Tecmo bowl is making a return, and coming to the DS

I can't think of a more perfect sports game for the DS

Will EA Sports have a hand in this, or will it be another fictional league like recent versions of Blitz? It seems the only gridiron football league that hasn't sold out to EA is the Canadian Football League.

Awesome news! Do you have a link to share? Where did you hear this from?

Tecmo Bowl was the standard for football games from the late 80's through mid 90's. It's return offers much potential.

CFL would be awesome ;)


that being said, the only tidbit I've heard is that it will be fictional names (no nfl license)

sounds like you'll be able to create/edit teams, jerseys, cities, etc etc
