While the gameplay is very similar to Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, there are minor differences. The first difference is that the rink is bigger than the rink in the previous game (since its Olympic size). Some reviewers felt this created a learning curve to players who played previous NHL games. The other difference is that the game lists the names of the players below said players.<ref>{{cite web |title=Olympic Hockey Nagano '98 Review |url=http://n64paradise.tripod.com/reviews/olympic.html |website=N64 Paradise |publisher=N64 Paradise |accessdate=14 August 2018}}</ref> |

Olympic Hockey Nagano '98 is an ice hockey game for the Nintendo 64 that was released in 1998. It is a re-release of Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, but this time not endorsed by Wayne Gretzky and featuring the license for the 1998 Winter Olympics that were celebrated in Nagano, Japan. It is also a video game developer debut of Treyarch[1] Besides the box art, in-game titles, and some minor graphic changes (such as team logos and colors), every single aspect of the game is practically identical to Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey. IGN rated Olympic Hockey Nagano '98 a 0.0, the lowest rated IGN game of all time, due to this fact.[2][3]
Gameplay
Olympic Hockey Nagano 98 features 14 national teams from the 1998 Winter Olympics.[4]
While the gameplay is very similar to Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, there are minor differences.

Some reviewers felt this created a learning curve to players who played previous NHL games. The other difference is that the game lists the names of the players below said players.[5]
Reception
