This should be fun, and the DS is a perfect place for it. Arcade style sports games are perfect for a handheld. If this were a 360 game, I'd pass, but on the DS I'll pick it up.

If this was in the 360 Live Arcade I'd pick it up in a heartbeat, especially if you could make/trade your own player rosters with people. I've got one of their Tecmo Bowl games for Genesis. so hopefully Tecmo hasn't signed an exclusive agreement with Nintendo this time around either.

Anyone else pick this one up? I got it yesterday, and the fact that I am trying to sell it in the Marketplace forum today should give you an idea of what I think about it.
