Tecmo Bowl (Virtual Console on Wii)

Tecmo Bowl on Virtual Console: 7.5/10

So, recently I got a Wii, and Chris and I were wondering what to spend 500 points on, so we were looking through the shop channel, and we found......"TECMO BOWL!" So, we read some reviews, watched some gameplay videos, and decided to spend our five bucks on it. It was a pretty worthwhile purchase. The controls are simple, and so is the gameplay, meaning you don't have to coach an NFL team to play it, but the lack of plays make it feel like it was made for 5 year olds. The graphics are so crappy that the teamates who are supposed to be black are purple, and there is a really annoying flicker effect that almost had me on the floor having an epileptic seizure. However, the game is pretty good, and it is worth your five bucks because the gameplay, although simple, is fun, and multiplayer is a blast, but coach mode is worthless. So, the bottom line is: If you want a good laugh and you're looking for a good NES game on Virtual Console, this game is a good one to get.

Pros:
Fun Gameplay
Simple Gameplay
Good Value
Fun Multiplayer
Hilarious Half-Time Show (Hello pixelated babes!)

Cons:
Crappy sound effects (what do you expect, it's an NES game.)
Crappy graphics that are unrealistic and flickery
Coach mode sucks
Simple Gameplay

Chris: 7.5/10
Muffin Joe: 8/10
