NHL 99 intro

[Relel]

Best. Game. Ever.

[fkej]

I got tears in my eyes, man..

[TAG037]

I've played and owned the N64, PC, and PS1 versions. It was the bomb!

[cmadzzz]

This reminds me why i love hockey

[ondebonde]

I bought the latest NHL a week ago I thought: "What have they done to my game" :(

[TOSportsFan1990]

@ondebonde The new games are good, but theres hardly any difference year to year anymore, and theres no epic intros like this one. These games defined my childhood, the new ones are more for something to do when I'm bored.

[Omgimacow]

holy shit. I haven't seen this intro on ten years..

[Elraldor]

Was an great game :)

[gizmondo69]

What's the song starting at 1:10

[IvanBeSerious]

1999, the year I started playing NHL, and the year I fell in love with the game.

Old memories never fade

[hupu4]

best nhl game ever <3

[labombonera]

Best NHL game with the best intro EVER... Mighty Ducks of Anaheim with Selanne and Kariya... Will never be forgotten!

[coloradokid1992]

@labombonera can't even begin to imagine how much I used that squad... long live those Mighty Ducks

[MrDollstah]

this reminds me that time goes so fast!

[GunnerFX]

Oh my god, does this ever bring back memories. Good ol' days of hockey.

[MrPrognosisX]

Before I was a fan of any team in the nhl, I got this game and absolutely went crazy over the Joseph clip in this video. If he hadn't went to Toronto that year, I'd be an Oilers fan. But when I found out he was in TO... I became a fan... and a proud one ever since!

[lindrosboss]

best intro of all time NHL.......

[MrFHVman]

oh man..i played the shit outta this game..years of fun!!

[Biisko]

I loved playing this when I was little, I also liked using the cheat code to play while the zamboni was on the ice and while the opening lights were on, great game

[Elakum666]

"Possibly the greatest sports game intro ever." Possibly? POSSIBLY MY ASS, IT IS THE GREATEST SPORTS GAME INTRO EVER!

[rode2fame]

I found my copy of this recently and have been playing it nonstop in my favorite teams to play as are team USA. Canada North American all stars (for obvious reasons) and the new jersey devils

[990611]

It would be great if they did something like this for the next hockey game, NHL 13.

[GangGreen80]

damm i remember playin this like it was yesterday

[acdcrocker22]

GREAT SAVE JOESPH!!

[brandon6pk]

hands down the BEST intro ever, i remember when i was 7 playing this game id watch the intro so much i memorized what the anouncer said during each clip, i still do it to this day and im 20 now, WHAT A SAVE JOSEPH! brings a tear to my eye.

[joman33333]

i always chose New york rangers just to have gretzky on my team :P

[jeppemannensweden]

Loved this game!! you could flip the puck from the red line and score over the goalie!!

[Miqimus]

This intro... wow, i get vibes from this... its incredible. <3

[twistitpullitbopit]

i used to love hockey but now i wouldnt miss it if it dissapeared

BUT, this video brings back good memories of hockey

[Mimonix]

Man, I bought Voodoo 2 3Dfx video card so I could play this game at my pentium I. I remember how I was fascinated by graphics and intro... Those were really good times.

[Magnificat83]

@Mimonix Man,Voodoo 2?...tss...I bought 3Dfx Banshee!2D/3D combined,16MB!!!...oh...i miss mine 15mins of fame...

[tobebtobeb]

"joseph is out of his nest, uh oh! His knocked down, crambling back in kanisabladebletblahblah, GREAT SAVE JOSEPH!!"

[poutzka]

that dougie weight goal is absolutely sick man i miss all these players back in the good days

[ShigeruKanmuri007]

after looking this i missed so much my old PIII PC and my backup of this game i made to CD-R ;-)

[kdad64]

"Joseph's out of his net. Uh,oh he's knocked down. Scrambling back. Corbet's alone in front - GREAT SAVE, JOSEPH!!"

