Hell no, Nintendo should "pull a Sega." When EA decided to cancel all their sports games on the Dreamcast, Sega decided to make their own sports games, and they were really good. 2K is actually the studio Sega formed to make them. Of course they later on sold 2K, but their legacy is there.


2K was from Sega? :-O:-O:-O

I understand the actual reason EA didn't release games on Dreamcast was purely BECAUSE of 2K rather than them being an instead of solution. Sega purchased Visual Concepts before EA said they wouldn't make any games.

Sega refused to not release the 2K games, so EA chose not to release anything at all on the system.

When SEGA went third party, they chose to sell Visual Concepts to Take Two.

I think that would be flooding the market too much. However, releasing three or four sports in one package would be great.

Face it everybody. There isnt enough money in sports game, sims and fantasy. Licensing is probably expensive so sims are expensive. MLB isnt big enough for any company to try making baseball sims other than Sony(hasent cracked 1M per game), and its probably more of a loss leader than anything. NHL only sells 1M max a year and doenst have a competitor because of it. NFL locked up. FIFA 2 good competitors. NBA does well but apparantly not well enough to be free on PSN(note:not an insult, just saying big sellers dont go on so soon to digital services). Other niche sports wont sell better.

Onto fantasy sports. We havent had a console Mario Golf since before the inception of the Wiimote. Think about that for a second. The perfect virtual golf controller that had like 20 golf games(last gen mostly shovelware). Im personally okay with Nintendo characters taking the helm in fantasy sports(Mario, DK, throw in Samus, a Fire Emblem guy, Bayonetta, or anyone else for cross promotion). Mario Hoops did 1.3M, not huge. Mario Baseball franchise did less than 2.per game. Stirkers did around 1.6 and 2.5 repecttively. I dont know what Nintendo wants from these games. Its apparantly not worth it for Nintendo, though I would welcome some cheap digital rehashes of the games if they truly arent worth it.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

There's no point with the Wii U. There's no audience for that and it's too late to change it now. 

But for Fusion if they're starting with a blank slate and genuinely want to appeal to a broader audience ... maybe.

What I'd do is this ... cut a deal with EA and let them include Mario Sports versions in the NFL, FIFA, and NHL games if they agree to make good Fusion versions of their sports games. Similar to the GCN days, but make it a bit bigger of a deal than that.

the problem with EA sports is they make shit games  compared to 2K. Even back in the day ken griffey jr was a much better game then what EA did with MLB 2000. I personally don't touch any EA sports game or know anyone who does if 2 has their on version. 

If they going to cut a deal go with 2K at least more people will enjoy the games.

You should play the recent FIFA games. They are by far the best sports games IMO.

Super Smash Brothers Sports! A spinoff of Super Smash! That way noone can say that the games are just Mario rehashes.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Mario sport games are not needed. It would be cool enough if those would simply be goofy/funny sports games.

You know give us arcadey games no realism. Give us fun isntead of work etc.

In Nintendo World Cup people that got fouled made the goofiest expressions xD



Give us sports game that are hilarious

Games where stuff like this is intentional


I would be so down with this. Do it Nintendo!



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD
