Published by EA Sports to accompany the 2006 World Cup, the game brought the national teams and the official tournament format to the DS's dual screen, with simplified controls compared to the home console versions and some touch-specific uses for kick-offs and finishing moves. Like any sports license tied to a real event, its shelf life was meant to last as long as the tournament. Today it's a niche piece for retro soccer collectors: it's not the best FIFA entry on DS, but it faithfully captures the soccer buzz of that June 2006.
