Now Nintendo should make Mario Football (Gridiron), and use the WiiU pad to plot strategies etc.

If it's successful, it will force EA's hand. They'd be forced to play ball (no pun intended).

How so?

That would be one less reason for EA to invest in WiiU

As I mentioned before, if a gridiron football game becomes hugely successful that is NOT an NFL license, do you think that the NFL would accept EA's excuse to NOT directly compete with it, with it's own hardware advantage, such as the gamepad?

I guess there's a point there, but first they'd have to make the game and somehow make it popular on a platform that doesn't seem to be interested in traditional sports games. I mean, even if Nintendo made it it would still probably be nothing like the "real" NFL games.

Introduce something that the NFL games don't have. You'd be drawing interest from both sides (the gridiron fans and the Mario fans), and demoing the WiiU potential for the sport at the same time. Then people will ask "why isn't *insert feature here* available for Madden?"
