All N64 Games #131: NFL Blitz
Posted 12 Aug 2024 at 14:57 by Dean Jones
Another American Football game, but this is a much more arcade style instead of the very slow tactical game of the previous games. While this was also out in arcades, it wasn’t quite as arcadey as something like NBA Hangtime, but instead feels more on the level of FIFA.
It’s much faster paced than other American Football games, and also felt easier to understand. There’s very little waiting around, although you still select tactics. I still don’t quite fully understand American Football, but I had fun with this.
Fun
This is by far the most accessible version of American football ever made. It might not please the purists, but it’s brash, boisterous, and spanking good fun.
