It’s important to note that this Tecmo Bowl isn’t the popular home version on the Nintendo Entertainment System, which was a port of this arcade original. In a decade where some football games depicted its athletes as x’s and o’s, Tecmo Bowl was notable for its colorful, detailed graphics, featuring large, animated players. Yesterday, Fortnite relaunched its own NFL partnership, showcasing just how much the gaming landscape has changed since Tecmo Bowl touched down. From Thursday through Super Bowl Sunday, Fortnite’s Team Rumble mode becomes all-out war between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. The game is also bringing back its NFL uniform skins, which features all 32 teams.
