Mutant Football League takes the field on Kickstarter
Mutant League is back... if it can get $750,000 in Kickstarter funding. The latest franchise tackling nostalgia for cash is the Sega Genesis-era series that combined over-the-top mutant violence with sportsball. It was like the opening scene to Last Boy Scout with zombies, but without the serious. The Kickstarter campaign is being headed by Michael Mendheim, the creator and lead designer on the original game. "Mutant League also spawned a syndicated television series, a comic, a toy line and a sequel called, Mutant League Hockey. Then the game was suddenly cancelled and Mutant League was no more," wrote Mendheim on the game's campaign page. "The [new] game features will include the use of brutal enforcer players, field obstacles, hazards, player weapons and dirty trick plays (where throwing a bomb is literally throwing a bomb)." If successful, Mutant Football League is scheduled to take the field in the next 14 to 18 months.
EA confirms retro compilation game
A few weeks ago, Gamespot, using their highly accute senses of detectivism, spotted a new listing for EA Replay, a retro compilation that was made up of some of the best games EA released in the '90s, at Gamestop.com. Now, 1UP is reporting EA has finally confirmed the game's existance.All 13 games from the previous report will be in the final version, and we can expect to get our grubby mitts on this bad boy come Nov. 7. Also, a PS2 version is in the works, as well.While the list is pretty good, I don't think there's any need to have three Road Rashes, and I would have loved to see Mutant League Hockey make its way onto the game. God, I remember spending many a day tearing up the ice with Bones Jackson back in the day.(Via 1UP)
