<p>If you’re fond of retro sports titles, you’ll be pleased to hear Hamster will soon release the 1987 arcade game, <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/vcarcade/tecmo_bowl">Tecmo Bowl</a></strong>, on the Nintendo Switch in the next few weeks. This new entry in the Arcade Archives line, as the name suggests, was originally developed by the Japanese company Tecmo.</p>
<p>Nintendo fans are likely to be more familiar with the NES iteration of <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nes/tecmo_bowl">Tecmo Bowl</a></strong>, which has previously been released on multiple digital platforms including the Wii Shop, 3DS eShop and Wii U eShop. The original cabinet version was last added to the Virtual Console Arcade line on the Wii in 2009.</p>
<p>It’s a nice change of pace to have a <em>slightly</em> rarer retro release on its way to the Switch eShop. Apart from a number of gameplay differences to the NES version, one other bonus of the arcade release is improved visuals – with a larger colour palette and more detailed sprite work. For more information about this game, take a look at <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/08/tecmo_bowl_virtual_console">our review</a>.</p>
