- Tecmo announced Tecmo Classic Arcade for Xbox, which includes a compilation of 6 classic titles: Solomon's Key, Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Basketball, Mighty Bomb Jack, Bomb Jack and Trapt.

Possibly one of the best football games ever. A short list why:

1) LT can do a line of coke on the sideline and run like the cops are after him.
2) Endzone to Endzone passes.
3) Receivers with 30ft verticals
4) Being able to kick a field goal from anywhere and miss it by only a couple feet.
5)Bo Jackson is unstopable

That's good news, I love Tecmo Bowl. My NES copy is getting pretty old.

Super Tecmo Bowl > Tecmo Bowl

Top reason I still have my SNES laying around.

I think it's going to be the arcade version of Tecmo Bowl.

I still have both NES games and play them from time to time with some friends.

I was trying to look up some information on the arcade version when I came across a few pages that stated people have been creating patches for the NES Tecmo Super Bowl to update the rosters every year.

Also, if I remember those 2 might bomb jack games were good. cant wait

Mighty Bomb Jack!!!

Well, Tecmo bowl won't have the NFL rosters or teams, right?

PixyJunket

I don't think the arcade version had the NFL players or teams which is what this is likely to be. If I recall correctly, NES Tecmo Bowl used real player names with made-up team names and NES Tecmo Super Bowl was the first to feature the full NFL license with a couple of player name exclusions (remember QB Browns?)

joshd2012

Ah crap. You're right. I was thinking of Tecmo Superbowl which is truely superior. QB Eagles and all!

This might be the non-Arcade Tecmo Bowl as Tecmo Basketball is also listed and as far as I know, the only version of that was the NES version (Glen Rice hit every 3 pointer he shot)

Hmmm, I'm interested....Tecmo Bowl...YEAH!

fumanstan

I hope its Tecmo Super Bowl. I loved that game.

Tigger

Tecmo Super Bowl NES style.. the best fotball game ever. No one could stop Christian Okoye... or the amazing duo of Jackson and Allen in the backfield for the raiders. Off Guard play to the left.. money!

I just don't know, guys - the Xbox may not have sufficient hardware to render graphics of this caliber...

Are those in-game graphics or pre-rendered cutscenes???

DJ_Longfellow

List price is $50 on EBgames.com right now. If this is true, I'll pass.

Neither-it's their "target video" of what they think they will able to get it to look like.

PixyJunket

Nice.

But can I create-a-fan? Huh? Man, we've come a long way over the years.

While I cut my teeth on the Joe Montana football games (I think it was Sports Talk that was my fav) Tecmo Bowl is easily my second favorite football franchise. They really should make a gameboy version.