Ridiculous awesomeness!!

[Jiaojiantsui]

Lol my first pirate game :)

[BumperJumperFilms]

I love this song!!!

[ThaNedster828]

Thumbs up if you think EA Sports needs to go back to these kind of videos for their games!!

[Team4not]

David bowie did the original song, who did the NHL 99 version is what he's asking.

[idonthavegoodname1]

i got this game for my 6th birthday I had no idea why the shift in tone was there at around 1:10

[HockeyJokerit]

"The heart and passion of hockey is captured in this intro." "DrHood4" damn... you are sooo right!! :)

[HockeyJokerit]

"Hes mugged! Get back on his feet cant find the puck... Barnaby, shoots SCOOORES!!" Nice, very nice memories from the game! Best Int-ro e-v-e-r!

[nym5cb]

"He's mugged, gets back to his feet, can't find the puck... Barnaby, shoots, SCORES!" The fact that I am watching this about ten years after I last played the game and still getting chills is great. I miss PS1 games so much.

[oilersman95]

@cooperpovl It's "Here's Weight" he was the Captain of the Edmonton Oilers from 1999 - 2001

[cooperpovl]

@oilersman95 Thanks for correction, I wrote it in a hurry so I accidentally typed Wade instead of Weight...stupid mistake.

[oilersman95]

@cooperpovl No probs. Happens to everyone.

[ChidoriFreak23]

We Can Be HEROS! Just for one day!

[DazzleWalkers]

i miss these times when there was not PS2 or XBOX, PS3, XBOX360. I liked nintendo 64 it would be awesome them to be todays games:):)

[vapaach]

This is... there are no words. Let's just say this made me so happy.

[BucketsandGloves]

Best NHL intro, hands down



[BRBaller1213]

I re-bought this game on eBay for 5 bucks, so worth it. I grew up with this game and I was a fool for selling it.

[dkultraslan77]

Best Nhl Intro ever. In my opinion made much more fun than the new ones. I dont know why.

[EMWH]

Oh, this brings me back memories. Years has passed but this is still as awesome as it was in '99. I hope EA would start to do this kind of incredible intros again instead of those boring new intros.

[oneandonly007]

nostalgia at its best

[eriksson890]

the best intro NHL ever have done

[joman33333]

i used to be obsessed with this game as a child, brings back a lot of memories

[sherbert1421]

i miss jim hughson. i am sick of hearing gary thorne in the nhl games now

[masterm1k3]

This was back when NHL games were good!

[Unoong2]

I'am still humming on this song every time I start up an NHL game

[LamarMatic]

Barnaby shoots.... SCORES!!!

[khal0ude]

wayne gretzky retired in 1999...NHL 99 With 99 retired...Time has been TIMED.

[DeathByBlunderbuss]

Hahaha the one and probably only notable goal of Matthew Barnaby's career gets featured here.

[buffalobillsarethebe]

i miss loving the intros... now i just skip to the main menu :/... i dont want to watch EA introducing their new and improved useless computer defense lol

[livin4hockey]

Yeah it's Doug Weight

[WorldChallenge]

Who's Wade?

[lockjawjohn]

@WorldChallenge I believe that is Doug Weight, though I could be mistaken

[livin4hockey]

So once again, I will ask, are there any tandems out there looking for a challenge? My friend and I have been playing this game for years and feel we could beat any duo out there. So who's up to the task?

[marrana123456]

We can be heroes, just for one day...

[Hann96over1896]

14 guys don't get NHL 99 to Christmas or their Birthdays.. !

[sweleader]

What's the name of this commentator? I love him

[jjdog202]

they need something like this for nhl12

[kamilandras]

@jjdog202 its the same style on 12

[johuotar]

I played this game a lot way back, Played the newest game against my friends and won our turnament even if I havent played hockey games in like 9 years or something.

