Brett Hull Hockey 95 appeared in 1994 as a competitor to NHL 96. As the name suggests, the game was based on the license of hockey player Brett Hull. It is the first hockey video game to use motion capture in development. Game commentary was provided by Al Michaels. Despite the use of new technology, the players' movement on the ice felt unnatural and their artificial intelligence faltered.

Game review

Brett Hull Hockey 95 appeared in 1994 as a competitor to NHL 96. As the name suggests, the game was based on the license of hockey player Brett Hull. It is the first hockey video game to use motion capture in development. Game commentary was provided by Al Michaels. Despite the use of new technology, the players' movement on the ice felt unnatural and their artificial intelligence faltered. According to contemporary critics, the gameplay was generally worse than that of the competition from the Electronic Arts workshop.

More than 600 authentic hockey players are used for this simulation game. Athletes are rated in skills related to skating, offense, defense, and goaltending skills. The "coach mode" allows players to customize the team in order to meet their gaming needs. There is an NHLPA license in the game but no NHL license; so that teams are only mentioned by city name. The Super NES version only has a password save method instead of a battery backup method due to memory limitations.

Reviewing the Super NES version, GamePro praised the coaching feature and assessed that Brett Hull Hockey '95, while not as good a game as NHL Hockey '95, has an action-driven style of gameplay which might be more appealing to beginning players and action fans. Next Generation reviewed the SNES version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "Sure, it's hockey, but Brett Hull Hockey '95 still stands squarely in the minors."
