The informative team at Did You Know Gaming? have produced yet another interesting video, this time looking at various projects that were being developed at Retro Studios, before being cancelled. There are a few that we know of, including Raven Blade, but there are some others that have been dug up, such as a Portal-style Wii game titled Adept. Check out the findings on various Retro Studio games in the video embedded below.
Thanks to Greatsong1 for sending in the news tip!
I like the idea of having Mario play football, surprised they haven’t ever had a Mario Football game.
They have, it’s called Super Mario Strikers.
I mean Football like Madden NFL not soccer, watch the video around 18 minutes.
So you mean egghand, not football.
“Football” has a far more complex history than people are willing to admit. Back in the day, two sports where officially established as football: rugby football and association football. In fact, rugby football predates association football by a few weeks. American football is a form of rugby football, which is why the US went with the term “football”. It’s not an outlandish or incorrect name for the sport at all.
“Soccer” is a shortened/morphed version “association” (first shortened to “assoc” then “soccer”). The term “soccer” actually originated in Britain, and was interchangeable with the term football for a while. It wasn’t until the US adopted the term “soccer” the Britain suddenly stopped using the term to disassociate themselves with America.
My point is this: The US terms “football” and “soccer” have a rich history that date back to the founding of the two original sports. These terms are just as accurate as anything else, and it’s not really fair to say YOUR way is correct just because you live there. If anything, I think it’s quite unfair that Britain came up with the term “soccer” then acted like the US was dumb for using it.
Spanish: Fútbol (from Football)
French: Football
German: Fussball (from Football)
Portuguese: Futebol (from Football)
Turkish: Futbol (from Football)
All accross the world is known as football, so it’s not MY way, is the WORLD’s way.
And it’s literally a ball you kick with your foot. Not an egg you throw with your hand and ocassionally kick.
You ignored my point entirely. The name of American football has its roots in the VERY first sport to officially have football in it’s name. No one truly knows the origan of why we call it football, but there are theories that it comes from ball games that were played on foot instead of on a horse. Regardless, historically speaking, rugby football has just as much of a claim to the word “football” as association football.
Also, the US is NOT the only country to use the term soccer for association football. There are plenty of other places too. Japan calls association football “sacca” which comes from soccer, and even has their own American football sport. Canada calls it soccer too. England itself used to use the term soccer. Soccer was traditionally used in Australia, although now both terms are used. Ireland also interchangeably uses the term soccer, since football is commonly associated with “Gaelic Football”, another sport that comes from rugby. A lot of south Africa uses “sokker”. Bulgaria uses “sokur”. Soccer may not be AS popular as football, but there are still plenty of places that use different terminologies for the two sports.
Again, my point is that rugby has been associated with the term “football” since its inception. Football can refer to either association football or rugby football, and it is incredibly simple minded to be so dismissive of any other use of the word.
I believe the origination came from when they hiked the ball originally it was done with their foot not the hands. This was in rugby.
And my point is that one is football, the other is handegg, no matter what you say. I will die in this hill, as so does the majority of the world.
Then you are being willfully ignorant and narrow minded. You have done nothing to address any of the points I made and are restating a pejorative term as if it somehow proves anything. Rugby has been called football since it’s inception, and no amount of seething on your end will change that.
Yes. How you call a sport decides if you are ignorant and narrow minded, or not. It’s common knowledge that NOTHING is more important than that. This is all I think about all day long. I lost my job, friend and family because this is what’s important. I even forgot to feed my dog and she died because of this. But still, it’s football and handegg.
After that atrocious strawman, this is clearly a worthless endeavor, but come on. I obviously am not saying what you call a sport is the most important thing in life. I don’t care what you call it. What is narrowminded is your REFUSAL to even consider the historical and cultural legitimacy of using football to refer to rugby football.
I you didn’t care about how I called it, this nonsense would have never started. Now, being real, please for the love of god stop taking Internet so seriously. I was obviously trolling. BTW, as my name indicates, I am not British like you thought so (talk about being narrowminded and ignorant), I am a Canadian Hispanic, and I do use the word soccer obviously. Stop being offended over so silly stuff as like how a random person on the Internet that you have no idea who is calls a sport, that shouldn’t affect your daily life whatsoever. Go out and have some fun, there are great SNES and N64 games available right now on Switch.
Hold on, I NEVER claimed you were British, what on earth are you talking about?
Again, I don’t care what you call it. What’s obnoxious is you “correcting” people for using football to talk about American football. It’s kinda silly for you to suddenly claim I’m the overly offended one, when you were the one whining about terminology to begin with. You can’t pull this whole “I was only joking” after making MULTIPLE comments correcting people and claiming you will “die on this hill”.
“I will die in this hill, as so does the majority of the world.”
I think the average person has better things to do than obsess over something so stupid.
I thought it was called football because you use your foot and a ball.
Makes sense.
I like American football, but that’s exactly what it is AMERICAN football which is mainly using your hands
So you mean egghand, not football.
Aka “jotted notes off the Wiki page like they do for every video”
Maybe actually watch it. They interview several devs
The origin of the term Egghand started in the Mynintendonews forum in 2023. It will eventually transplant the term ‘football’ primarily in use in the United States, for many around the world.