[EvergreenSkyWolf]

'Heroes' by David Bowie :)

[SebBrush]

@EvergreenSkyWolf Heroes is true but its not from Bowie

[EvergreenSkyWolf]

@SebBrush who is it from then?

[SebBrush]

@EvergreenSkyWolf The song also is of bowie. I thought the soundtrack was the cover of "The Wallflowers". I was wrong ^^ sorry :)

/watch?v=1g2VdB4YpzQ <-- The Wallflowers with "Heroes"

[Oskaaaaaar]

@SebBrush It is Bowie.

[Hann96over1896]

Whats the name of the song ?

[Slipknot5301]

98-00 best fuckin' intros...

[Kassuzz97]

i have this game :D maybe....

[Veivari27]

One of the best intros that I never wanted to skip <3

[Galakhor]

@djugarn Either that or you stopped enjoying football/hockey video games. :)

I know I did, right after Fifa World Cup '98 and NHL 99. I did pick up Fifa 2011 the other month, and it's actually VERY fun and adictive.

[waritsch1]

was my first ea nhl game and it is still the best...just because of the intro

[irhames]

I am so old :-(

[alfonsomx84]

THANKS for putting this up every time the hockey season is about to start im gonna play this video to pump me up haha!! GO RED WINGS!

[WeAreOffHanded]

4 years old when i played this.. best intro ever

[sqiddlybob]

@WeAreOffHanded I was 21 - God I wasted my Uni days!!! Great game, great game

[DrHood4]

this was my first video game i ever played. I was 8 at that time. Since then I've played numerous games but none with an intro like this. The heart and passion of hockey is captured in this intro.

[acdcrocker22]

@DrHood4 That is the same for me except i played it when i was like 6

[xBWiZ]

@DrHood4 I couldn't agree more to that! :´)

[JohnKulo]

Best intro, ever!

[ichbinkanadier]

Every time I see one of these old players on the ice I cry. Nostalgia.

[lonislonisloins]

Greatest game ever created. I still kick myself that I lost that disc...

[FuckTheJets99]

you can so tell this is a 90's intro haha

[joelmarte1411]

This made me cry :')

[ZacreXify]

childhood memories.. this intro gives me goosebumbs! fucking best game in the world!

[LTomlinson31]

These intros in the games in the late 90s (as well as 2000) were absolutely epic.

[livin4hockey]

No challengers? Come on there has to be people out there who are looking for a PS 1 challenge. Justinthewombat and myself are the best tandem out there, guaranteed. Who is willing to step up for a face-off?

[jaipaul68]

:39 ozy  ozy ozy ozy ozy ozy

[justinthewombat]

I would like to issue a challenge. No two man team could ever, ever beat myself and my friend in a best of 7, NHL 99 on PS 1.

Challengers?

[rsacc4sale1]

Josephs out of his net, UH OH hes knocked down scrambling infront GREAT SAVE JOSEPH!

[rsacc4sale1]

Uh oh! Josephs out of his net, scramble in front GREAT SAVE JOSEPH!

[maizeandblueheart]

Why can't we have intro's like this anymore?

[TheHockeyDirector]

Great save Joseph! He's mugged!

[TheHockeyDirector]

Best intro ever created all categories. At any kind of event, movie or what ever this first half should always be the intro. Period.

[Killsaw0907]

Best sports intro ever. The one and only sports game I've played :P

[oldgoodrobert]

David Bowie<3

[emiguli]

i played this when i was kid , and i play this still with my PS1 ;)

[MotaTommyMota]

[gobthebuster]

[247randomshit]

[Adamander17]

[justinthewombat]

@Adamander17 You still play? Look to issued challenge.

[TBoneMontana]

Loved that intro it was just the best EA intro

[247randomshit]

@poldaprd Yeah, but why would he do that?

[TheJustinSean]

Who els gets bumps when watching this!?!?

[Hotshot90909]

Josephs out of his net UH OH he's knocked down, scrambling back in Corbet's alone in front GREAT SAVE JOSEPH!

