Top 10 Fictional Sports in Video Games

[@TheMegaMarv]

Lol, there are actual people who think the anime of pokemon came out first?

[@sharilshahed6106]

+Bowser Jr. I thought so for a while, then I got the internet in my hand.

[@AJ-kj1go]

I also thought, for a decade, that people who played pokemon were mainly talking about the card game

[@JDizzle_98]

+Bowser Jr. Well in the US the anime did come out before the games.

[@MonkeyDLuffy60073]

+Nintendoman1998 Who gives a damn..? We are talking about the world

[@JDizzle_98]

Monkey D Luffy This is actually the reason why some people say the Anime came out first. Because they are people from the US who don't know.

[@SpaceboundUniverse]

Very interesting! Who else would want to play these in real life?

[@elitebelt]

Blitzball calling it for number 1 that was the best. I wish it was an actual sport.

[@elitebelt]

The last 2 sports are HARDLY sports, especially Pokemon. You idiots just said you wouldn't be doing racing games, and Thats EXACTLY what that game is. And Pokemon is no more a sport as horse races. Your player isn't doing anything physical aside from cheering your Pokemon on and telling them what to do, an ESPORT has more physical work than that. Last, Bloodbowl wasn't nearly as fun as blitzball, and I played their last game. Even Grifball could have beaten that one.

[@SuperUnhappyman]

+elitebelt i know i love pokemon but blitzball as an entire sport subgame within ff10 they could have made an blitzball game on its own and it would be awesome!

[@mophubsi6888]

+elitebelt it is a real sport in germany

[@SFXENT]

+SuperUnhappyman I'd buy a blitz ball stand alone game no question come square Enix get on it

[@kdsavage1991]

+elitebelt wow, you got angry real quick

[@jojag5]

Calling Rocket League as #1 for sure.

[@tawdd7932]

Rocket league is shit

[@jojag5]

+Jools is 2kool Spoken like someone who can't do aerials.

[@sainsburyschocolatechipcoo5275]

shots fired.

[@tawdd7932]

+jojag5 I don't want to play it, it's so bad

[@jojag5]

Jools is 2kool Don't play it then. Less noobs to get matched up with.

[@aaronrobertson3297]

Thought Grifball would've been higher :-( Maybe if this video was made 8 years ago it would

[@mrdiegop8]

I also was waiting for Griffball

[@Tilairgan]

+Diego Gutíerrez GRIF******

[@mrdiegop8]

+Tilairgan GGGGGGGRRRRRRRIIIIIIIFFFFFFF Ball

[@Tilairgan]

+Diego Gutíerrez GGGGGGGRRRRRRIIIIFFFFFFF

[@mrdiegop8]

+Tilairgan :D

[@immortalweapon]

I'm glad blitzball got a mention, and surprised it ranked so high. It is just a numbers game, but it can be pretty fun/ stressful, depending on how good you are.

[@lucasreveillat6255]

My favorite sport is the blitzbaĺ

[@blade8800]

yes

[@killuminatoV01]

blitzball sucks ass bruddah.

[@Solus1994]

+monster hunter 2015 blitBall is the best you newbi

[@killuminatoV01]

God I hate blitzball so much.

[@ThePirateprincess23]

Blitzball was the first thing that came into my mind when I saw this list.

[@Pduczkowski]

Deathrow was so much fun glad to see it on the list.

[@TheNameJohnny]

love the video dude! keep it up with the great videos!

[@AJ-kj1go]

Every time you call football soccer a fifa-bro dies and an angel gets it wings.

[@KyrosTheWolf]

That's cause Watchmojo are american...canadian...whatever, same thing

[@addisonworley7931]

+Kyros Vulk-Oliver Your reasoning made sense until you said being American and Canadian is the same thing.

[@KyrosTheWolf]

Addison Worley I'm guessing you're offended/salty/toxic/PCMR because you're one of them?

[@addisonworley7931]

I am american, but i am not offended in the slightest. It is just by the literal definition, Americans are from america and Canadians are from Canada. That are not the same.

[@addisonworley7931]

+Kyros Vulk-Oliver I am american, but i am not offended in the slightest. It is just by the literal definition, Americans are from america and Canadians are from Canada. That are not the same.

