 Tecmo recently announced that Robocalypse and Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff have gone gold and will be released on the DS later this month. Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff hopes to deliver an updated version of the classic arcade style gameplay that the gridiron series is known for. Set in the future, Robocalypse is a real-time strategy game that allows players to control all the action with the stylus.    


Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff features 32 selectable teams, cut-scenes, stylus control, super abilities, and remixed songs from earlier games. Players have a variety of options to customize their football team and their playbook. The game also supports online and local wireless play.    


In Robocalypse, players must defeat an evil robotic army with their own humanoid machines. The tide of a battle may be turned through the use of Heroes who have many special abilities, including turning enemies into refrigerators.  Spongebob Squarepants writer Jay Lender scripted the game's 17 mission campaign. Up to four players can participate in local wireless play.    


Robocalypse and Tecmo Bowl: Kick Off will be available in stores on November 18th for the suggested retail price of $29.99.