What an intro. They got it right in NHL 99, again in 2000 then they fucked it up.

[Berzeger]

14 people think "thumb down" button means "download this video."

[247randomshit]

@poldaprd what?

[bmurr912]

Holy memories

[Stalkingwolf]

great song, great hockey moments, great intro

[ostdrengen]

Cool, but nhl 98 was way better

[moneyball69]

the good ol ps1 days

[gregair]

Best intro to any sports game ever. I actually might fire this game up tonight and relive the Oilers glory

[gregair]

Best intro to any sports game ever

[Burrows2011]

@gregair No 1998's was better

[Panpl]

This was so bloody awesome I watched it every time I started the game. Today? I'm not sure if NHL11 even had an intro and if it did it probably sucked ass like EA does.

[kalteich]

Nhl 99....the year of the Dallas Stars!

[kwijibo39]

I still have this game, its get frozen once in a while but ima take it real soon to get it cleaned, theres no chance in hell I can live without this game, I luv the NHL 90's games on EA Sports

[FoxGoalie]

I didn't like the game. But the Intro is the best of all time.

[BRBaller1213]

@FoxGoalie What?!?! I loved this game!!

[DeathByBlunderbuss]

GREAT SAVE JOSEPH!

[nodqisme222]

Chills

[gillenha]

I was 14 when I downloaded the demo to this game, and I played it non-stop, then my Dad came home with a copy of the full game which I played even more, then I bought my first pair of skates, then I bought full hockey gear, went to hockey camps, joined a league... and it's all thanks to this f-ing kick-ass intro.

[Boudak01]

Chills running down my back....

[TYL3R35]

another great sports game intro is nhl hitz 2003

[Pat12151215]

Good lord... I was six years old when this came out

[JaimzZetterberg18]

@poldaprd old school games are the best because SIMPLE GAMEPLAY + HARD TIMES = THE BEST THING!!

:D

[hampzuz]

uhoh he is knocked down!

[yoAston]

Best game intro ever : music + video = EPIC

[marecky79]

EPIC !!!

[ehsk8boards]

[christokrates]

GRRRRRREAT SAVE JOSEPH....

[TheMiikee1]

the best nhl game ever

[Splankyyy]

barnaby shooooots SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEEEE­EES

[Hockeydude1411]

Why can't they put this kind of intro in NHL 12?

[jerjanz]

GO STARS!

[Ekis86]

This is the best intro to anything ever.

[Aspartan3]

@Ekis86 agreed

[bladeskater95]

The best intro to any NHL game ever made.

[kalach8240]

Good mamories on this game :) one of the best nhl games ... maybe better than new nhl´s

[hockeyboy246]

Remember watching this for the first time - the first bit finished and I was like, oh, thats alright I guess. Then the second bit- OH MY GOD BEST SHIT EVER!!!!!

[TeamTrucken]

First half: goosebumps.

Second half: eh, generic.

[thedereklee9]

@TeamTrucken cuz you can only handle the pussy shit

[thedereklee9]

@TeamTrucken cuz you can only handle the pussy shit

[TeamTrucken]

@thedereklee9 No, because the first half has soul. It shows of the players skills and how they strive to be the best. This combined with the music make it great. The second half, on the other hand, is filled with fast clips that gives you no time to let it sink in and very generic metal. The first half says "fight to be the best", the second half says "look at this, it looks cool!"

[thedereklee9]

@TeamTrucken in hockey you dont have time to let it sink in, its fast metal to the core

[Squish888]

@TeamTrucken i always skipped the second half :P

[TeamTrucken]

@Squish888 Ha, same here. :D

[rancor191]

who scored that goal at 0:26?! that was unbelievable..

[dafoomie]

@rancor191 Todd Bertuzzi

[jaipaul68]

@rancor191 i thn it was malhotra in a rangers jersey

[MrPrognosisX]

they don't make the intro's like this anymore!

[TheMrNicke]

Goose bumps everytime.
