The real pull of Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff on the DS isn’t the game itself. It’s the nostalgia for the old days that comes flooding in when you play it. We’re talking about those 8-bit salad days when blowing the dust out of those old carts and loading them into your NES in just the right way was a sacred ritual.
It’s all because Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff is all about keeping things old school and that’s a good thing.
