Rumor: 'Tecmo Bowl Throwback' Coming to XBLA, PSN (Joystiq)

It's gotta be Tecmo Super Bowl. That was THE classic football game. Tecmo Bowl was great of course... but TSB is the one of legends.

Didn't Tecmo recently remake a basketball game that completely failed as DLC? I don't have the highest of hopes here.

It won't have any real nfl players (new or old) will it ??

If this holds true this could be the most fun I've had in a long time. I just hope it's not the DS version.

That would be awesome. I remember spending many an hour playing Tecmo Bowl on NES then later Tecmo Super Bowl on Genesis. Definitely something I'd download from PSN.

The Wii already has a modified version of Tecmo Bowl. They can't release the real game we want because of the NFL license.

All I can say is, "Uhh, why??"

Plus, the game wasn't even close to challenging...at the hardest level. I hope Tecmo learned from this and does a TRUE remake this time.

Agreed with everything said here.

The DS game was a huge disappointment.
