Revisiting Tecmo Madison: NFL Films Documents Tournament

The world's largest Tecmo Super Bowl tournament takes place Saturday in Madison. Last year NFL Films and Cheesehead TV were there to cover the event.

Exactly one year ago, following the first Saturday in March, I wrote this column for Cheesehead TV after visiting the largest Tecmo Super Bowl tournament in the world.

It's organized by a pair of friends of mine, a relationship that dates back to primary school, and takes place in Madison, Wis. When they told me NFL Films would be there, I thought it was a joke.

It wasn't a joke.

NFL Films examined the nostalgia of Tecmo Super Bowl, the popular Nintendo video game from the 1990s and the precursor to today's Madden games, with a documentary that aired on ESPN and the NFL Network.

On Saturday, Tecmo IX takes place at Badger Bowl in Madison with a record 224 participants.

If you're a fan of Tecmo, I suggest you check out an event that's a spectacle in itself. But even if you can't, enjoy a replay of the NFL Films documentary posted above.
