Madden NFL 98 is an American football simulation game developed by High Score Productions. Notable for its extremely late release window, this title holds the distinction of being the final official game released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America, marking the ultimate swan song for Nintendo's legendary 16-bit console.

The Final SNES Release:
Landing in late 1997—years after the launch of 32-bit and 64-bit hardware like the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Nintendo 64—Madden NFL 98 closed out the official North American SNES library, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
Roster & Playbook Updates:
Despite the aging hardware, the development team updated the game with 1997–98 season team rosters, updated player ratings, and revised team color schemes to reflect the current NFL landscape.
Feature Completeness:
The game packs in all the classic features refined over the 16-bit era, including exhibition matches, playoffs, full-season modes, custom player creation, and detailed team stats tracking.
