Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff
 

Tecmo Bowl is coming back! The only thing that stinks is because of the deal between the NFL and EA, this game won't have the real teams or players. Boo NFL.

It will look like that according to the link...here is a quote:

I did notice a lack of date of release. Is there any info on this? I still want it.

Re: Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff
 

Tecmo would be very wise to kick it totally old school with this game. The appeal of Tecmo was always it's simplicity. It was just a fun ass game that anyone could pick up and play. From what I've read so far it sounds like that will indeed be their approach with this one. If that's the case they could have a nice hit on their hands. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

I did a few searches on this last night and saw that it will be available in the fall.

As do I (FCE Ultra or Nesticle), and I get the updated copies from [url=http://www.knobbe.org/]www.knobbe.org[/url]. They've developed Tecmo Super Bowl with 32 teams...it's great throwing long TDs from Campbell to Moss and Randle El.

Oh my god I can't believe this news. I'm guessing this will outsell Madden DS signficantly. While the lack of an NFL license surely hurts this game (after all, the original Tecmo Superbowl was, I believe, the first game to have full season stats) it still will be incredible to hop on the WIFI and make my family proud.

Another reason I can't wait for fall.

If they do it right I can definitely see it being a big hit.

Not having the official teams and players won't matter much if the gameplay is tight.

I get picked off a LOT for some reason, so I mainly run the ball.

Reverses with Randel El are fun though. :)

Hands down the best football ever made!

That's the only thing that's going to hurt the game is if they don't have official teams and players
