In 2013, Michael Mendheim tried to bring back one of the most beloved (and wacky) sports titles from the retro era on KickStarter. While the campaign for Mutant Football League ultimately failed, the creators weren't about to give up. Now they've announced the game will be landing on the PS4 and Xbox One, and I got the chance to talk with Michael about the game's return, along with some brand new screenshots from the game. Come inside to check it all out!
The classic 16-bit game is finally making a return! One of my favorite sports titles (pretty impressive considering how much I really don't care for sports games) has always been Mutant League Football, and when the original developer of the game, Michale Mendheim, revealed a reboot of sorts, for the title on Kickstarter, I couldn't back it fast enough. Sadly, the funding never reached it's goal, but gamers shouldn't be disheartened.

With the dawn of a new NFL season, we take a look at how Madden NFL became a sports video game revolution and took over the gaming gridiron.
The Madden NFL series has brought in more than $3 billion in revenue for EA over the last three decades. In that time, the game has transcended both the video game industry and even the man who originally lent it his name. “Madden” to most people these days is not a legendary head coach and color commentator - but a video game.
Even John Madden himself admitted as much way back in 2002 in an article in the Los Angeles Times.
Madden was in a hotel room in San Francisco when a Philadelphia Eagles player walked in asking, “Where’s Madden?”
Everyone else in the room pointed to the then Fox commentator.
“No, not that Madden,” the player said. “I want the game.
