Everything you wrote was exactly what I was thinking, especially with the updated graphics and how they might ruin the core gameplay mechanics. Being able to switch retro has all but ended my fears. Now can we please get a game trailer Tecmo.

 Re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Screenshots and Features
 
 Haven't played Lode Runner, but I've got XBLA R-Type and it is an awesome port!It's being made by a totally different developer, Southend Inc. the makers of the highly rated XBL game R-Type Dimensions, not Acronym Games, so no worries there. Here's there website and resume http://www.southend.se/.
 
 In R-Type, you can literally switch between the 2D and 3D graphics at the press of a button. It's a very cool effect -- no need to pause the game or go into the menus!
 
 I hope they keep the original soundtrack intact, too. I believe R-Type had the option to toggle between classic or arranged soundtracks in the menus.Comment

 Re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Screenshots and Features
 
 One thing I'm holding my breath about is :
 
 1. I know we have customized teams/players
 2. I know we have online play
 
 But the real question for me is:
 
 3. Wil we have online play that will allow customized teams/players??Streaming PC & PS5 games, join me most nights after 6:00pm ET on TwitchTV https://www.twitch.tv/shaunh20

 Re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Screenshots and Features
 
 The DS Tecmo Bowl game let you take your custom teams online.
 
 I don't see any reason why this version wouldn't.
 
 The problem it creates, though, is that you get matchups were one custom team has a HUGE advantage over the other team because of higher player ratings.
 
 I hope they keep the player ratings locked in this time and allow you to customize only the team/player names.
 
 'Cause when you let people mess with their team's ratings, you get a lot of lop-sided online matches.Last edited by jyoung; 03-03-2010, 03:34 PM.Comment

 Re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Screenshots and Features
 
 Yeah I had a replica Vanderbilt team I used in the DS Tecmo Bowl, but I would always get creamed when I took them online because most guys would just use Tecmo Joe as their half back and he was unstoppable unless all your defenders had their abilities maxed out.Comment

 It will be interesting to see how people receive this game. My bet, is that the "OMG no colored cleats!!!" threads will emerge in the wee hours of release.
 
 If it gets decent reviews I will probably bite.Comment

 Re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Screenshots and Features
 
 I dunno, I get the feeling this game will be an older, more mature gaming crowd less interested in sock and cleat colors. I'm sure we'll see some of that but for the most part if this title honors the originals we will hear nothing but "when is the next one coming out with updated players/teams???"Streaming PC & PS5 games, join me most nights after 6:00pm ET on TwitchTV https://www.twitch.tv/shaunh20

 Re: Tecmo Bowl Throwback Screenshots and Features
 
 Spoken like a true Tecmo Bowl fan! As a fan myself we know when it comes to Tecmo Bowl it's all about the fun factor and competitive nature of the game. The only time the color of the cleats would make it into the conversation is if the game strays from the formula which made it so revered and an instant classic, otherwise we'll be having to much fun playing to worry about such little things.I dunno, I get the feeling this game will be an older, more mature gaming crowd less interested in sock and cleat colors.
