Tecmo Bowl Throwback was first revealed through a trusted Joystiq source
back in January (and then subsequently popped up in
an ESRB rating), so we weren't exactly thrown into a tizzy when Tecmo released
the official announcement today.
Throwback will be released on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network this spring. As previously understood, the game will be a remake of the SNES's
Tecmo Super Bowl and will feature an option to "switch to the classic 2D style."
Developed by seasoned remake studio Southend Interactive (
Lode Runner,
R-Type), the game's main new feature (aside from "all new 3D graphics," of course) is online play. Today's announcement additionally revealed
Throwback will feature 32 teams and online leaderboards and customizable options for teams
and rosters, and ... and ... whoa, whoa, it's almost like we're talking about a
simulation football game here! Relax -- sorry about that. Try to cool down with the screenshots below.