[@Arausito]

BLEETZBALL, BRUDAH

[@michaelmaxwell4825]

what about saints rows "super reality climax"

[@chrishale7480]

Pokémon battling would probably be the only sport I'd be half-way decent at.

[@CaseyChronicle]

YOOOO this vid was GREAT keep em coming!:)

[@Tyro633]

"added variety" in rocket league? The game is so monotonous, its always the same. They don't even have something like different shaped arenas, it's always just reskins.

[@SimonHill94]

Yeah the one on ps3 had much better and diverse arena's

[@TheDuckClock]

+BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm Actually they do now, that post Apocolypic arena has curved sides, and there's also the Snow day mode where the Ball is replaced with a hockey puck.

[@jopodevine]

+BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm But they do have differently shaped arenas as well as other options to change the game completely... Do you even have the game?

[@robmacdow]

Blast Chamber didn't look like much but it was a lot of fun, especially on the higher difficulties, when you die you explode and can' take out any your opponents standing near you

[@PalZer0]

I'm surprised the Unreal Tournament games as a whole weren't on the list seeing as how those games are styled as sports in their own right.

[@misterlobsterman]

Blood Bowl was a tabletop game first so if quidditch doesn't count because it was conceived for a book this shouldn't either.

[@ZeacorZeppelin]

cars, explosions, and soccer, what more can you ask for?

[@IgnorantGamerz]

this list was created just for #1 smh. ALso, MARIO? No Mutant League Football/Hockey?

[@TheMDXtremeReal]

Bowling from GTA 4

[@novinka19]

+TheMDXtreme you know that bowling is a real thing in our world?

[@KyrosTheWolf]

I know right? I wish bowling was a real sport...

[@TheMDXtremeReal]

Noir Wolf you don't get the joke do you?

[@novinka19]

TheMDXtreme i can't detect the joke from your main comment since there isn't a hint of it being sarcastic or anything remotely close to it, pls explain

[@TheMDXtremeReal]

Noir Wolf " Niko its Roman..Lets go bowling" This infamous line from GTA 4 was the joke

[@tomparham1768]

Game developers didn't come up with the idea, they blatantly got the idea from an episode of top gear years ago where they blamed football in cars

[@jayyyymorris]

Another good one is Split Second. A reality TV brutal racing game. Extreme fun!!

[@HALOGUNNYSGT]

I'm just happy Grifball is part of the list.

[@danieltowner4886]

I'm glad that Speedball was an honorable mention. But I have two more entries for you. Sega Genesis & arcade, "Pigskin Footbrawl". Xbox 360 has a driving game that incorporates some ideas from other games. "Blood Drive" is a futuristic death race using armed vehicles & running down zombies for the crowd to cheer.

[@SnaDyl]

maaaaaan I was disappointed that they excluded quiddich from the list, that shit was fun as hell

[@Leto85]

Well, Pokemon is about to come out on mobile platforms in the form of an application which requires us players to go out and catch 'm all somewhere this year, isn't it? I am looking forward to that game.

[@martinkullberg6718]

Now it's on Goh-ing ! 😆

[@eythor19]

Wait, Blood Bowl was a tabletop game first back in '87 before it was a video game. Wouldn't that disqualify it from the list?

[@nunoenglish2893]

Pokemon battles can´t be consider as a sport since the trainer just speaks and does nothing !!!!

[@thelastrellikx9503]

coaches....

[@greppim911]

I wouldnt even practice these sports

[@epsytheone4212]

Blitzball was actually a game of numbers and Not using the ai to move your character. I remember Running in with OP Tidus and just getting all the goals, while the other characters suffered. then defend the rest of the game

[@TrashCanSensei]

Finally. Deathrow is on a list.

[@Tribal_Soldier]

An old comment but. HELL YEAH!

[@xlXOsPrEyXlx]

im so happy Mario Strikers Charged was at least an honorable mention. That game is so fun.

[@BoondockRoberts]

That first time you finally beat the Luca Goers

[@EpicMarioBros]

#10 ....Thank you. XD Wish it were higher though.

