This is a rare promotional variant of the standard Super Formation Soccer 95: della Serie A retail cartridge. This version was produced in collaboration with the Japanese beverage giant UCC Ueshima Coffee Co. to promote their "Xaqua" energy drink. While the game engine, rosters, and gameplay mechanics are identical to the standard retail release, the cart features unique packaging and promotional branding to align with the Xaqua marketing campaign, which famously featured Italian football legend Roberto Baggio.
GAME ID: SHVC-ADEJ-JPN
SFC95 della Serie A UCC Xaqua was released on March 31, 1995 in Japan.
Promotional Branding: This title is a prime example of the 1990s trend of corporate cross-promotion in video games. The packaging explicitly features the UCC Xaqua branding and imagery of Roberto Baggio. For the collector, this version is distinct from the standard retail release, although the software ROM remains functionally identical to the standard A95J release.
The Baggio Connection: Roberto Baggio was the face of the UCC Xaqua campaign in Japan. His inclusion in the branding was a massive draw for Japanese football fans, as he was arguably the most recognizable international face of Serie A at the time.
Collector Rarity: Because this was often distributed through promotional sweepstakes or specialized retailer bundles rather than standard retail channels, it is significantly harder to find in pristine condition with its original promotional box and inserts compared to the standard retail version.
