Tecmo Super Bowl on SNES is basically the NES classic but beefed up for the 16-bit era—smoother animations, better graphics, and that sweet, sweet SNES sound chip making the crowd noise actually sound like a crowd. You still get the same arcade-style football action, just with less pixelated players and slightly more realistic plays.

First thing you’ll notice? The playbook feels deeper, and running the ball doesn’t always mean just spamming Bo Jackson until the defense gives up. Well, you can still do that, but now there’s a bit more strategy in picking formations. Also, the turbo button actually matters here—timing it right can mean breaking a tackle or getting stuffed at the line.

It’s not Madden, but for a quick, no-frills football fix with that classic Tecmo energy, this one holds up. Just don’t expect a franchise mode or anything fancy.
