Tecmo Announces Tecmo Bowl Throwback

Today Tecmo confirmed the development of Tecmo Bowl Throwback. Anyone that had a SNES probably pee'd in their pants a little after hearing the news. Infinite snap counts and over 100 sacks per season are almost as enjoyable as hot apple pie.

Online multiplayer will be offered on Playstation Network and XBOX Live Arcade. Tecmo Bowl Throwback will include a Pro Bowl mode, customizable rosters, and online leader boards. For those of us that want a trip in the way-back machine, there will be an option to play in old school 2D graphics. Of course, updated, new age graphics will be the other option.

One major drawback will be the lack of NFL teams in the game. EA Sports still retains exclusive rights to use NFL teams and players in their Madden series. Even with that, Tecmo may have a winning formula with gamers from the 1990's.
