According to a new report from Variety, Tongal is developing a film adaptation of the 1987 Nintendo Entertainment System game from Koei Tecmo, Tecmo Bowl. At the time of writing, Tongal has not yet revealed details about the film’s production team.
Tongal is a “creative-driven studio” that has worked with Netflix, The Pokémon Company, NBCUniversal, and more. Its most recent film was a biography about musician Pharrell Williams with an art style centered around LEGO, titled Piece by Piece. According to the studio, the film will “be developed with Tongal’s creator community, who will contribute and execute original ideas to reimagine the legendary football game’s IP for a new era. By blending the game’s distinct original animation sequences with live production, the film will capture Tecmo Bowl’s nostalgic charm with a fresh, modern approach fueled by creators around the world.”
Additionally, Tongal CEO and co-founder, James DeJulio, said the following about the upcoming film: “I grew up playing Tecmo Bowl with my friends, as did so many kids of the 90s, and I know this is going to resonate with the fans and their families. We’re bringing together our creator community and cutting-edge creator platform to reinvent how features are developed and produced. Just as we did with Piece by Piece, this is an opportunity to innovate and build a new model for storytelling — one where beloved IP is supercharged by the talent and ideas of independent creators around the world.”
Tecmo Bowl is a game where you, quite simply, play American Football. It features some of the most beloved athletes from the era, such as Bo Jackson, Joe Montana and Lawrence Taylor. Lastly, those hoping to play Tecmo Bowl for themselves can play it on the Nintendo Switch Online service.

Princess Heuria
Voiced by: Manaka Iwami / Sura Siu

The royal scholar, foremost in the kingdom in magic research. He was once an
adventurer, but lacking the talent for it, gave up early on. Though still young, he has earned the king’s trust, and is thus able to recommend his old friend Elliot for the task of exploring some newly discovered ruins.
Elliot’s Actions
As Elliot, the player will freely adventure over the expansive continent of Philabieldia. Various weapons found along the way may be used interchangeably to do battle with beastmen and explore caves and ruins.
Two weapons may be equipped at once. Watch the enemy’s movements to determine when to strike.Most weapons have a special attack that may be unleashed by holding the attack button to charge up.
Swords
Swords may be swung quickly to attack in a wide range, making them easy to use.Charge up their special attack to send slashes flying!
Shields
Be aware that shields can only defend against frontal attacks, and not those to the back or sides.Learn to raise your guard at just the right time for an edge in battle.
Bows
A bow’s regular attack fires one arrow per shot, but its special attack fires multiple arrows out in a fan at the cost of a single arrow.
Boomerangs
A boomerang is dangerous during its entire flight, so a skillful throw can knock enemies on both the departure and the return.
Bombs
Bombs explode a short time after they’re set, and their explosions pack a punch.They can also be used to demolish certain rocks and cracked walls.
Spears
Spears are good for doling out repeated attacks directly ahead and out of the enemy’s melee range.Their special attack is a forward charge.
Hammers
Hammers are slow to swing but hard hitting, and their special attack changes to a downward blow.They can also be used to pound pegs into the ground.
Chains and Sickles
Chains and sickles are multifaceted weapons that allow for attacking at range or in the surrounding circumference.Their special attack can pull enemies in close.
Exploration
Exploit all of Elliot’s various actions in every corner of the map to discover new areas and sites to explore.
After learning a new action, come back to places you’ve been before to potentially make a new discovery.Use dynamic attacks to cross scattered terrain.Dive under logs blocking your way.
Faie’s Actions
Elliot’s fairy sidekick Faie is there to support him on his adventure. She can use her special magic abilities to find a way through the tricks and traps lying in wait for Elliot, and will even join the adventurer in battle. Faie’s cooperation is key to productive adventuring.
Faie will pick up nearby items and help pick on enemies.The player can control Faie directly with the R stick, or a second player can control her in local co-op.
Faie will learn new magic abilities during her journey. Some obstacles blocking Elliot’s progress can only be overcome with fairy magic, so actively put any new magic she learns to the test.
Sprint
The magic “sprint” puts high speed into Elliot’s step. Use it to solve puzzles, or just get where you’re going that much more quickly.
Warp
The magic “warp” transports Elliot to wherever Faie is in an instant.It has multiple uses, such as dodging attacks and obstacles or getting into a favorable position behind the enemy.
Resurrection
Should Elliot lose all his vitality and fall in battle, Faie can bring him back to life. You can
continue the adventure from exactly where it was interrupted.
Resurrection by Faie comes at a price: tul, the currency of Philabieldia. Consider your finances and surroundings before deciding to jump back into action.
Magicite
Bring magicite fragments you find to the magicite shop to have them formed into whole pieces of magicite with special effects. Various pieces of magicite can be equipped as a set that confers their combined effects to Elliot’s weapons. Find the combinations that suit your playstyle and give you the advantage in battle. Magicite fragments can be found as random loot dropped by defeated enemies and in treasure chests among other places.
Magicite is formed at a shop in town from magicite fragments. You won’t know what magicite you’ll get until it’s formed, but you can select type you hope to get according to weapon.The more magicite you form, the higher your rank will go, giving you a better chance at forming rarer types of magicite.
Each piece of magicite has a fixed cost to equip, and you can equip as much as will fit within the total cost available. Try adjusting your magicite sets to find combinations that generally complement one another or are optimized for specific areas or battles.
Keep your total equippable cost in mind when selecting magicite. The magicite shopkeeper is able to raise your cost limit for a not-so-modest fee.
Sword Magicite
Effects for customizing your sword and shield. Fortify your defenses, or conversely weaken them for the ability to execute devastating counterattacks.
Combine magicite that offers omnidirectional defense following sword attacks with magicite that powers up attacks after guarding for the ideal marriage of offense and defense.Intentionally use your shield past its breaking point to take advantage of magicite that adds flying slashes to your attacks while you’re unable to defend. Sets can be designed to test a player’s capacity for navigating risk and reward.
Spear Magicite
Extend your polearm’s reach even further than the enemy’s range, or unlock another weapon’s potential by virtue of combining it with a spear.
A number of magicite types will enhance weapons used in the few seconds after swinging a spear. See how different weapon affinities stack up.Combine magicite that extends the movement range of special attacks with magicite that imparts invulnerability during a special attack to break right through enemy lines. Add in magicite that shortens special attack charge time to break your way right back out.
Debut Demo Feedback
Based on the feedback from the post play survey of the debut demo released on Nintendo Switch, we will be making the following adjustments.
