Tecmo Bowl for ?

Did Rygar return from the dead to steal back his 20-year old thunder from the God of War?

PixyJunket

Actually, there was a new Rygar game for the PS2 before God of War came out.

DVD Josh

I remember staying up all night and beating Rygar. I was just in the zone. Never came close again. Great game.

Michael Corvin

Another classic. Wonder when Rygar will hit the VC.

Rygar!!!!!!!!

Wasn't there a Rygar Lynx game?

PixyJunket

Tecmo is supporting VC. It'll be there eventually.

Yeah, but it was more like the arcade version, not the NES version.

DodgingCars

Yeah.. actually I own it.

Rygar: The Legendary Adventure.

It's a pretty good game. Maybe I'll play it again to see if it makes me excited for a new Wii version.

DJ_Longfellow

Just curious, can Tecmo use the NFL license? I know the players are retired now, just curious how that works.

PixyJunket

No. I'm assuming that they'll be shooting to make an arcade-like football game since I believe we've been lacking in that category for a while (even Blitz has become too sim-like recently). If they can pull it off gameplay wise, I'm in, NFL or not. I'd rather have a fun football game with made-up teams than a crumbly sim with the real players personally.

jdpatri

Hmm. Missed that one. I prefer to think that a little 8-bit, 2-dimensional Rygar crawled out of my old NES (wherever it is) to kick some ass.

Josh H

I didn't care much for the PS2 Rygar game, hopefully the Wii one will be much better.

chanster

Man, I loved the original Rygar game for NES. It was pretty much like crack, once you started playing it, you couldn't stop (I'm not sure there saves allowed - were there?)

PixyJunket

There weren't! The little save state feature of the VC will be nice in that regard when it's released.

shumway

There were no saves, and if you wanted to power up, you had to spend a tremendous amount of time killing re-spawning enemies. That game took me forever to beat the first time, but, after that time, I could play through any day and beat it, it still took several hours from what I recall.

chanster

Yeah I remember sitting around for a long time and killing those things that came out the sand all the time...good times....

PixyJunket

Ninja Gaiden DS looks REALLY good:

That's another one I want on the VC. The original NG. Still one of the few games that I gave up on because of the final boss.

Nazgul

I've got it on my NES still and it's just as hard as ever.

Josh H

Looks nice technically, but I'd prefer a 2D game to this 3Dish game with touch screen controls.

Goldberg74

Rygar and Captain America are the same person.

PixyJunket

I think I have all three, I might be missing the second one. Good stuff.

7Keys

Yeah it does and I'm looking forward to it.

Although I have no idea what this has to do with Tecmo Bowl, Rygar, or the Wii.

Michael Corvin

tecmo does NG as well.
