Tecmo Super Bowl (NES) Secret Revealed

- There was a trick reported in GamePro for the original Tecmo Super Bowl decades and I've always wanted to see if it was true. Tonight I had the patience to find out.
*UPDATE* Okay, after receiving some comments and requests, I did some digging and figured out what happened. The trick, as reported in GamePro April 1993, states that if you tie ANY division, wait until the end of the season and see their Division Champion, if you reset right there, the game will resort the playoffs to put all Buffalo Bills in every slot. I tried it again tonight (1/6/17) with only three divisions tied and the trick worked exactly as the tip said it would. What triggered mine was I was recording the result and my cell phone stopped recording in the middle of it, so I panicked, reset and that actually made the trick work. Surprise, my being kind of a dink worked in my favor for once!
So there it is. It's not this arduous task that takes hours of tweaking to get exactly right like my brain thought it was. Anyone with 10 minutes to simulate a season can make it happen. Thank you for all of your interest and your healthy skepticism (If there was this secret even the people who broke the game down to its code didn't know, I wouldn't believe me either). It's what led to the right answer! Enjoy!
2:00 funny how New Orleans actually won the NFC West in 1991 and San Francisco actually missed the playoffs.
The game is based off on the 1990 player stats and results and in that one San Fran lost to the Giants in the NFC championship (barely).
@@theptuniversity6165, I remember.
No Joe Montana that year go figure
I discovered this trick on my own as a kid, and that is not how it works. You just need the very last game in week 17 to be a division clincher. Once that happens and the cinematic plays, you just hit the reset button. That's it.
Shaun Ginty I made an update of that in the notes. I misremembered it because it was over fifteen years ago. I spent the hour digging up the exact GamePro article and getting that to the officers keepers of Tecmo Super Bowl knowledge, and they did their thing with it. Cautionary tale of not getting too hyped up and posting things at 5 in the morning,I suppose.
use to have fun having some teams play more than 16 games by resetting the division winner so they play again heh.
That was Eagles-Redskins, right?
Not too hard to do
That's how you guarantee Buffalo loses 11 playoff games in one year rather than just the one.
Both teams in the Super Bowl are the Bills.
Both teams still lose.
#20 Henry Jones is my all time favorite buffalo bill such a underrated safety
Ayy, next to Mark Kelso I think. Kelso had the extra cap on his helmet. Also this vid is crazy.
The bills blow and always will
I think it was the SNES tecmo super bowl where Henry Jones is a beast with 81 INT attribute!!
KC is a monster in this game.
Yeah definitely are.
Okoye was unstoppable especially on excellent
@@ojlott-w4n, that’s very true.
the “Nigerian Nightmare” 💪🏾
@@krvnjrcbs the move of stepping w the DL and diving right away is commonly
Known as “lurching” - you can do it w every Nose Tackle in the game & Bob Nelson for GB is actually the quickest at it (the programmers gave him 69RP “rushing power” by accident ) - regardless the lurch is banned from all live tourneys & online play / being that if you allow lurching the game is pretty boring & no skill involved. If you want to use any of the 3 DL it’s rule that you have to engage an OL in front of them first or go to the outside of the right or left tackle before can make a move at the QB or RB.
The Bills would still lose somehow :D
Lmao
Well of course.
Since one of them or all of them are Buffalo since the Super Bowl would be Buffalo ve Buffalo
They figured out how to lose last night, that's for sure.
The bills will always blow
Stone Cold....
even if bills all in playoffs , they going lose SB some how
Lol
@LordGoomba, wrong! Lost 38-24 and the Chiefs are in the SB once again.
@LordGoomba, not for my Chiefs it’s not.
@LordGoomba, well when that happens, I will be the first one to congratulate them.
Well no shit, if it's Bills vs. Bills of course they lose🙄
Even Nintendo felt bad for the Bills... so much that they guaranteed their win.
