Why no Mario Football?

Remeber most of us are in the US. And we have "American football". And call your football soccer.

But it seems a lot of people like the idea. I think that it might be a hit in the US, and mabye Europe. If it happens, though, I would be thinking a 3rd party company will do it. I couldnt see Nintendo do this themselves.

Maybe cuz American Football isn't popular in Japan at all?
Neither is Rugby.

Even if it's not just you (cause it isn't) the amount of people can't compare to the people who would buy the gimmicks. In the end, whether you like it or not Nintendo will probably get money for creating Mario sports, Party, Kart, and all. For the record, I was referring to the general people who complain about all the gimmicks Nintendo do.

what you say is true in a lot of aspects because Nintendo is all about making the money, and they will take the route that gives them the most money... Not the most customer satisfaction

They wouldnt get very many buys...Not too many ppl i know that likes Football on Consoles

I thought there was that Mario Strikers game, or something, though. 0_o

[Thee Archer]

yup, strikers. Not a bad game tbh, just not very interesting if u dont like fùtbol

I dont think its because the Japs don't like Football. Any company will do what ever it takes to make a profit :P
It seems like more of a logistics thing.... Football wouldnt work with the mario characters. Can you imagine Peach trying to tackle Bowser? And if Bowser tackled Peach, she would be crushed :P So i dont think they could work around that :/
I'd love to have Mario Football, but I cant see it happening in the near future...

actually I don't see it happening in the future at all ... just because of some of the things... like you pointed out peach VS bowser if she is tackling him or being tackled she is going to lose that fight

[SoulSeizures]

But when has that ever stopped anyone? You also have to remember it's Mario, it's a video game, and they could just hand wave the explanation for why Peach vs Bowser would be legitimate, anyways.

Maybe because Bowser will tackle the s*** out of the players lol
