So Mutant Football League came out today on Switch. Reviews have been really good for it so I will be picking it up this weekend. Anyone else picking it up?

I have it, its a good substitute for a real NFL Licenced arcade football game. Worth picking up for football fans who arcade action, even though its not NFL and it blatantly says "No affiliated with the NFL or NFLPA.
So I guess 2 of the teams were left out of the Switch version by accident, but they will be added in with a free DLC November 9th for all Switch owners.

So the latest update (available now for Xbox One and PS4 and PC, will be available soon on Switch) will have the option to turn of the hazards, deaths and dirty plays to make the game like a traditional football game. Also it will update the roster to reflect this current NFL season. This is for the time being the closest to a Madden game we will get on the Switch.

Played a bit of this tonight and noticed that the Switch has all the current teams available, the latest is the Brawltimore Razors. I know they will be adding the Forty Nightmares next just not sure when.
Also I did notice that they added options where you can turn off the hazards and the dirty plays making it more like a traditional football game.

So the final DLC teams for MFL have been announced. The Mangels (Bangels) Threat (Jets) Kraken (Dolphins) and Cadvers (Commanders). This will be the final DLC as the development team, who's based in Ukraine, are switching gears to MFL 2.

It's...interesting how MFL is still the best Murican Football option for Switch owners. Makes me wish some indie developer would go to Koei Tecmo and make a pitch for a Tecmo Bowl reboot or something.

@Magician I think the thing that kills another Football game is the fact that EA has exclusivity with the NFL and NFLPA. The fact that all the teams and teams would be generic names. I know that Tecmo Bowl didn't have the teams names but did have the cities and the players names (at least the NES version did) but for hard-core fans they want to play as their favorite team or player.
At least MFL uses parodies of the player and team names, so that helps a bit.

@Magician EA have exclusivity to "simulation" football from the NFL and NFLPA.
That shouldn't stop a developer if they wanted to make an arcade style game.
