No More Tecmo Bowl for Wii, Now Coming to XBLA

When I heard there was a new Tecmo Bowl coming to Wii, I thought it was too good to be true. As it turns out, it was.

Tecmo has announced that Tecmo Bowl for Wii was put on indefinite hold and transformed into Family Fun Football. A Tecmo rep confirmed this news while talking to G4. “Given the recent trend on the Wii and its target audience, Tecmo made a business decision to switch the project into a family oriented football game.”

But there is still good news in sight for Tecmo Bowl fans. Currently, there is a version of Tecmo Bowl in the works for XBLA, to be released sometime in early 2010. So, if you have a 360, be ready to throw 83 yard passes with the Kansas City Chiefs sometime next year.
