Get to know the people who make great videogames

[Update: Show’s over folks! We’ll have the rerun up later in the week. Here’s the latestSportsballstrategy profile in the meantime.]

The newSmash Bros.is fantastic, but it’s not the only 4-player arena-based competitive combat game on the Wii U right now. There’s alsoSportsball, one of Nintendo’s “Nindies”, a cross betweenBaraBariBall(Sportsfriends) andJoust.While I can’t recommend it as a single player experience (yet), I can wholeheartedly endorse it with 3 or more players. If you’re looking to take a quick break from hitting your friends so hard that they explode, you could do worse that riding a giant peacock and dunking on them instead.
