Why no Mario Football?

[TRICOURAGE]

I've thought of this many a time. Its either because they dont have enough characters, or becasue of the simple fact its only popular in NA. I dont know, but I would buy this.

[Splodey]

The market for football games is on systems outside of Nintendo's systems. So they wouldn't end up making the money they would obviously want.

[Kaji]

it may be because they thought of if and they coudnt run aginst all the other football games

Why was my post deleted again? It's true; if Nintendo made Mario Football, it'd just prove it has to resort to even MORE gimmicky games. <_<

What's to prove this would cause gimmicky games? It's Nintendo just reaching to a different leaf of a branch they've been sitting on since at least the N64. They're would be no difference, the people like you who bitch about gimmicky games don't realize Nintendo's been doing this stuff well before you even realized the word "gimmick."

God, it's worse than fanboys.

"Gimmicky" games?
Well look at Nintendo's Mario spinoffs?
All of those are "gimmicky"--any game that isn't part of a set storyline--and involves minigames, is "technically" a gimmicky game.


--back to the topic--

Football(NFL) would SO work if they just had Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and a couple others as secret characters in like a "NFL Street Vol.5"--or whatever.
Or as a Mario Football game--they could just fill the "gaps" in the rosters w/ Koopa Troopas, and other baddies for Bowser's team.
and have Mushroom people for Mario's team--or maybe some different yoshi linebackers.

It wouldn't be too tough to do.

as for "Marketing" the game...I don't see why it would be all that hard for here in the US...
if its put out w/ EA on the cover--it'll instantly sell copies.
"Madden-Mario NFL 2011"

Or make it like "Strikers" or "Superstar Baseball"--it could work.

I basically agree with all that Fyree had said. Secretive Mario characters or team would be something of a fun surprise I would think to some people on a professional game. As well, if they didn't have enough space allowing multiple characters of the same people could be allowed or just creating a smaller size of teams could work as well.

EA, yeah why don't they ever think of doing a sport game with them?

[maliciousruler]

Well... like it has been stated before... it would have to compete too heavily with current football games... mostly kids would want it ... because if you are a die hard foot ball fan what would you rather have a mario football game... or play as your favorite team?

Once I think about it, football doesn't really fit with Mario and Nintendo.

Would you say Baseball, Soccer, Tennis or Golf would? Really what would make football any different?

I'm saying...
I can't imagine Mario characters with a football.
