Through a listing on Nintendo’s website, it’s now confirmed that Tecmo Bowl will be joining the Virtual Console tomorrow. It will be available on the Wii U eShop for $4.99.

Here’s an official overview of Tecmo Bowl:

“Match your gridiron skills against the computer or another human player. From the snap, total control of every pass, run, and tackle is in your hands! The player can select from 12 teams. On offense there are two run and two pass plays to choose from. Defense consists of trying to guess which offensive play the opponent will select and then taking control of one of the defensive players before the snap. A simple power-meter system is used for kicking field goals, extra points, and punts.”
