Tecmo Bowl Throwback Out Next Week

A release date for Tecmo Bowl Throwback has finally been set with the game arriving on XBLA on Wednesday April 28th. It will sell for 800 MS points on the 360 and the equivalent $10 on the PS3. (Update) There is now some question whether the PS3 will get it next week also. Should more info become available I will add that to the story.

Tecmo Bowl Throwback is a remake of Tecmo Super Bowl and contains the same rosters from 1993. The team and player names will be changed, due to the lack of NFL license, but the rosters will be identical in terms of player makeup. If you are interested in looking them over they can be found here. The game features the ability to play in updated “3D” or the retro “2D” modes and includes online multiplayer.
