I have it and I absolutely love it! I hope they continue on and make a Mutant Hockey League next.

[@crazyoldschool6342]

Love to see a hockey and nba!

[@InfinityReptar]

Just got it!

[@claytonmiller3754]

Hockey be s ton of fun

[@hailthesuccubus5764]

InfinityReptar how is it?

[@NickNyce]

Alone1sAgain mutant league hockey was 🔥 I gotta find that for genesis again..

[@Jim-wb7hl]

Loved the Genesis version back in the day along with Mutant League Hockey. I never knew about this. Hot damn.

[@DrRickDagless]

Jim Mutant League Football was great. My cousin had Sega Channel and it was always on there.

[@Chubzdoomer]

This is easily one of the most underrated/underappreciated sports games to date. It perfectly recaptures the magic of the original Mutant League Football on Sega Genesis and is simply a blast to play. I really hope this new retail release earns it way more popularity, because if any game deserves it it's this one. More people need to know just how awesome and hilarious it is!

[@VoteRFK]

Do you know if you can turn off the things on the field like lightnings and mines? That sounds like it would be frustrating and unavoidable.

[@bmac2814]

This game is so much fun. It really is. The same amount of players on the field that nfl street had. And the same playstyle and even movements from the old blitz games. Its not madden. It's an arcade football game. Not supposed to be a simulator but it's not so arcade that it no longer feels like a football game. Which I was worried about.

[@SpawnWave]

Yo this looks like Blitz, I'm in.

[@alvaroherrera6720]

You guys should stream a vs match

[@thejokerstyle100]

I wish it were a little closer to blitz otherwise I would be in. The bribes, chainsaws, field obstacles turn me off. Is there a way to turn the hazards off?

[@bmac2814]

@@thejokerstyle100 only on offline can you turn them off. Online they have to be there

[@Striker_AgingGamers]

Looks like live action Blood Bowl.. I'm in.

[@Everydaygamer1991]

Me too I loved blitz on ps2

[@bmac2814]

So I'm a died hard football fan. Nfl in particular. And I'm also a die hard Nintendo fan. So you can already see my problem lol but man I learned about this game 2 days ago. I had brushed it off bc I got it confused with bloodbowl. Thinking it was a strategy type football game. Which I don't care for. Then 2 days ago I looked into it and learned it was just like nfl blitz. Which is a game I used to LOVE on the game cube. And I am not dissapointed. It's an arcade American football game. But it is STILL an American football game and on the switch. Which I've been DYING for since it launched.

[@df6148]

Man tell me about it. Once upon a time Nintendo had Madden...now...nothing. I still remember when Madden 64 came out. Revolutionized football games. Been waiting for a switch football game so bad lol.

[@davidgrable668]

I confused it with blood bowl at first also but then I found this and bought it and love it better than madden

[@nealmoore2215]

I just picked this up today because of your review. I love it. Great couch co op game. The announcers are hilarious. Seriously thank you for the heads up. I would have missed this one.

[@TFOFootball]

Want Instant Replay on Switch? Just hold down your Camera button and it will save the last 30 seconds of video ;)

[@treehouse6025]

Thanks so much!

[@feb88shabz]

Did not know that

[@Zeriel00]

Wow Nintendo should make another Mario Strikers!! :O

[@Honoryoursystem]

YES

[@kareemmasri3934]

Congratulations on predicting the future. 😁😁😁😁

[@DerekDomino71]

I loved the Mutant League games on the Genesis, they were some of my favorite sports titles. I saw it was out for the PS4, but have been holding out for a physical release, so I am happy to see it on the Switch. I have been waiting for a review to see how it plays on the Switch, sounds like I need to pick it up now. And I just ordered while you were still talking. Thanks for the review.

[@Twigg4075]

As well as the Switch has sold I'm baffled that EA has only brought FIFA to the Switch. Madden seems like a no-brainer.

