These processes are usually straightforward but slightly time-consuming. Arcade1Up sent over a cabinet to build and test out to see how it stacks up to my memories.Īs with all Arcade1Up cabinets, the NFL Blitz Legends cabinet fits in most nooks and cranniesīefore you can jump into any Arcade1Up machine, you need to build it. When this announcement was made, I was overjoyed by the idea of having some of my favorite football games available in a modern way. These arcade classics are brought forward and remastered for the first time since their initial releases in the '90s. This replica arcade cabinet features three classic NFL Blitz titles in one four-player cabinet: NFL Blitz, NFL Blitz '99, and NFL Blitz 2000 Gold Edition. In August, Arcade1Up, the company behind various arcade replicas, including other Midway classics like NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat, announced the franchise's return through NFL Blitz Legends. Despite EA Sports acquiring the license from Midway during its 2009 liquidation, the NFL has largely seemed averse to the hard-hitting arcade-style gameplay of the Blitz series. Before that, we hadn't received a proper NFL-licensed Blitz title since Midway's NFL Blitz 20-03 on PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Game Boy Advance.
Even then, it was considered a retro revival title developed by Madden studio EA Tiburon. The last NFL Blitz was released on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in January 2012. It's been more than 10 years, to be exact. NFL Blitz now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
