I love my WII U, but all my friends who own other consoles (but absolutely love mario kart 8) keep banging on about the lack of a good football game! I know EA has jumped ship but surely theres a massive business opportunity to bring out a decent game as the gap for that market is HUGE! Does anybody know of a title in development or have any views on this subject?

Mario Football would be interesting, but unlikely considering its lack of worldwide appeal.

Oh, you mean Soccer. Yeah, there's lots of potential there.

I ws going to make joke about how madden sucks and every console needs a decent football game until I realized you mean't soccer. Maybe Konami will come back into the fold with PES.

WAT!

They should have gotten Football Manager from Sega, but they went for Sonic instead

As a Canadian, I've been waiting for Mario Hockey for like 15 years. My heart breaks.

I would LOVE a new Mario Strikers game. Loved Charged on Wii.

Looking forward to: No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again

From a post I made yesterday - b/c yes Wii U needs an NFL type game too

A Mario NFL game along the lines of Sluggers or Strikers - playing more like NFL Blitz than Madden - would be nice. Mario as QB, Luigi WR, Bowser at running back. DK would be linebacker.

I'd love to see the Mario Sports games return, but can they exist alongside all the motion control and Mii sports games? Wii U versions of Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Mario Strikers, Mario Baseball etc with options for traditional controls and deep campaigns, with the Wii Sports games for picking up and playing in short bursts.

Atari had a cool game called Cyberball.... It was robots playing football- pretty awesome. I had it on the Lynx but I think they also had an arcade version. That would be killer on the Wii U.

That was an awesome system! I think I still have mine somewhere. It still works but it kinda had a short with the power adapter. It could be fixed pretty easily if I was one who was good with my hands and electronics. I guess it won't happen but I'd love to see Nintendo buy out Atari's IP and then either play some new adaptations (Centipede on the 3ds is really cool) and/or play old games like Tempest on the Wii U.

I couldn't care less about sport games.
They should have a few though, since seemingly they are popular(?).

I've got Madden and 2k13- that's enough for me for a while. Picked up FIFA for $10 but haven't even opened it. I wouldn't mind a hockey game.

For the record Madden used to be an awesome series until the flipped all the mechanics around and stopped focusing on delivering interesting game modes

But yes, the Wii U is in desperate need of ANY sports game. Football, Soccer, Basketball, BASEBALL, etc.

Currently Playing: Steamworld Heist, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Tales of Graces F

It would be nice to get another entry in Strikers and Tennis but knowing Nintendo they'll put motion controls in and ruin it.

The Wii U is in desperate need of a lot of things.
A soccer game isn't one of them.
