{{Unreferenced stub|auto=yes|date=December 2009}} {{Cleanup|date=June 2008}} {{GameInfobox | developer = EA Canada, High Score Productions | publisher = EA Sports | engine = | na_rel = {{Release|1995|October|26|NA}} | genre = Sports | style = Ice Hockey | features = Single-player, Multi-player | ratings = ESRB-KA | platforms = DOS, Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy | media = CD-ROM, Game Pak | input = Super Nintendo Controller, Keyboard, Mouse }} '''''NHL 96''''' is an [[ice hockey]] video game developed by [[Electronic Arts]] Canada. It was released on October 26, 1995 and was the successor to ''[[NHL 95]]''. == Game cover == For the first time in the NHL series, two players are on the front cover of NHL 96. == Features == Fighting is reintroduced in ''NHL 96'', as are major and double minor penalties. The PC version is the first game in the series to have multiple cameras, using EA's Virtual Stadium technology, which uses [[2D computer graphics|2D]] sprites on a [[3D computer graphics|3D]] environment. The cover of the game features [[Steve Yzerman]] and [[Scott Stevens]], and [[Get Ready for This|Get Ready For This]] by [[2 Unlimited]] is used as the game's main theme. The game includes the [[Quebec Nordiques]], even though the team had moved and become the [[Colorado Avalanche]] before the start of the [[1995β96 NHL season|1995β96 season]]. ''NHL 96'' was the last game in the series that included two players on the cover in North America. Since ''[[NHL 97]]'', the games' covers have single players. Fighting was also brought back which included three new animations for a fight ending; knocking the losing player on his back, injuring him to cause him to squirm on the ice, and by pulling the losing player to the ice with the jersey over his head while being able to still throw punches. Game modes include: exhibition, season and playoffs. == Information == * Covers: Steve Yzerman/Scott Stevens (Main) * Released for: :* [[DOS]] :* [[Mega Drive|Sega Mega Drive/Genesis]] :* [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] :* [[Game Boy]] == Soundtrack == {| class="wikitable" style="font-size:90%; text-align:center; width:50%; margin: 5px;" |-{{Unicode|}} !colspan="2" style="background:#C8C8FF;" | NHL 1996 Soundtrack |- !style="background:#ddddee;" | Artist !style="background:#ddddee;" | Song |- |[[2 Unlimited]] |"[[Get Ready for This]]" |} {{VG Reviews | align=right | GSpot =79% | EGM =75.5% | NP =68% }} {{NHL series}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Nhl 96}} {{Hockey-videogame-stub}} [[fr:NHL 96]]
