Tecmo Bowl Throwback releases April 28th on XBLA

First NBA Jam, now this?!

Hurray! Now THIS is a sports game that I can get behind. I actually really enjoyed Tecmo Bowl, and this one looks like it stays way faithful to the original gameplay. Online multiplayer has been confirmed! I would love to play against fellow racketeers!

Apparently the PSN version doesn't have a release date yet, but I'm sure it won't be too long before its released.

EA owns all the video game rights to the NFL. So it won't happen. This is also why there are no more NFL 2K games

It probably won't be too much longer before they buy the NBA rights, too

Really, I loved the music. I didn't know Tecmo Bowl's tunes were this good. Then again, I didn't even know this game existed until like a year ago when I read people talking about it on these forums.

If I understood American football, I would even give it a try.

If Bo Jackson isn't on the Raiders, I'll pass.
