New Tecmo Bowl Screens

DS News from N4G | Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff

DS - Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff - New Tecmo Bowl Screens

Oh how I miss the days of sweet smelling 8 -bit football in the morning. I miss Bo Jackson hitting the sideline, Iron Head Heyward running through 6 men at a time , the days of Warren Moon's 100 yard passes to Drew Hill or Haywood Jefferies, and this great Quarterback by the name of "Eagles". I may have never seen him play a true NFL game but in the Ole Days of Tecmo bowl On Nintendo he quite possibly was the man people would look for on each and every Sunday Morning when the ABC's, CBS's, and NBC's would grace our lives with Beautiful NFL Bliss. Will we ever see those days again, mmmhhhhh, Oh Yes my friend we most definitely will. That is ofcoarse without the NFL endorsement but worry not good scholar Tecmo Bowl is back and better than ever on the Nintendo DS.

Tecmo: No Bo Jackson, No NFL For New 'Tecmo Bowl' - But Still Faithfully Old-School

DS - Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff - Tecmo: No Bo Jackson, No NFL For New 'Tecmo Bowl' - But Still Faithfully Old-School

MTV Multiplayer writes: "Yesterday's announcement of the return of "Tecmo Super Bowl" in the form of "Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff" for the DS was a long time coming. And it sparked several questions that a Tecmo spokesperson answered for me overnight.

First of all, I'm told that this game isn't a new 3D re-invention. It's a classic 2D game.

I've also learned that the game won't include any NFL teams or players, due to EA having the licenses locked up. It won't include retired players either, and that includes "Tecmo Super Bowl" icon Bo Jackson.

The teams in the new DS game will be aligned with the cities from the original "Tecmo Bowl," with a few added to bring the team count to 32. "Although the team names are not NFL, we picked names that fit with the original spirit of 'Tecmo Bowl,'" the company rep told me. Customization features will let players change the team names."