Just a heads up, if you ever want to try a new under the radar team against somebody or just the AI, use the Packers because if used right with Michael Harris as returner, Keith Woodside can be a beast, Don Majkowski can throw deep dots t Sterling Sharpe who can catch almost anything, and on defense Brian Noble and Johnny Holland are some of the best linebackers in the game
Chargers
Also colts. Albert Bentley
@@hippotuskman7808 solid
Bob Nelson is the best NT in the game

Dude...clean your room.
Save the bullshit and forward to 2:40, sheesh.
There was no PlayStation version of tecmo super bowl in 1991. This game only came out for the NES.
Uhm, actually: Tecmo super bowl had 3 games on snes, sega genesis, nds, AND playstation
@ incorrect, the ones on the genesis, snes and other platforms were actually sequels
I kid you not I once simulated a whole season to see what would happen and my Saints went undefeated.... I was as shocked as anyone but I think you don't give that particular team enough credit
So this is really the only game I played as a youth. But I didn't know this. But to me if shows that the creators likes or at least respect the sports genre. Now days , there is no competition playing the computer or career mode.
You just reset it when a team wins a division,and you get all bills in the playoffs
Be hopeful this is not the only way the Bills can finally win a Superbowl.
Mane I use to play with the Falcons, good times!
Where do you get and how do you use this PC Emulator?
heres a link to the SNES version: www.retrogames.cz/play_709-SNES.php?language=EN (make sure you save the game file when you're done btw)

@@will4emerson Thanks!
@@GrampaDisrespect no problem. Have fun!
I never had a problem with beating the Buffalo Bills
Ahhh the Lions. Last Playoff win in '91 and annually 5-11 since
Why would anyone do this?
I rigged the wins and losses using the fceux emulator where i can adjust the save memory. The trick didn't work
I have a ps 2 is there a super tecmo bowl version for it if not can I play ps 1 games on a ps 2
one of the video game designers was doing some good drugs and was a Jets fan.
And somehow buffalo would still lose the superbowl.
I took the Patriots all the way to the Super Bowl... 49ers creamed us LOL
I've lost to the 9ers as the Patriots to. They're tough to beat with those shitty Patriots
I made it with the pats..Marv cook and a ground game..got destroyed by the 49ers in da superbowl - 42-13..had a 10-0 lead at the half
I beat the 49ers once with the Pats, with some luck. I was down 17 at the start of the 4th, scored a quick TD to start the 4th, got a 3-and-out on defense, scored another TD, recovered an onside kick. With less than 30 seconds, I selected Pro T Flare D and threw to a covered Hart Lee Dykes. Grogan threw his patented moon-ball which HLD jumped up and got, came down, I made the defender miss, and ran in for the third TD in the quarter. Kicked off, time expired, and we tackled the return man for the win. It was awesome.
Anyone can beat anyone in the SB with the right strategy, but it's an arduous slog if you're playing as a bad team. You basically have to do QB sneaks endlessly and just pray to get 5-7 yards per carry; the pass coverage is usually too good. I've beaten the 49ers with the Pats and Colts in the SB many times (but I also played this game obsessively as a kid).
they needed an all excellent player code
Hell no we never be able to stop Christian okoye
I've had Tecmo Super Bowl for 20+ yrs. I've been trying to adjust the teams so they're more equally talented. Trades, upgrade, cuts, ECT. What programs did or do you use to adjust the game?
1knarf69 I was someone with way too much time on my hands one night, honestly. Played a few weeks to get a feel how the standings we're going to go and figured out which ones in the last week I needed to finish one way (Divisional rivalries are the trickiest. They couldn't be tied in the last week) and when a result wasn't to my liking, I reset it at the stadium scoreboard before it saved and tried again. Strangely enough, I had to reset Bills' stuff the most because outside of them, that division is DIRE in '89 TSB.
game genie did this I thought
question: has anyone ever seen the Vikings make the super bowl in sim?
I've seen the Colts win the super bowl before I saw the Vikes win one
Yes, but they lost to the Buffaloes.
I've probably played 200-odd seasons of TSB, and I've never once seen the Vikings make the Super Bowl. I honestly don't think I've ever even seen them make the NFCCG.
.... Hold the reset button when you hit power, it'll save your cartridge
What?
