First and Only At-Home NFL Arcade Experience. Celebrates the 25th Anniversary of the Popular Blitz Franchise.
The National Football League (NFL) and Arcade1Up, the leader in retro at-home arcade games, today announced the retail launch of NFL Blitz Legends. Featuring remastered versions of the legendary NFL Blitz games that captured the attention of millions of fans during their heyday in the 90s, NFL Blitz Legends modernizes the gameplay with online competition and leaderboards. Launching during the 2022 NFL season – and in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the original game – NFL Blitz Legends is now available on Arcade1Up.com and in-store and online at select retail partners.
The NFL and Arcade1Up have created a unique arcade machine for the home featuring three of the most popular titles, NFL Blitz, NFL Blitz ‘99, and NFL Blitz 2000: Gold Edition, with the ability for gamers to compete on live leaderboards.
In a first for the Blitz franchise, fans will be able to go head-to-head in NFL Blitz Legends with all-new multiplayer functionality going live in the coming weeks. This cabinet-to-cabinet feature has never been achieved in an NFL Blitz game and brings the gameplay of the original titles to a whole new level. Adding multiplayer functionality, along with other fan-favorite features, to NFL Blitz Legends is sure to appeal to fans new and old.
In collaboration with the IMG-managed Football Greats Alliance (FGA), hundreds of NFL legends are featured including Dan Marino, Jerry Rice, Deion Sanders, Jerome Bettis, Terrell Davis, and Cris Carter. To add to the authenticity of the gaming experience, NFL Blitz Legends showcases the retro NFL football team logos and uniforms.
