'''''Tecmo Super Bowl''''' is a [[1991]] sports game developed and published by Tecmo for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]. Based on the National Football League, it is a sequel to the [[1989]] NES port of the [[1987]] arcade game ''[[Tecmo Bowl]]'', and is notable for being the first NES game to use the names and stats of real NFL teams and players, due to a licensing agreement with the NFL. ''Tecmo Super Bowl'' gained a cult following that continued long after it became outdated, and to this day a modified fan-made ROM is released every year at the start of the season, with rosters updated to be accurate to the current state of the NFL. The 2011-2012 edition of ''Tecmo Super Bowl'' was played by [[The D-Pad]] in [[2012]], in a feature known as ''Let's Predict Super Bowl XLVI''. The series simulated the upcoming Super Bowl XLVI by staging an AI vs. AI match with the competing teams and players, in an attempt to predict the result of the game. The series consisted of 2 episodes; the first half was released on January 29, 2012, and the second half on February 5, 2012.

Based on the National Football League, it is a sequel to the [[1989]] NES port of the [[1987]] [[arcade]] game ''[[Tecmo Bowl]]'', and is notable for being the first video game to use the names and stats of real NFL teams and players, due to a licensing agreement with the NFL. ''Tecmo Super Bowl'' gained a cult following that continued long after it became outdated, and to this day a modified fan-made ROM is released every year at the start of the season, with rosters updated to be accurate to the current state of the NFL. These ROMs have been played on ''[[The D-Pad]]'' since [[2012]], in an annual feature on the channel called '''''Let's Predict the Super Bowl'''''. The series, usually released the day of the Super Bowl, simulates the upcoming game by staging an AI vs. AI match with the competing teams and players, in an attempt to predict the final outcome. The series began on January 30, 2012 with ''Let's Predict Super Bowl XLVI'', and the most recent installment, ''Let's Predict Super Bowl LV'', was released on February 7, 2021.

In [[2016]], no episode of ''Let's Predict the Super Bowl'' was released in time for the Super Bowl.

The episode was released on April 4, 2016.
 
 
 
In [[2017]], the channel released the sixth installment in the series, ''Let's Predict Super Bowl LI'', using the 2016-2017 edition of the game. The episode was released on February 5, 2017.

Tecmo Super Bowl is a 1991 sports game developed and published by Tecmo for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Based on the National Football League, it is a sequel to the 1989 NES port of the 1987 arcade game Tecmo Bowl, and is notable for being the first video game to use the names and stats of real NFL teams and players, due to a licensing agreement with the NFL. Tecmo Super Bowl gained a cult following that continued long after it became outdated, and to this day a modified fan-made ROM is released every year at the start of the season, with rosters updated to be accurate to the current state of the NFL. These ROMs have been played on The D-Pad since 2012, in an annual feature on the channel called Let's Predict the Super Bowl. The series, usually released the day of the Super Bowl, simulates the upcoming game by staging an AI vs. AI match with the competing teams and players, in an attempt to predict the final outcome. The series began on January 30, 2012 with Let's Predict Super Bowl XLVI, and the most recent installment, Let's Predict Super Bowl LV, was released on February 7, 2021.

Trivia

  • The first episode of Let's Predict the Super Bowl was released over two months before the debut of Pokémon FireRed Version: Hard Mode, the first installment of Pokémon Rivals. This makes it the longest-running series on the channel, and the oldest series to still be releasing new episodes.
  • Let's Predict Super Bowl XLVI and XLVII, the first two installments in the series, were both released in two parts, one for each half of the game. All subsequent installments have been released as a single episode.
  • Let's Predict Super Bowl 50 was not recorded in time for the actual game in February 2016, and was eventually released in April as part of the channel's fifth anniversary celebrations, attempting to "predict" the outcome of a game that had already been played.
  • Super Bowl XLVIII marks the first time Tecmo Super Bowl has correctly predicted the outcome of the game.
  • Super Bowl 50 marks the first and only time Tecmo Super Bowl has correctly predicted an individual team's final score.
  • The New England Patriots have been both correctly and incorrectly predicted as both the winning and losing team between Super Bowl XLVI and LIII.
  • Super Bowl LIII marks the first time Tecmo Super Bowl has correctly predicted the outcome of the game in back-to-back games.
    • It was also the first time Tecmo Super Bowl has accurately predicted a Super Bowl victory by a team in the American Football Conference.
  • Super Bowl LIV marks the first time Tecmo Super Bowl has correctly predicted the outcome of the game three times in a row.
    • It was also the first time Tecmo Super Bowl has accurately predicted a Super Bowl victory by the designated home team.
    • It was also the first time Tecmo Super Bowl has accurately predicted the margin of victory for the winning team. This comes after three consecutive years of being a single point off from the actual margin of victory.
