Tecmo

see those graphics right there? That's how it looks on your TV.

Tecmo ball.

I told y'all.

I'm lying.

[laughs]

It was, it was Tecmo.

Yeah.

Tecmo published and developed it, so.

That's awesome.

Um, it...

I'm

talking about on Tecmo ball.

Anderson for Cleveland?

Yeah, who was the Cleveland running back on Tecmo ball?

Andy Anderson was Atlanta.

Was Anderson Atlanta? Jamal Anderson was Atlanta, but Tecmo Bowl.

No, but that was Madden.

Jamal Anderson

And he's mentioned Burning Mort many times, but I never really understood what it was.

And I wasn't a Tecmo Nintendo guy, and so it just kind of passed over me.

But recently, a guy on YouTube came out and experienced Burning Mort, and he created a video, and they're having their viral moment.

It's got hundreds of thousands of views.

And that's exactly what Burning Morty is.

But I think we need to back it way up.

For people of a certain age, there was a really important football game on the Nintendo called Tecmo Super Bowl that we played when we were kids and just never really grew out of it.

And like everything else, once the internet started to mature, people started to find each other.

year.

Well, what Tecmo was saying, We've seen the improvement.

The national media has just heard about it, right? They've read about it.

But at least we've physically seen the difference.

Yeah.

And you're, you go through, and each level you can pick up, um, you can pick up new characters, and it's filled with like Dynasty Warrior characters and weird characters from Koei Tecmo games.

Cool looking all those numbers on that screen.

So like, and it is, and it, it...

Hello, and welcome back to Lab 52, a Dynasty Football podcast.

I'm one of your hosts for today's episode of the Tecmo Weave, joined by my co-host Weapon X, and we have a special guest, returning guest star, Amaro Starr.

On today's episode, we're going to be doing a preseason preview of the longest running Dynasty League that I've been in, the Blue Ribbon Championship League.

It's an old school league.

Always good to talk some football, especially right before football season, the real football season starts.

Yeah, absolutely.

And then, like you said, Tecmo, with this being such a long-running league, you could tell it's very long-running because non-PBR, I mean, those were back in the day when people did scoring on newspapers.

That's the non-PBR scoring.

But speaking of games to help John's child's future education, this week we checked out Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball for the Xbox.

Yeah, so this was developed by Team Ninja, published by Tecmo, and designed by Tomonobu Itagaki, Katsunori Ihara, Motohiro Shiga, and it was released in January of 2003.

It is like a sports casino, but I guess technically that's right.

It is a sports casino game with a reception of, I see what you did here, 6 to 9 out of 10.

But there was a website, I think it was called Ninja Hacker, that was run.

And what they did on this website apparently had about 100 users on it at the time back in 2005.

And Tecmo sued them because they were taking the source code from the game, hacking into it, and then creating skins that can then be placed on modded Xboxes.

So skins being just skin instead of a bikini.
