Sports are weird to begin with; thousands of people cheering because the ball moved somewhere it was supposed to? And that's before video game developers got their hands on the genre. Now with the likes of Ribbit King, Deathrow, Blood Bowl and Pigskin 621 A.D., you too can enjoy sports from the comfort of your living room and be even more weirded out by then than people who play sports for real. Here are ten of the weirdest sports video games ever made!

Thank you for this video!!! I had Ribbit King when I was a kid and I've never been able to remember the name or enough about it to find it again.

I loved Mutant League Hockey on the Genesis. As far as I know it’s the only hockey game where you can win the match by killing enough of the opposing team causing them to forfeit.

@michaelgariti8008 3 года назад

Deathrow is easily my favorite XBox game ever. It’s kind of like Frisbee, but to score you have to throw the disc through a goal. You can also win by killing all of the opposing team’s players. When I get a Series X, it’ll definitely be an old-school game I look for. Dodgeball was also a great game for NES and SNES. The game played as you’d expect, except that each player had a special throw or two.

When you were describing Diabolical Pitch, I was thinking "WTF is this game?!" But as soon as you mentioned that the developer was Grasshopper Manufacture, I was like "Of course, only Suda 51 would come up with such an insane premise for a game." In case you don't know who Suda51 is, he's the owner of Grasshopper Manufacture, a company that produced games like No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer 7, Killer is Dead, Let it Die, and Shadows Of The Damned, which are some of the weirdest games ever made.

Base Wars is, no joke, one of my favorite NES games. Found it randomly as a kid and played hours upon hours of it with my brother. Excellent stuff.

@thespyderwithin Год назад

Best part was quick tapping A as the pitcher instead of charging and then piloting the ball in corkscrews. My brother got real upset when I figured that out. Like when I figured out not moving the back row in checkers guarantees a win! Lolz

@andrealves3104 2 года назад

Well, gotta say I've played a hell of a lot Super Baseball 2020 circa 2003, when I got to emulate and experience tons of Neo Geo games. Was'nt expeting it to be featured on this list, but the script sure got it right: What a tough game that is! Never got to fully understand it, even tho i had lots of fun playing. lol

@frankbrodie5168 Год назад

Yeah, I scrolled down to read the comments before I was going to post this exact same comment pretty much. Just to check no one else had said it. And you had. lol Though I played it well before 2003 originally. Probably around it's time of release on the Neo Geo console. Because my mate actually owned one. But I got most fun out of it like you when emulating it on PC. Save states made it VERY playable.

Were we Canadians the only people who loved the NHL Hitz games!? They may not be the weirdest of all sports games (though you could play hockey on the moon, in Ancient Rome and on pirate ships, and some of the custom head options included horse, cow, rat, lizard snowman and giant baby heads) it was, and is a blast. The hits and fights were extreme and winning a face off by punching your opponent in the face (unless he ducked) was always fun. I lost interest in sports games in 2004, but some of my friends and I still play NHL Hitz 2003 to this day ♥️

@deadeyeminis 3 года назад

What a lovely sports time that was. Probably a symptom of watching too many MiniWarGaming videos/batreps, but even though I was only half watching the screen at the time, I instantly recognised the Blood Bowl live action part, and that it was MWG Matt's arm in shot. Now just need BB3 to release on Steam!

@packers12to80 3 года назад

It's not really that weird tho.. but is that any good? Thought about getting it on the switch

@RyuzakiTaiyou 3 года назад

@@packers12to80 I love the series. The games and the anime. It's the type of game you're not only playing for the gameplay, but also for how ridiculous the whole concept is. They have 2 seasons/games about aliens and one about time travel. Btw, every season of the anime has it's own game. They come in two versions similar to pokemon (with some exceptions). Also every new game has new gimmicks. If you like those gimmicks or not is up to you. So if you want to try out the series I would recommend to start with the first one. Least amount of gimmicks and least amount of players to collect, least confusing titel for newcomers.

@nellitheretrogamer8666 2 года назад

I'm not sure if I'm glad or sad that you didn't include BMX Ninja from 1988. Then again, I'm not sure if the game really was about BMXs or Ninjas. The developers didn't seem to know either, their main idea apparently being that they wanted the words "BMX" and "Ninja" in the title. The game has scored 1.8 out of ten at Lemon64, making it a serious contender for the worst 8-bit computer game of all time.