[@Noirlore]

Pokemon stadium mini games >>>>>>>

[@silvaduxx170]

+damcs haha fucking weeaboo your a joke

[@OMFGITZEDWIN]

+damcs get the fuck out the internet

[@Noirlore]

Thanks for taking him down guys

[@thelastrellikx9503]

bruhh

[@thatsHokage]

One time my mother called me a son of a bitch, so I hit her because no one talks trash about my mother, then I hit myself because no one hits my mother, she then hit me because no one hits her son and then hit herself because no one hits me, so I hit her because no one hits my mother.

[@thatsHokage]

+Tim Dev (Dude. Sweet.) based on a true story

[@JaelaOrdo]

Lol first thing I thought when I clicked on the video was, "they better have grifball, if they don't then it must be the work of those damn blues....."

[@BunBun299]

I have no idea just how many hours of my life I sank into Blitzball, just to unlock Wakka's ultimate weapon. I just know it was a lot.

[@MMOGood2Go]

I put so many hours into blitzball. I didn't even finish the game.

[@Solt-sd3km]

Who was hoping they would count deathmatch?

[@akumuryuu]

What about RoboCraft? I think it counts as a sport pretty much, depending on the game mode. And how about NetNavi battles from Megaman Battle Network?

[@RDeathmark]

pretty sure blitzball is largely based off handball actually, only more rough/hands on intensive.

[@CryWolfFilms]

I have over 200 hours of gameplay in Blitzball... No regrets.

[@adamstucke2858]

I thought splatoon would make an appearance on here.... but since it doesn't have gritty graphics and is modeled more "childish" I wouldn't expect WatchMojo to have included it

[@seannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

No turf wars from splatoon?

[@ArsisKytori]

For the #1 pick, "Simpsons did it."

[@112523]

bombing run with 200% game speed in ut2003 was the fucking best!

[@Jemar_Deshun_Blount-Golden]

Pokkén Tournament should've too been honorable mentions.

[@dx62192]

There were times i turned on my ps2 just to play blitzball. It was amazing. It had stat tracking, contracts, rpg skills, and seasons. It was basically Final Fantasy 2k.

[@nicholasseaks95]

I'm surprised Spleef wasn't mentioned at least.

[@ItzSandman]

Man i spent HOURS playing blitzball alone, practically better than Final Fantasy X itself

[@LenoresW]

Next, top 10 mini games in games like the card game in Final Fantasy 8!!

[@DrViperVideos]

Monday Night Combat!!! How could you not put it on the list!!?

[@larreization]

Blood Bowl came as a tabletopgame first before it gets a videogame adaption...

[@s.m.a4616]

Blitzball is fun once you have the right people to kick butt with

[@marclafrance3816]

If you put in halo custom games as individual sports they would single handedly take the top 10. On that note, you should do a custom games top 10

[@Nesessary301]

Love the thumbnail image for this video.

[@spongebobfan78]

How about Gravity Ball from Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity? Does any remember that? I thought so too...

[@KiddBuu_]

I remember it.

[@spongebobfan78]

Inuachi Scoring one is hard as hell, unless you are playing with friends.

[@RevonMercer]

+spongebobfan78 Or... Extreme Gear in general? I'd sell half my possessions for a fully-functional Extreme Gear.

[@spongebobfan78]

Revon Mercer With hover boards existing, I think it will be a reality.

[@RevonMercer]

spongebobfan78 I mean real hover boards, though.

[@techjet3910]

No Chocobo Racing from FFVII? What kind of list is this?

[@azharfaturohman4940]

yea, chocobo racing should be on the list.

[@TheRingoism]

The commentators reaction and crowd atmosphere is nothing compared to Sergio Aqueous goal in the last few seconds to win the EPL and I'm not even an Man City fan.

[@kingtreybo5881]

Am I the only one who remembers Dead Ball Zone? Loved that game, and not even an honorable mention...

[@fehr2409]

Little Big Planet Basket ball was fun :D

[@greendog5549]

Oh man, I thought I'll see Thrashball, but it's not "playable" in Gears of War

[@soundlessbird9181]

Since thrashball itself didn't violent enough. official publication (novels, comics) even mentioned some rough play will be treated as criminal offence and sent to COG justice department.

[@sandimys3261]

FFX Blitzball is why I didn't beat the game on my first play through, a hundred hours playing it and I forgot what I was supposed to be doing

[@captainbozo01]

Number 6 is essentially a bad version of Pass Time from TF2.

