Weeks after they announced Tecmo Bowl, the classic football game, for the DS, they are now also announcing a release on the Nintendo Wii console, sometime in 2009. No concrete details released yet.

Earlier this year, third-party publisher Tecmo revealed that a DS version of the classic football franchise Tecmo Bowl is in development. The company has been supporting the DS effort with a plethora of screenshots and video updates in recent weeks.

In a mailer sent to press today, Tecmo confirmed that a Wii build of Tecmo Bowl is also in development.

"Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff is scheduled for release this September [on DS]," Tecmo wrote. "A Wii version of Tecmo Bowl is in development and scheduled for release in 2009. However, it is too early to discuss the details of that version of the game."

We will have more on the Wii build in the coming months.
