Top Hat Studios has revealed that Legend Bowl, a retro-inspired American football game, will be released on the Nintendo Switch in the upcoming summer season.

The game features various modes, with Franchise Mode being the main attraction. In this mode, players assume the role of a coach and are responsible for building a team to compete for the championship. Alongside the on-field gameplay, the mode offers options for managing stadium facilities, player contracts, off-season activities, and more.

Additionally, there is an Exhibition Mode that allows up to four players to engage in standard drop-in play.

Legend Bowl boasts classic pixel art visuals, allowing for extensive customization. Players and coaches can be designed and tweaked to match desired preferences, whether that involves an accurate representation of NFL lineups or more outlandish features such as wacky hairstyles and neon gloves. These customizations can then be experienced in the arcade-style matches.