[@pauleric5860]

That's because devs have learned Switch owners will buy regurgitated old games dependably; no need for new IP's.

[@Twigg4075]

@@pauleric5860 Umm, sports franchises like Madden. NBA Live and NHL are not new IPs.

[@pauleric5860]

@@Twigg4075 exactly my point. This game is also a retread. It's sad; I love the hardware, but look at the money they're spending, advertising the ten-year old Diablo III.

[@kingtrails5348]

@@pauleric5860 because diablo is a older well known game that is perfect for handheld mode

[@pauleric5860]

@@kingtrails5348 No, it's actually perfect for PC, but played well enough on PS4, which was how I played. I'm not arguing that the Switch can't play it well, or is unsuited for the platform. Really, they should have shelved the mobile and remastered D2 for Switch as an exclusive. This is just economic opportunism for less discriminating gamer-dollars

[@myst4hire1]

Great review man! Your review persuaded me to buy it last night along with all the DLC and I’m really enjoying it! Thanks Again!

[@getcraig55]

Thanks Rgt85 for this review.. I was looking forward for the review from u 😁😁

[@Thye]

Looks great but I need a hockey game!!!

[@LeoJLoera]

I am ordering it right now. I was initially looking for a madden game, but saw that it's not coming to the Switch. then i came across this game, and had a flashback to all the good times my brother and I had playing Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey on the Genesis! I can't wait to play this, especially since there is online, and I can take the local multiplayer to a friend's house. Can't wait!

[@Jesus_Zendejas]

I rather have a sports game like this than like your madden and 2k games

[@sneshead3326]

Why can’t all sports games be like this⚽️🏀🏈🏒💀

[@teknotexan]

Mutant League Football, Eternal Champions and all the Sonics STILL REMAIN games I love TODAY on Genesis! I just got a Switch (my first Nintendo console) this week and today, discovered this game exists on the Switch, with commentary from NBA Jam? C'mon! My inner 90's kid is over the moon!

[@millsjordan30]

Would be nice to have hockey... MUTANT HOCKEY LEAGUE!!!

[@leintati]

Oh man remember winning so many matches by killing off the other team

[@damianrobbs4083]

Already pre-ordered it. Can't wait!

[@VGMobster]

@rgt85 thanks for reviewing arcade sports games! To me they should be so many more on the platform by I love that you always cover them! Let’s get the bigs NBA street and NFL blitz on switch too!

[@timallen7532]

The Bigs is a fun baseball game.

[@jmart0031]

Loved Mutant League Football on the Genesis, i forgot this finally came out today was even at Gamestop to pick up KH The Story So Far and still forget, getting digital now!

[@theGodfollower99]

About to get this one! They just released new DLC teams almost a week ago! This seriously seems like a lot of fun!!

[@OfficialPMDawn]

I LOVE THIS GAME!!! After the disappointment of wwe2k18 this game prevented me from selling my Nintendo Switch

[@grandgojira8182]

This game was one of the switch games I got for the holidays and I haven't tried it yet but it looks right up my alley

[@terracebrown1081]

I want Nintendo to bring back tecmo bowl with updated roster.

[@TheRmm1976]

They can't, because Madden has monopolized the NFLPA license.

[@terracebrown1081]

@@TheRmm1976 not fair

[@seanharrington9584]

Thank you for the review I think I will be picking this up. I hope they follow up with the hockey version!

[@SSJ_Scoot]

This reminds me of NFL Blitz 64 haha I definitely will have to get this game .

[@DannyWangFB]

Thanks for reviewing. Looks like I’ll have to pick this up.

[@kencook6059]

Definitely picking this up. Looks like a lot of fun

[@ultrakwon]

Any 90s kid remember the mutant sport cartoon that used to come on Sunday mornings? Reminds me of that.

