Olympic Hockey Nagano '98 is an exciting ice hockey video game made for the Nintendo 64 console. It came out in 1998. This game is actually a new version of another popular game called Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey. However, it doesn't have Wayne Gretzky's name on it.

The game is officially linked to the 1998 Winter Olympics held in Nagano, Japan. It looks and plays a lot like Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey. The main changes are the game's cover, the names shown in the game, and small updates to things like team logos and colors.
