Tecmo Bowl

A few minutes of footage from the Wii U Virtual Console release of Tecmo Bowl is now available. Take a look at the video below.

Tecmo Bowl launched on the North American Wii U Virtual Console last week, and now it’s arriving in Europe this Thursday. We have the trailer below.

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.”

In September 2013, Tecmo Bowl previously came to the 3DS Virtual Console. It could soon be Wii U’s turn to have the game as well. The ESRB has rated Tecmo Bowl for Nintendo’s console, which hints at a release in the near future.

Tecmo Bowl has received classification over in Australia. This is almost certainly for a Virtual Console release, but I can’t say for sure whether it’s for the Wii U or 3DS. Although Tecmo Bowl did come out on the North American 3DS eShop back in 2013, I don’t believe it ever reached PAL regions. I guess we’ll see what’s planned at some point in the future!
