Unseen64 have uncovered the existence of Super Mario Spikers which was under development for a very short period of time by the acclaimed Next Level Games. The site says it was a cancelled volleyball/wrestling hybrid game that was in the conceptualisation phase, but never made it past that.
‘It was a wrestling/volleyball hybrid with a game show slant. It was never released and was financed as more of a reward to Next Level for doing such a great job on MSC’
Now This would have been awesome!
Wtf this game looks amazing. Make it like the 64 wrestling games and it would be great
They definitely should not have scrapped it. I definitely would have purchased it!
I agree. Those N64 wrestling games was awesome! Sure beats the complicating play control of today’s wrestling games.
A wrestling volleyball hybrid!? I want to play that!
Those animations were really rough, heh. Would have been cool!
Please Nintendo, if you read this, bring this game to Wii U. Wii U is more powerful than Wii. No excuse for you not to take advantage the power of Wii U.
This sounds even more fun than Mario Strikers…
Sounds a lot more hardcore at that too. :3 This could be a great game for UK and American audiences. Although I would love to see Strikers 3 on Wii U to help boost it in UK too.
agreed. I always wondered why they’ve never made a mario vollyball game. looks like they almost did, shame too it would have been great!
There was a great Volleyball mini game in Mario Party 4. It was actually a special mini game that took a while to unlock. Hockey in 5 and Basketball in 6 were the same.
All almost good enough for a solo game.
Am I the only one who is glad they didn’t make this
Yes. Because you’re tasteless. lol
I too am glad, and am Nintendo to the T.
F=ma.
love that uniform concept, mario has never been so cool
I would of bought it.
I have a smash brothers demo code
I’ll gladly take it. @anonymous
My email is chuytorre@yahoo.com. Thanks.
Bro wait like, 10 hours and you can get it for free.
I love how they fell for that
I know, I’m just a bit impatient. That’s all.
The sad truth is, by the time the guy gets back to you, the demo will be out for all.
You are probably right. Lol
Still, if you get it, good for you!
Thanks Hopper!
Snouts
Wrestling mixed with Volleyball sounds a bit too random to be any good.
This feels like it could of been a case of simply using popular characters to get more people to buy your game although you can never find out unless its actually made.
Mario looks stupid in that suit.
Are ypu stupid yourself? He looks badass in that. XD
Yo Nintendo, this game can be Wii U’s great break for hardcore audiences. Do it..DO IT NOW! :D
I honestly wouldn’t buy it. It doesn’t appeal to me. But I guess it could be good for some folks.
You seriously don’t like Volleyball? XD
No.
You suck. XD
I may suck, but I suck with style. (Because I’m awesome)
BJs? XD
That depends on the definition of BJ. Yes, I do drink blue juice. :P
XD Didn’t get the joke I see. Slow as usual. XD
And what kind of “blue juice”? XD Blueberry Koolaid?
Yep. *sips Kool-Aid* xD And I already got the joke. I just avoided it because I’m smart like that. :p
Right. XP
i’d have been more interested in why it was cancelled rather than why it was financed
might have gotten turn down, because peach and dasiy my guess( Peach almost got in punch out, but nintendo said no, do to violence against women)
Smash bros says hi
smash bros has different style
It doesn’t matter. I’m pretty sure Nintendo is over that now.
yeah
This game looks freaking hilarious!!
I would of bought it just for the humor. :D
Looks like it could have been fun.
Well I guess not everything can break the mold.
That was stupid!
it would have been a nice change from all the super mario bros remakes we keep getting.
by the way that fan in the backround with the DK sign has the right idea!
I think maybe they cancelled it because of Mario Sports Mix. Which had volleyball included in it and three other sports but no boxing which would’ve been cool.
Interesting… Probably would have played it myself.
If this were released on Wii U, can you imagine how fast the Miiverse boards would be shut down due to an influx of pictures of, I don’t know, Peach mud-wrestling Daisy, or something?
Don’t be giving ideas now….
Hahaha, volleyball AND wrestling? This would have been amazing. I love Mario sports games and haven’t really seen one in a while!
I’d rather have a true wrestling game using the same premise as Super Smash Bros: a plethora of Nintendo mascots wrestling each other. Characters like Pikachu, Kirby, Jigglypuff might be out of the question as playable, though, since they don’t exactly have the bodies for wrestling.
We already have Smash Bros. Personally, I’d rather this be the Mario sports game that this could have been or a new IP.
love some of the animations,dammit bring this back
Why why???I want that game for Wii U! I want next level games to develop a game for Wii U.
One way or another, I do hope NLG has something new in the works. I generally enjoy their games (except for Luigi’s Mansion 2).
