Just read this and I think it's pretty interesting:

"Next Level Games has dabbled with the combination of Mario and sports in the past. Super Mario Strikers launched for GameCube, while Mario Strikers Charged came out for Wii. Next Level Games also created an idea for a third project at one point: “Super Mario Spikers”.

Super Mario Spikers would have been a new game for Wii featuring a mixture of volleyball/wrestling gameplay. Development never actually began, and the idea was canned soon after the initial phases of conceptualization."

Images need fixing.

Some video:

Looked pretty fun. Shame it got canned.

"Super Mario Spikers would have been a new game for Wii featuring a mixture of volleyball/wrestling gameplay. "
Yeah, it's pretty clear wy it was cancelled. Seriously. A mix between Volleyball and wrestling? How would that work? O_o

I wonder if such game would have been any good! :/

Most of that footage is from Mario Strikers Charged which was a fantastic game. Man I had fun with my family and that game.

Well it is a concept from next level games... I haven't been disappointed by them yet!

I can't imagine how it would have played though...

Mario Strikers was a great game. This could have been great if it had similar gameplay

We need Mario Strikes U