[@skynet091287]

I thought Armax Arsenal Arena From the Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC was awesome! if you find the challenges a bit too easy, how about having no ammo pickups in the arena against the toughest enemies, while your shield can only take a single hit?

[@raptoryoshi9144]

The fact Mario Football isnt even in this list is only healed by rocket league being number one

[@Werequaza86]

Im pretty happy Twisted Metal ended up on the list

[@DragonKazooie89]

Needs Yooyuball (Neopets), Chao Race and Karate (Sonic Advenute 1 and 2), and Mayahem Kickball (Banjo-Tooie)

[@AToriginal]

No one comparing blitzball to captain tsubasa games? They´re pretty much alike.

[@dksoulstice6040]

WatchMojo come on guys, how can you forget about Albion's favorite pastime, good ol Chicken Kicking?

[@nickmorey9070]

Not really sure why rocket league is being bummed so hard for being so original when street racer did vehicular football with weapons on the SNES

[@robinson52d]

nobody thought pokemon was a tv show first

[@Igorcastrochucre]

What about the Dream sports in the Mario & Sonic Olympics series? They're infinitely more interesting than the sport they represent.

[@sffc95]

Rocket League wasn't the first one. I remember a 2003-06 game called Road Trip Adventure who had this. I mean, evidently not as polished with all those features, but the same idea. Cars, Soccer, Giant Ball.

[@inspirationmediatube]

All the football style games and not a mention of Pigskin 621 AD?

[@stickmasterninja28]

You forgot Super Monday Night Combat.

[@mr.orange9796]

I'm kinda sad that Super Monday Night Combat wasn't even mentioned

[@bryantwilliams5096]

Deathrow was my favorite game on xbox

[@TOKYO_SLIME]

Grand Wizard Wakka and his Blitzball have infiltrated watchmojo

[@PowerCookie1]

Blitzball is easy to understand and easy to play and win if you get jecht shot before reaching luca on the boat.

[@weirdheriawan]

Pokemon is an RPG battle game... If you want to include the franchise, the Pokemon Triathlon is the one should be here...

[@zorochii]

I'm pretty sure that the Rocket cars football is based in a robotics competition where a team must build a robot team capable of playing soccer against other robot teams. The RoboCup. They were wheeled before, but it seems new editions have humanoid walking robots.

[@Berkaelzar]

How come did Unreal Tournament draw inspiration from Halo if it came a year earlier ?

[@MasterDubik]

Awww, no Quidditch?.... actually that's ok, i can play it in real life!

[@macdareaper]

Am i the only one who thinks Pokemon is essentially animal capturing and making them fight for sport?

[@fonzojd6013]

is hyperblade not just a mock version of Rollerball?

[@animechic420]

Blitzball looks fun as hell.

[@Relicanth]

Blitzball was that awkward part of FFX that you just couldn't wait to end and get over with. Not a single one of my friends liked that part, or played it for any reason aside from winning Wakka's Celestial Weapon.

[@thelastrellikx9503]

it was the complete opposite for me and my peeps lol

[@Wasabio]

I'm still dreaming for a full Blitzball game ç_ç

[@dasBuddiwurst]

It isn't completely right that Car Soccer is a fictional sport. In germany we have a fun event called "Autoball" since more than five years. For examples just search for it (I don't know how to make a link in here).

[@lorddoski6912]

Is Jak and Daxter Combat Racing a sport? Cause if it is then I would love it, if it was on this list.

[@TomyIneXtriCable]

Am I the only one that heard "for more adrenaline-filled top 10s published every Gay?"

[@izzy4752]

i wanna see the top 10 celebrity death matches!!

[@ataruDev]

What about turf wars from splatoon?

[@HeroH1914]

If Mario Strikers qualified for this list as an honorable mention, then the arcade game Pigskin and the forgotten sports gaming gem Mutant League Football should have made the list. (I wish EA would bring back MLF)

[@ImMaxi]

No (honourable) mention of Star Wars: The Old Republic's Huttball?

[@Prolific_Hands]

the hockey level in Spyro ? and what about Tekken Bowl?

[@NielsenGarab]

#3 Blood Bowl (1995-2009) There is a new game, Blood Bowl 2, out now, so 2009 is a bit misleading. Good list!
