7 Most WTF Sports Games That Improve on Actual Sports

to many people regular sports games are weird i find it helps if you imagine the ball has done something wrong and it's the job of all the players to punish it however there are sports games out there that are so wild odd and bizarre that they make sensible soccer look sensible here are seven of our favorites enjoy [Music] if you enjoy watching athletics events but hate the sense of inferiority instilled by the competitors with their olympian physiques and superhuman speed and strength then quop is the game for you in coop you play as kwop an athlete taking part in the 100 meter dash at the olympic games i say dash it's really more of a 100 meter collapse because kwop is one of the hardest games ever made that's due to its control system which is to put it kindly idiosyncratic and to put it unkindly a total bloody nightmare using the qwo and p keys of the title you control the runner's thighs and calves in a way that i think i understand but which this footage of me dropping into a full splits and then vibrating on the floor proves i absolutely do not the goal of co-op is to run the full 100 meters to the end of the race a ludicrous concept when most people can't go more than a couple of meters before face planting onto the track or in some cases actually going backwards giving you a score in the negative meters what's the 100 meters world record again 9.58 seconds okay i've got a lot of practice to do behold the kickman is a football game designed by dan marshall a video game developer and self-proclaimed person who knows nothing about football doesn't like football and who created the game as a joke that quickly spiraled out of control into an actually quite complex sports game that's now available to buy on steam and nintendo switch [Music] at first glance it might look like a regular top down soccer game but there are subtle clues that behold the kickman doesn't have quite the reverence for the sport that other football games do these include the pitch being circular and having a laser grid to stop the ball going out of play there being nine players on each side the referee being called an umpire and the fact that when you score he gives you a kiss there's also a story mode with multiple dialogue choices in which your character tries to get to the bottom of the mysterious death of his father by getting into arguments with among other people players from brazil united [Music] and if you don't like football or do and don't like it being disparaged don't worry there is an i hate football button on the title screen that when you click it it reskins the game into a dystopian future bloodsport so you don't have to look at things like corner flags and turf much better [Music] released in 1993 for the sega mega drive mutant league football like its counterpart mutant league hockey takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where people have finally realized that what sports fans actually want to see is loads and loads of deadly violence the teams are made up of skeletons aliens robots and trolls and the pitchers are covered in land fire pits and massive holes that half the team could fall into if they're not careful and players can be killed if they take too much punishment although there will be a penalty for the other team five yards that'll be some comfort to the widow if that's too much hassle though why not just put a bomb in the ball or bribe the referee to make bogus calls in your favor good news for your team less good news for the ref who is now going to be immediately killed by your opponents still i'm sure there'll be a suitable punishment to discourage this kind of play right sorry i forgot [Music] golf is at its heart a very solemn serious game played by very solemn serious people something that the totally ridiculous what the golf is out to change first appearances are deceiving as what the golf starts out as a relatively straightforward golf game level three however you're launching the golfer down the course instead of the ball and subsequent levels have you hitting a house over some cars participating in extremely meta golf jokes and undertaking assassination missions available for pc ios and switch what the golf is an endlessly inventive game about pretty much everything except golf full of parodies of other games and relentless silliness [Music] plus a toaster that hates golf don't see that in pga tour 2k21 hello fellow human i am bill and i also am named bill do you yearn like me bill to play basketball in the most regular possible way of course i do kill as the title suggests regular human basketball seems like it's just a regular basketball game about regular humans playing basketball regularly nothing excites extremely tall humans like attempting to place a spheroid inside the allocated basket on closer inspection however it soon becomes apparent that these regular humans are in fact giant bipedal mechs armed with jet packs who can use thrusters all terrain wheels and a flailing magnet arm to let me check my notes here dunk some sick hoops sounds right those days it bounces around and falls down metro city wins the mechs themselves are controlled by little people inside them who have to run around the interior of the robot hitting switches to control its limbs and move them around in ways that will cause basketball to happen you can play solo but it's best with a team as you and your friends try to pacific rim these giant unwieldy mechs into something resembling a competent basketball player i am becoming excited due to this skillful ball it's obviously extremely hard but that's what makes it so funny is your various basketball mechs flail around on the floor oblivious to the total chaos going on inside them fairly sure this doesn't happen in regular basketball although i would need x-rays of the players to be sure i clearly understand and enjoy this event of dunking build like all us humans do [Music] 2012's diabolical pitch from grasshopper manufacturer the team behind no more heroes and lollipop chainsaw is a baseball game that isn't really interested in baseball instead it feels rather like grasshopper was hired to make a baseball game and then just made the monster fighting game they wanted to make only with a light baseball theming to honor the contract [Applause] in diabolical pitch you play as a famous baseball player who has injured his arm after a car accident you wake up in some kind of carnival slash hellscape and are offered a new magic arm which you have to use to kill theme park mascots by throwing baseballs at them two seconds ago i couldn't move miami an inch and now it's moving again well we hope you enjoy your time here at queen christine's dreamland today wait a second what's going on here we wouldn't want you to go home just yet you can also unlock extra powerful pitches by filling your special meter and a ghostly catcher who will dive in to protect you from harm if needed the only problem with diabolical pitch is that it came out for the xbox kinect sensor meaning that if you wanted to play it you had to actually stand up and use your arms to pitch balls like you would in real life [Music] which if you ask me defeats the point of sports games if i actually wanted to get up and move around i'd go and play real baseball diabolical pitch plus i'd have a much lower chance of an elephant killing me with a sledgehammer to the casual observer the games in the japan world cup series look like pretty standard horse racing games take a closer look however and it quickly becomes apparent that something weird is going on your first clue might be that some of those horses aren't actually horses the second clue is probably the way the race is full of dancing jockeys and horses and people in bikinis and horse costumes that have come apart but the people inside are still gamely trying to finish the race the idea of the game is that players place bets on the randomly generated outcome of races between these horse adjacent competitors although i'm not 100 sure how you're supposed to make any kind of informed bet about who would win between a man riding a panda and whatever the hell this thing is [Music] obviously japan world cup is amazing and 1 000 times more entertaining than actual horse racing so let this serve as an official petition to have all steeplechase events replaced with this in future please horse people thanks in advance so there you go those were seven of the weirdest sports games of all time did we miss your favorite drop your suggestion in the
