Tecmo's New Nintendo Games @ E3 2008: Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff
Jul. 24
The Lowdown: Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff resurrects the long-dormant Tecmo Bowl franchise in a big way for the Nintendo DS. This game is all about fast-paced arcade-style gameplay with no official team licenses, flashy cutscenes and deep customization options. Customize your team and battle friends over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, or play using one of the 32 Tecmo teams scattered nationwide. Use your players' Super Moves to devastate the competition, and control everything with the DS stylus. You can even customize your own playbook!
The Hype: The NES Tecmo Bowl was one of the best games of its day, and an object of serious nostalgia even to gamers who usually won't touch a sports title. If Kickoff manages to be even half as fun as its predecessor, it's going to be one of the best DS sports titles.
The Snark: Wait, a game about playing football instead of ogling the official licenses that are probably out of date by the time the game ships? Hah, nobody'll buy it.
Anyway, screens that feature very little gameplay behind the cut. But dig those menus!

Will it have Video Bo? :D
So, is this in addition to the Wii title that they announced a while back, or does this replace it?
I've heard nothing about a Wii title (save a Virtual Console release), so I guess this replaces it?
