Why would they change an extremely popular brand in favour of a generic dumbed down name?
It's absolutely not the same game when a change that drastic is made to the name. It could happen that what you say is true, nothing is impossible these days when it comes to the Wii, but honestly, if you are changing the name, then you are changing the game itself to aim for the new audience. I don't think any Tecmo Bowl fan will be buying a game called Family Fun Football if he didn't know the game was the exact same.
A lot of sales lost and not a good name either to appeal to football fans or casual players. The name is generic, dumb and many people will associate it with terrible shovelware or kiddy stuff.
