Tecmo Super Bowl[a] is an American football video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) that was released in December 1991.

The NES original has had an extensive cult following across the decades,[4] with widely covered tournaments as the game modification community provides annual roster updates.

In the United States, Tecmo Super Bowl topped Babbage's NES sales charts for three months in 1992, from October to December.

New features include these: improved game graphics and sound; official NFL team logos in the end zones; user-controlled touchbacks; the ability to control a player to attempt a punt block; the in-game option to change plays in a team's playbook during games; a running back "dive play" option; a designated return team that includes defensive backs; statistical achievements during games; and three weather conditions (sunny, rain and snow), which can occur randomly in Season mode.

Since the advent of modern console emulation on computers, Tecmo Super Bowl is one of the most modified NES games.

Centering on the annual world championship tournament in Madison, Wisconsin,[29] the episode includes interviews with NFL greats such as Emmitt Smith and Christian Okoye[30] who are featured in the original game, and modern NFL players such as Philip Rivers who discuss their passion for the game.

[32] Tecmo Bowl is a central theme for two 2016 Kia Sorento commercials, starring Bo Jackson and playing off his ridiculously advantageous in-game characteristics.

One features Brian Bosworth, who had been famously run over by Jackson during a Monday Night Football game in 1987 as he attempted to score a touchdown.
