Tecmo Bowl Throwback

[Kalyx triaD]

Essentially an HD Remix of the SNES version, you can also choose to play with the old-school 2D visuals. With no NFL license, the game will have customizable teams. The updated visuals will be 3D (not hi rez sprites), but the camera angle will remain. Being that Tecmo made a reputation for itself in the last decade, there will be hottie cheerleaders.

Of course there's online play for XBLA and PSN, as well as tournaments. Don't know about league play, though.

YESSSSSSSSSsssss

[RoXer]

By customizable teams do they mean the whole shebangabang? Rosters, colors, logos, playbook, everything?

More importantly, there better be a file upload system so some nerd can doo allt hat for me.

[RoXer]

I honestly play Tecmo Super Bowl on the snesrom app on my Droid phone like once a day.

Now all XBLA needs is an old school baseball game because 2K is such trash. I would love Ken Griffey Jr. But I would settle for a Super Batter-Up.

[RoXer]

I will never turn on the 3d graphics either, I already know that.

I am more pumped for this than Madden.

They didn't specify, but a file upload would be ideal. Let some sports nut do all 32 teams of that American league whatsitcalled.

[RoXer]

Oh yeah, those sports nerds definitly exsist. I would guess it take about 5 hours after launch to get a good roster.

Hell back in the day, I would have been one of those nerds.

[RoXer]

The Dallas playbook is exactly the same. Awesome.


I am defintly running a TPWW league/tournament or whatever.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Oh fuck yes.

I would play in a league/tourney with you guys, but I feel like I'm one of about five people with a PS3.

Is this gonna be on PSN or are they selling it for the full 60 bucks?

[Funky Fly]

First post said some shit about PSN. No way they could honestly sell a SNES game with rez'd up graphics for 60 bucks, tho.

[Kalyx triaD]

XBLA and PSN for maybe 10 or 15$.

[Kalyx triaD]

Drops this week.

[RoXer]

No way

[Big Fat Mike]

Oh fuck yes.

I will play you on PSN

[D Mac]

Gonna get it.

[RoXer]

Destroyed DMac and the two ranked games I played.

I will not be stopped.

[D Mac]

Yeah that was bullshit. Stupid lag threw me off. :mad:

[Kane Knight]

Question: Never played Tecmo Bowl. is the demo gonna give me enough of a clue as to whether or not I'll enjoy it?

[RoXer]

Ummmm I think it will give you enough to get the jist of it. Remeber there's no real teams though so if yooure just buying this for a casual experience, it might get a little boring. Also, people have been playing this for 20 years so expect to get trounced if you go online. But you might as well give the demo a shot.

I guess the lag is real bad if you aren't the host. I've been host every time so I'll try joining matches and seee how bad it is.

[alvarado52]

so whats the word Roxer, did you seeeeeee how bad it was?

[RoXer]

Nah I just keep hosting and rockin niggas.

Ranked 111 right now.

[RoXer]

I wish it would keep your w-l record :(

[Kalyx triaD]

This game is 100% more balanced than any Madden.

[RoXer]

I would be like 13-0 if 10 haven't quit on me withen the 1st quarter because I take the quick lead.

[RoXer]

This game is 100% more balanced than any Madden.

Its about the same. Maybe a little more simplified.

[Kalyx triaD]

95%

[RoXer]

Not really

[Anybody Thrilla]

THIS IS OUT NOW?????

brb

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK, I found a trailer and wallpaper for it, but no game. WHERE'S THE GAME?

[Kalyx triaD]

Have someone invite you to dl it.

[RoXer]

Just played a game where DMac was host and he's right, the lag is atrocious. Now I know why I was shutting down fools 35-0.

Still beat him, 17-14

[RoXer]

Dmac, why do you have the setting on 3d? Its horrible. Switch it to 2d

[D Mac]

Dallas is the only team Roxer knows. One trick pony.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Have someone invite you to dl it.

Have you accepted my friend request yet? If so, how about you do it, ol' buddy ol' pal?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Or how about you, Diesel Mac? Don't you want me to play against you in this game???? Roxer, are we friends? SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

[Fignuts]

This got like a 4/10 in oxm. Dunno.

[RoXer]

It would be 10/10 if there was no lag online and it kept your w/l record.

ABT, I don't know what to tell you. It's out. Go find it.

[FearedSanctity]

It's on the Marketplace website, could just sign in through there to download it and have it start automatically on your 360

[RoXer]

He has PS3

[FearedSanctity]

lol

[Anybody Thrilla]

It's weird. When I searched for it, I found a trailer and a wallpaper, but no actual game. WHY?????

[FearedSanctity]

Game isn't on the PSN site either, weird

[FearedSanctity]

Wikipedia and IGN have the PSN release date as TBA

Edit: Also, http://twitter.com/TecmoGames/status/12529540463

[Anybody Thrilla]

OK. Now I don't feel as bad. I didn't realize everybody was playing on X-Box.

[FearedSanctity]

Yeah, I bought my PS3 out of blind Sony dedication a few years ago. Didn't take but a couple months to realize 360 was "where it's at"

[Fignuts]

360 has more games, and better online service, but I still love my PS3.

[FearedSanctity]

Agreed, still love the thing even though no one I know has one. Or really uses it, rather. Free service is a major plus, but it's also a lot easier for me to stream videos to my PS3 than my 360, which is kinda stupid.

But back on subject, want this but my job search ain't going to well. Will be playing the hell out of the demo shortly :'(

[Kalyx triaD]

Or how about you, Diesel Mac? Don't you want me to play against you in this game???? Roxer, are we friends? SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

Did you send one? I don't recall...

And I often deny requests if they don't explain who they actually are.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Did you send one? I don't recall...

And I often deny requests if they don't explain who they actually are.

I sent it a couple days ago along with a message saying that it was me.

[Kalyx triaD]

No record of that, sorry.

[Anybody Thrilla]

You know I'm talking about PS3, right?

[Kalyx triaD]

Oh. I haven't logged into my PS3 account in a long time. They won't let me.

[Anybody Thrilla]

What....the fuck?

[Kalyx triaD]

I can't recover it. I tried.
