unlike in ''Road to 2002'' manga, Tsubasa leaves her behind in Japan while he continues playing soccer in Brazil and Italy.
* NintendoHard
* HarderThanHard: By the ''2'''s midgame, Sao Paolo FC is pit against All Japan Youth. Sao Paolo has only Tsubasa, while Japan are made of every best player of Japan except Wakabayashi.
* RecurringCharacter: Gill and Renato stay with Sao Paolo in every game the team present.
* [[CombatCommentator Soccer Commentator]]: Who is totally biased against your team.

** By the time he is the preferred keeper in the last portions of the games, Wakabayashi also tend to get overwheimed by powerful shots to the point a player have to rely more on punching, and even then an unlucky shot made by a {{Mook}} may get pass him. So much for the SGGK.

* AchillesHeel: Meo is weak against air balls, leading Tsubasa into developping Drive Overhead Shoot.

!! ''Captain Tsubasa'' contains examples of the following tropes:

* AwesomeButImpractical: Cyclone costs 500 Guts, and heavily injures Tsubasa's leg in ''3''.

* CriticalHitClass: Wakabayashi in Tecmo's games. Since he doesn't have a special save, he has high critical rate instead. Averted in others.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: An incompleted Captain Tsubasa V's patch "Boys Soccer Team" has an incredibly amount of {{Engrish}}, mistakes Misugi for Misaki, and calls Shun Nitta "Shinta".

* AwesomeButImpractical: Cyclone costs 500 guts, and heavily injures Tsubasa's leg.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: Musashi FC's Misugi plays only in the second half, though he's powerful enough to makes things even worse for ''you''. Same goes with Brazil Youth's Coimbra.

* CantCatchUp: While regular players do have chances against the opponents, those chances wear thinner and thinner as DifficultySpike starts telling you only a few key players can score effectively.

* CulturalTranslation: The two ''Tecmo Cup'' games.