I’ve seen this back when I played tec
49rs are the best team in Tecmo Super Bowl... PERIOD!
mainly by default as their offense and defense simulation cap is maxed out.
Yeah right bro., I can't agree with you.
The Oilers were better overall than all teams defense and offense (combined) together, seeing their secondary was great, and they d-ends was cool, maybe 3 or 4 teams battled me sack wise, Lawrence Taylor [LT] (Giants), Simon Fletcher (Broncos) and Howie Long (Raiders) and sometimes D.Thomas (Chiefs) but my dude Ray Childress always stayed with the most sacks (or I kept him top 3 to 5) and that was great considering all the great defenses out there....
But best defense in the game was the Giants, then maybe Frisco, or Vikings with Browner and Chris Doleman but offense wise come on sir...no team was stacked like the Oilers....they had Drew Hill, Haywood Jeffries, Ernest Givins, Curtis Duncan, and Lorenzo White or the backup running back catching out of the back field.
No other team had the offensive firepower across the board wide receivers wise like them, closest other team wide receivers across the board was the Giants, and then the Raiders with Tim Brown, Willie Gault, Marcus Allen and Bo Jackson, and Frisco had 1 super receiver Jerry Rice and that crazy tide end catching everything (hahahah) I think it was Brent Jones....
Don't get me wrong, Jerry Rice was indeed the best wide receiver in the game, but consistenly Warren Moon always had more yards passing, and more TDs thrown than Montana when I played and I had at least two wide receivers at the top of the food chain always, if not 3 or 4 literally, as far as touchdowns, receiving yards, and usually my tide end C.Duncan usually always stayed with more receptions stats wise.
Houston Oilers was the best team bro., I was unstoppable.
@@yochananbenyah5669 Agreed, it's was all about the Oilers is Super Tecmo Bowl!!!
No way not even close or almost, the niners gtfo, not even in the top5 of this game. The Eagles because of Cunningham are the only team that can’t be stopped by choosing their play because Cunningham is too good period. I can assure u that it’s NOT sf period king.
Scott Sharp .... Dude, 49rs all day everyday in Tecmo Super-bowl .... They have a way better defense than the Eagles, better Offensive line, better RB tandem, better overall rated QB PC stat wise, Montana has 81 pass control, best receiver in the game Jerry Rice ... Taylor is also a top rated receiver... Philly doesn’t have the depth the Niners have, Cunningham is a stud but he only has 69 PC compared to Montana’s 81, and PC is the most important stat for completions... Cunningham is fast as hell, that’s his main strength... But he doesn’t have the receivers the 49rs have, or the defense the 49rs have ... 49rs 100 percent are the best team in Tecmo Super bowl and it’s not even debatable...
B.I.L.L.S Bills Intentionally Love Losing Super bowls
Shen Agüeybaná II no you wrong it stands for boy.i.love.losing.super bowls
Superbowl is 2 words so the acronym doesnt work
hahaha that is so wrong but its true
buffalo wouldve been the better choice for b. but still thats a good one.
Cant understand why someone would give this a thumbs down
It would end in a tie
Yes. The joke is that the Bills lose to themselves.
New Orlean has a offense...receivers are a nasty team they catch deep passes...and the defense is top rated from secondary, middle to dline...
Can I share this on my FB page?
Sorry, was away from the computer that sends me UA-cam notifications for a week. Anyway, go ahead!
I bet the Bills win the super bowl.
You must be a prophet!! :D
No way - The Bills will probably end up stealing the win, late in the 4th quarter. Nailbiter either way.
Lame
You can take any team in this game and make the playoffs and win the Sb..matter how mediocre they are..
Matthew Pearlingi Oh, I know. I've beaten it with the Arizona Cardinals, who have maybe the most pointlessly complicated playbook in the game. They are nowhere near a fast enough team to get away with using that much play action.
u mean the phoenix cardinals since arizona didnt appear until tecmo super bowl 2 special edition.
Yup.
