| + | '''''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 ''Tecmo Super Bowl'' gained a cult following that continued long after it became outdated, and to this day a modified fan-made ROM is released every year at the start of the season, with rosters updated to be accurate to the current state of the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. | ||
