This site's 14th yearly iteration updates Tecmo's NES classic with up-to-date post-season rosters, graphics, schedules and play books for all 32 NFL squads. Additionally, you can now check the defensive conditions of your players.
Playable on multiple platforms and operating systems via NES emulation software, Tecmo Super Bowl 2022 brings Nintendo's bone-crunching classic to today's computers and handheld devices.