[@reggierussell903]

Enjoyed your show just bought a Switch so excited, I love sports games so I'm definitely going to pick up Mutant League Football looks completely insane 🔥🔥👍👍

[@Thefly-vh8tv]

Definitely on my radar. Even though $30 is not a bad price at all, we’re so close to the holiday shopping season that I’m just going to wait and see if I can catch it on sale

[@returnofthemack6295]

Thefly 0810 I think around thanksgiving time they are gonna be having a sale for mutant football league

[@Gamecaster1]

Thanks for the review I'm gonna pick it up now !

[@SNARC15]

I noticed the pauses before big hits as well on both the Steam and Xbox versions, but that was in the original version. I haven't tried out the Dynasty editions yet but will make sure to.

[@benschleicher7337]

I played the original on Genesis and the rerelease on PSP. Looking forward to some Football on the switch.

[@19DrumFreak89]

Is there an online ranking system? Or leaderboards? I've played a few matches online but after the game ends it just takes you back to the main screen. I thought there was at least leaderboards. We need some incentive for playing online

[@rogregg29445]

Just picked it up for nine bucks off the e shop during a sale! So glad because I couldn’t find it anywhere physically. Honestly this game plays better than madden in terms of the actual game it’s not riddled with stupid interceptions or just broken defenses

[@bubblegumcrisis747]

Picked this up cuz it reminded me of Blitz. So far, is great.

[@johnnyclaimerhaddadin195]

Looks really fun! May have to pick this one up soon

[@paydrough]

Never heard of this game. But now I think I'm gonna pick it up :D

"Turns out you CAN do a decent, real time version of a Fantasy Football game, Jim!" "You can indeed, Bob!"

[@EdwardLuiFilms]

I need to get my hands on that hoodie, where was this purchased please? Who’s the model on it?

[@evangellic9027]

I only saw you throw the ball, is running viable? I love running the rock, but in many football games the physics of blocking aren't good enough for running.

[@Chubzdoomer]

Yes, the running game is very strong--especially runs to the outside. You have to be careful not to run the ball too much though, especially if the Karnage (aka damage/violence) level is set too high, because running backs tend to take a beating. However, you can always turn to the bench and substitute players until the injured ones heal back up! :-)

[@retrogameninja3084]

Nice review, I'll be picking it up.

[@Baku1Haku]

I did saw this on the online store. I was on the fence to buying it but this video convinced me

[@monadoboy9670]

Wow, this port looks really good

[@ericcandelario392]

The genesis version was one of my all time favorite games period. Didnt know this even existed on next gen. Im in!

[@ntdosplat3130]

Having both this and Blood Bowl 3 on Switch (when it releases sometime during spring/summer) will really scratch that fantasy-themed football itch

[@RuddsReels]

I'm still expecting his Sabu box in the top left corner of the screen to fall down during one of his videos! lol! Hey RGT 85! Hey Shawn move that box back!!!

[@shortyorc121]

I backed this game. I love it have it for the pc. I may buy it on the switch for a physical copy

[@InfinityReptar]

I'm enjoying the game so far. Wondering if there will be online ranked at some point? 🤔

[@BZMonster]

Very thorough review! Sold

[@treble1200]

More importantly, where did you get that awesome sweater? I want it.

[@Nemenon]

NFL Blitz 2000 is my favorite game on the N64 despite not being a fan of sports games, so I may have to check this out. Looks almost exactly like it, except with some silly features that seem pretty fun. Plus they're all monsters instead of people, so that is an upside.

[@chadcowman6293]

Hey so how's this run on the switch?

[@sinner13halloweenfiend76]

Njce thanks rgt 85 im going to get this now thanks for the review I'll probably get it for both PS4 and the switch

[@claytonmiller3754]

Dude MFL is a ton of fun. Blitz meets zombie take over. Rgt85 great review picked up a copy. And. Yes I'd love to see a few more sports games on the switch. But this definitely a lot of fun!!!

[@Shinobi33]

Is it as good graphically as the PS4 and xbox versions?

