Bless EA. That company slaves away to put out Madden yearly, and spends many millions in the process. But despite loving American Football, I just… struggle to care. I keep falling for retro revivals instead.
One such revival that’s held my attention for quite some time is Retro Bowl, which up until now has been a mobile-exclusive, 8-bit inspired NFL experience that is functionally quite similar to the likes of NES classic Tecmo Bowl.
I wrote about Retro Bowl back in 2020, describing it as carrying “the spirit of Blitz” – that is, NFL Blitz, one of the greatest sports games ever made. Retro Bowl’s 8-bit aesthetic means that it’s more simple than Blitz, yes – but the heart is there, the energy. And now, Retro Bowl is newly out on Switch.
