Coin-Op Gridiron Classic 10-Yard Fight Is Coming To Switch Next Week

Nope!

Oh wow, my brother and I went at it in this game so much!! Caused more fights than I can even count. This and Double Dribble were our go to sports games on the NES. Will buy it strictly for nostalgia!!

@redd214 I’m buying for the nostalgia too. I used to play the NES version all the time!

@redd214
Yeah me too. It is very rudimentary for a football game, especially compared to Tecmo Super Bowl and recent games. But my nostalgia will force me to pick it up for the $8.

Is Europe getting this in Eshop?

Any American football on the switch is a win right now..... the fact this a golden oldie is always a bonus!

Oh man. Ran over by the nostalgia train. Definitely will grab this.

No thanks. This game was awful.

I recently beat the NES version in December, so I'll pass on it.

Oh yes. I love this for its historical relevancy to the NES as part of its early lineup

I have been aching for an American Football retro title on Switch. So odds are I’ll be jumping on this.

Though maaaaaaan it would be great if EA brought it’s back catalog to Switch. Madden ‘94 and NHL ‘94 would be bought in about 3 seconds.

@rdm22 Agreed, some of the EA Sports Megadrive stuff are classic games that lost quite a bit on their way to realistic 3D simulators.

@rdrunner1178 yeah we wanted Tecmk bowl cause that's what our friends had. but I remember it being more than my mom wanted to spend so we bought this at a pawn shop for cheap. We didn't care as kids any new game was the best game ever lol!

Cool some American football action on the Switch!!

Wouldn't normally go for something so ancient but after checking some youtube vids I'm sold.

@NintendoFan4Lyf well put about the kids today! My son included who is knee deep in Fortnite! My crowd was behind me as I kicked butt in Robotron 2084!! Those were the days!! 😊

I haven’t played this, but far as Irem arcade games go, I still would love to see “In The Hunt” on the Switch. Would nicely complement the other 2D shooters on the system.

I have waited SO LONG for 10 Yard Fight to cross my path again. Loved it when I played it for NES... But I had NO idea it was a port for an arcade game AND by Irem too?! Absolutely will get

@Stocksy The game is listed there.

Unbelievable! I remember the NES version very well!

The NES version does not do the arcade game justice. This is my my all time favorite arcade game and the NES port was very disappointing.

Must....get....all.....Nintendo.....arcade.....titles~

Still play my nes version from time to time. I will be picking this up indeed.

I used to play this in the arcades quite a lot, even though I was terrible at it. I’d buy as part of an arcade collection, but not as a stand-alone game

@kitroplious cheers mate. Was gonna check as soon as I had switch to hand. Awesome news!!!

I remember years of having to import NCAA games and MLB games coz they didn’t get UK release - a couple of NASCAR’s games too - luckily more and more games get a international release and I welcome that!

This one should not be dug out of the grave. Techmo Bowl & Madden have made 10 Yard Fight easily forgotten.

@rdm22 When Nintendo's paid online service launches they were talking about adding online multiplayer for games like Super Mario Kart and Dr. Mario. Imagine if EA put the old NHL, Madden, etc. that you mentioned on Switch with online multiplayer and tournaments. I don't see EA doing that but how awesome would that be?

I always thought it it was a Nintendo game, not an Irem game.
Nintendo marketed it pretty heavily back then, maybe even published it back then for the NES.

@Bengals76 Tecmo Bowl is why most people completely forgot about this game. Tecmo Bowl is about as far back as I like to go with football games.

@rdm22
I've thought the same thing. I would love to play some of the retro sports games from EA. Wonder how it works with players and teams that are no longer active? I know EA has the rights to, for example, the NFL and NFLPA.

Very tempted to get this. I have a soft spot for the NES version (and have the cart, of course), plus it'd just be cool to have the arcade version.

Let me guess, 8 bucks for this relic? It would be fun to play for 15 minutes or so as one of 30 other games on a compilation disc that costs 40 bucks I'll give it that

Interesting choice. If you've only played the NES port before, then you haven't really played this. The original arcade game is more like a time attack, where you're constantly racing the clock to try to convert another first down. There's no poorly implemented PvP to be found here.

I love this game, played it at the local arcade and played it on the NES, I will definitely buy this day one.
