Not only would this bring the likes of Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Bowser, Wario, Waluigi, all the Koopa Kids, Goombas, Monty Moles, Chargin’ Chucks, Shy Guys, and more, but Mario NFL Play Action Football could be a throwback to Nintendo’s football series from the NES and SNES era: Play Action Football. This is a longshot, but maybe just maybe, 2K and Nintendo are working together on one of my pie-in-the-sky dream games: a Mario sports game based on American football. Bring back Pablo Sanchez! He was basically Mahomes before Mahomes! This could also be an avenue for a tie-in with the Backyard Sports franchise, which seems like it might be back in the hands of the original developers Humongous Entertainment after years of bouncing around corporate overlords because of bankruptcy and junk. See, he’s not getting a concussion he just got his flag ripped off hard. With the NFL wanting to publicly shy away from the brutality of the game, this might be a good video game version of the sport to trumpet. So 2K can’t make a simulation football game? Let’s take the realest graphics you can and plop Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Jones, JJ Watt, Za’darius Smith, and David Bakhtiari in that park near your house so they can ball out playing flag football. It would probably be the easiest way for 2K to make use of fond Blitz and Street memories in a brand new game. I’m not the biggest fan of the NBA Playgrounds games, but in the right hands, a prospective NFL 2K Playgrounds could offer up a fun backyard-style football experience. NBA Playgrounds and NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 both came out for Switch, offering somewhere in the court of middling NBA Jam-esque gameplay. With that in mind, if 2K was to go the classic arcade route, I’d expect them to make use of the Playgrounds franchise, which they purchased in 2018.

EA, if you can’t tell, has owned the NFL license for video games for 15 years. The next clearest past example of an NFL non-simulation video game is NFL Street, but as far as we can tell, EA still owns the rights to the name NFL Street, though the last iteration of that franchise was in 2006. The clearest past example of an NFL non-simulation video game is NFL Blitz, but as far as we can tell, EA still owns the rights to the name NFL Blitz, though the last iteration of Midway-created franchise was in 2012. With that out of the way, let’s rampantly speculate on possible results of this new NFL and 2K partnership. Those two feature real players, but have over-the-top aspects, like players going on fire. The Mario sports games are good examples of arcade sports, but they can also have league-licensed versions as well, such as NBA Jam and NFL Blitz. While they aren’t always super realistic, the goal is authenticity, with how players act and how the game’s overall presentation is.

It’s when the game you play is close to the actual professional games. Simulation is best represented by Madden, FIFA, and the NBA 2K series. To start, let’s go over the differences between a simulation sports game and an arcade sports game. For the purposes of this here Nintendo-focused website, we might cover an NFL video game for the first time since 2012. This is exciting for a variety of reasons, even if the emphasis on non-simulation could be a downer for some. After more than a decade of EA Sports owning the NFL license on consoles, 2K has entered a new partnership with the NFL to make a “non-simulation” football game.
