Why won EA Sports....

Revive Road Rash and refire a Mutant League series of games? A new, updated Road Rash game would be awesome. I still remember all the fun I had with the original game way back in the day on the Genesis.

Then the Mutant League Football and Hockey games were both very fun IMO. They could even do a Mutant League Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Racing, etc. With today's updated graphics and the things they could do with all of these games I can't see why EA won't give them a go.

Anyone else agree?

yeah those were awesome, I would like to see the ps3 version of it.

Other than possibly not a huge interest in it, I would say economics play a big part in it. With the way money is right now, I wouldnt see many chances being taken as far as game production.

There is nothing in this world more satisfying than pulling your newly upgraded motorcycle up next to an opponent's, and hearing that beautiful "clonk" as your baseball bat connects with his skull, and he wobbles off his bike like a rose petal in the wind-- only to roll and slide on the asphalt.

Ya, I would love to see a return of Road Rash.

I loved Road Rash when I was younger.. Would defintely be a good game to bring back

Ugh, Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey. MLF would be a perfect game to bring over to this generation.

Bribe the ref or just kill him?! Wire the football for death and let the other team intercept it!

I loved killing so many of the other team's players that they had to forfeit the rest of the game. Especially when it was against the Sixty Whiners.

Or how about Breakdowns?! How many points were they worth?

Just so you know, you can play some of these games on PSP. EA Replay volume 1 has Mutant League Football, Road Rash I ~ III, B.O.B., Budokan: The Martial Spirit, Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf, Haunting Starring Polterguy, Jungle Strike, Syndicate, Ultima: The Black Gate, Virtual Pinball, Wing Commander, and Wing Commander: The Secret Missions.

Of course you can always emulate those games anyway, but MLF has online play on the PSP too.

Edit: Gonna throw in some screenshots for the fun of it!

The skeletons were funny when they laughed.

I remember scoring touchdowns and that girl's...footballs.... bouncing.
