The ESRB has confirmed that Tecmo Bowl is coming to the Playstation 3 and XBox 360.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "We only have a few weeks left in our look at whether certain game remakes trumped their predecessors and this sixth part we are turning our attention from Dracula’s castle to the gridiron for a match between Tecmo Bowl and its modern remake Tecmo Bowl: Throwback. Now I’m not the biggest football fan (hockey is more my speed) but I loved playing Tecmo Bowl back in the day on the NES, especially in multiplayer. The game wasn’t really all that much about football but a great competitive, arcade-style experience that could be experienced just as well by sports fans and casual gamers alike. In 2010 the game was remade (using mechanics from its sequel Tecmo Super Bowl) as Tecmo Bowl: Throwback, a more modern take on the classic for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360’s digital stores."
GamesBeat compiled a list of options for forlorn college football fans.
Tecmo Bowl Throwback on Xbox LIVE Arcade has a lot of similarities to Tecmo Super Bowl on NES. Unfortunately, this includes the bad stuff.
I hope there's online support.
awesome!..........if the price is right.
I hope the PS3 version isn't gimped because of the 360.
/s
i hope they can mimic all the teams in the nfl my fear is that due to 360s storage limitation, instead of all the teams and all the stadiums, it will be cut down into half just to appease the 360 owners and then later add the remaining half through dlc.
if it aint tecmo super bowl with real teams and players, no thanks, i'll stick to the original.