[@chrisi27]

I’m a huge arcade guy with sports games. I honestly wanted Nintendo to bring back Mario-Strikers which I loved on the GameCube but this NES bring back will suffice. I’m downloading it and super pumped to play!

[@richjames998]

Always loved mutant games. The blitz franchise and like the jordan fire ice basketball.

[@TheRavenwolf666]

The Mutant Football League looks great but I thought there would be teams like Slayers, Screaming Evil and a football player name Bones back in the early 90’s when it used to be on nbc if anyone remembers that.

[@returnofthemack6295]

James Forero they couldn’t used the same names from the original game from the 90s as ea has the rights of the names as ea was apart of the original game

[@AZ23MJ]

Did I see a team "Mile High Chronic"? lol

[@shutitdown9829]

AZ23MJ yeah, it’s the Broncos. They have an exclusive dirty play called “Strawberry Fields” that causes your opponents screen to get hazy and flip their controls like they are buzzed out of their minds

[@AZ23MJ]

@@shutitdown9829 Haha nice. Figured it was Denver. Sounds like a fun game though.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

AZ23MJ There’s now the two Los Angeles teams (Los Scandalous Damned/Rams, Los Scandalous Volts/Chargers) and their stadiums are pretty tight. Los Scandalous Shake and Bake Arena is such a damn good name.

[@CompleteProducer84]

It’s crazy, I think around 70% of people say orientated. It boggles my mind how they don’t know it’s not a real word

[@darthboxOriginal]

Totally agree! This and "addicting" when we have a perfectly serviceable "addictive" drive me nuts!!!

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

I am sexually orientating myself as celibate yesterday...

[@TedMotcheckIII]

Orientate is standard in British English, you orientate something when you point it in a particular direction, hence orientated. In American English, you orient something, hence oriented.

[@philipdandridge4127]

Big fan on the genesis I cant wait to grab a copy for switch!!

[@stevenarias7134]

Closest thing to blitz/NFL street. I'm in. Never even heard of it.

[@cjm6894]

I love this game. Only thing is I also own it on ps4 and the ps4 version gives you more teams ie on ps4 you can play as purple mutant eaters but I didn’t see that team in switch version. what’s up with that.

[@wilturner6759]

They just need to make an NFL Blitz 2023 or something, absolutely nothing beats the gameplay of the last NFL Blitz 20-03... this game seems fun but a bit tooooo extra

[@sinner13halloweenfiend76]

I used to luv the og one. Back in da days lol

[@HeartReeves]

Still thinking about buying it I'm not a sports game fan but I would like to be a something fantasy and on my favorite console might sway me yet though the next couple months are already hurting my switch budget so who knows

[@AGLoonatik]

yeah this looks pretty decent. i ll give it a shot. Thanks RGT for the review

[@garrettchandler1948]

Is online play only with ransoms? Me and my friend can’t set up a match together. Maybe I’m overlooking an option. Anyone else have this issue?

[@TheRmm1976]

Is it possible to rename players?

[@davidagiel8130]

I want UFC, then I’m set. Or another Fight Night, but I ain’t holding my breath.

[@mattmurphy2755]

Yeah, definitely. I signed a petition with other fans to get them to port UFC, no dice yet

[@CossetteJeremy]

I'd rather fight night... The final boss is always Canelo (whatever weight classes) and he starts with 8 winning round on the judges card right from the start. KO or Lose 😂 #DeLaHoyaDLC

[@ChrisCaras]

How does this compare to blood bowl 2?

[@JAS0N_M00RE]

I wish Blitz The League 1 and 2 would come to the Switch but sadly Midway Games isn't around anymore to have the game to come over to the switch because they could have panic button bring it in to over. Even if the game was $20-$40 I would buy them or at least one of them

[@LatteD1Mandor1a]

Still really wish there was an NHL game on switch

[@rabbidcrazy787]

If only EA would release NHL 20 on switch but sadly they didn't thus requiring NHL fans to buy a ps4 or xbox one
