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 latest Sportsball strategy profile in the meantime.]
The new Smash Bros. is fantastic, but it’s not the only 4-player arena-based competitive combat game on the Wii U right now. There’s also Sportsball, one of Nintendo’s “Nindies”, a cross between BaraBariBall (Sportsfriends) and Joust. 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.
Today on Sup Holmes we’re going live with Auston Montville of Too DX, creators of Sportsball. We’ll be talking about the game’s Smash Bros. influence, what it’s been like working with Nintendo, the struggles of independent development, and a lot more. We’ll also be giving away codes for Sportsball and for Sunburn, the delightful outer space, suicide-by-sunfire game for iOS from former Sup Holmes guests. Tune in at 4pm EST for all of the fun. All of it.