I won SB with the ‘91 Patriots the absolute worst team on the game…they even wore pink jersey’s lol
My brother was good enough he won the Superbowl with New England and Cincinnati. He also won with the Packers many times. One of those seasons he rushed with Darrell Thompson for over 3000 yards. I still don't know how he did it.
The bills was the only team I used cuz I wasn't allowed to use the raiders or lions
Funny, the Bills are actually a better team than either of those two anyway.
@@Hotobu I got brother's that was fan of bo jackson and barry Sanders and that the reason I wasn't allowed to used to them
I suppose you're just awful.
I killed on Tecmo.
Fr kid was trash I had a 16-0 record with the 49ers only switched one play. Also the raiders beat the bills in the AFC championship and I got to face them in the Superbowl of course took dub on that 49-13
I have a question when i used to play this game as a kid i remember at one point and time i was able to change the weather the time clock and the season i could pick the 91 the 92 and 93 season.now that im older i forgot how to bring these options up.do u have a clue.i think after u put so many hours into it these options unlock but im not sure.and yes im talking about the tecmo superbowl for the nes system
Kory Jenkins it couldn't be the nes one because that came out in 1991 so accessing the the 1993 season would make no since I think your talking about the SNES tecmo bowl
That is Tech Super Bowl III: Final Edition.
I think I know what you mean. I had one on the Sega that I had a choice of three seasons. I don't rememeber the years anymore.
That's definitely the SEGA version. Maybe the SNES version but, definitely the SEGA. You could change the playbook while in game as well. I think the SEGA version was way better.
You go into season, schedule, push A then pick one of the years or do them all in a row.
Bills you could never blitz on a pass play
Their line was the only one that could handle it.
Skip, Skip and pass
First down each and every time.
Ps don't ever nose tackle on me
bravo sir
this game is very glitchy...i have an older copy..and apparently, you had to hold reset, to save your game, on the early copies..problem is..i don't remember having to do that as a kid..Mandela effect? maybe lol..because i have other copies, and you don't have to hold the reset button to save it....only on first run copies i came to find out....BUT...i have a glitch going on with my game...where all the Quarterbacks are playable on any offensive position (not sure about defense yet)..meaning, QB BILLS will be filling all the offensive positions..the later i played the game, other players would magically show up lol..and i could switch them in...and this is with ZERO GAMES PLAYED!!! :D i'm going to post a video on youtube about it soon....i think my copy is slightly broken...as i thought the battery was messed up..and thats why the game wasnt saving...this is my childhood copy from 1991. My brother and I may have broke it, because we played it like crazy as a kid lol...maybe this is the games way of saying "you have played too many seasons". LOL i recently, opened it up, and messed with the battery a little...and it started doing this lol....so....stay tuned! also...I'm from Buffalo NY, and a die hard bills fan :D GO BILLS!!!!
Wish there was an all excellent code
Go Bills
BILLS= Boy I love losing super bowls😅😅😅😅
0:49 lol you know it
Nice Interesting video
Only of interest if you're a Buffalo Bills fan. Yawwwwwn....... I'm a Niner fan. Have been since I was 6 years old in 1981.
speaking of uninteresting
Pretty worthless trick.
Never knew this but stupid thing to do to a great game instead of that taking up data they could of used that little bit of data to put in more plays.
it happens the same with the later installments
Could it be that this takes up less data? Instead of teaching the program a complicated 6-9 team tiebreaker, it defaults to the first listed team in the AFC.
Hey the Lakers of the make got the bills exactly right win a bunch choke in the super bowl
BILLS = Boy I Love Losing Super Bowls LOL :P Use to say that in Middle School back then :P Just one variation of course...
Superbowl is 2 words so thr acronym doesnt work
Urban Dictionary definition of "anywho". Non-existant word. Used by rather obnoxious people who think it's somehow a clever replacement for existant and perfectly fine conjunction "anyway". Generally found annoying and triggers homocidal tendencies in people who know better.
Have a Snickers Jan; you know you get a little angry when your hungry!
Anywho what's your point?
this gave me a laugh
All right; don't use the word then and you'll be good
Lol
Lol really
