If the golf game has a decent RPG/adventure mode, it's an auto-buy for me.
I'd probably try out the soccer game too, if people said it's great.

Which Mario sports game do you want to see next?
- Thread starter Mass Effect
- Start date
I'm into these games for the art, animations, character representation and random dialogue we don't get on the mainline, so bring me more like these two.
The next one we are getting is Mario and Sonic, though. I love how they are bringing new clothes for these titles ever since Mario Tennis Aces came out. Hopefully it'll have music as good as Rio.
I was just photoshopping up a picture of this idea. A Mario/ Nintendo skateboarding game that has the platforming and exploration of the original Tony Hawk games and Jet Set Radio-
The issue is that the one game that is good in the Mario Sports series, Golf, isn't on the level of Everybody's Golf in terms of arcade sports games.
Strikers could be okay, but Charged was a mediocre game. Next Level should steal judiciously from SEGA Soccer Slam if they do another one.
Looking at the market, Hockey and American Football badly need arcade sports entries, so one of those would be nice. Basketball could be good too, as Playgrounds doesn't quite scratch my itch for arcade basketball. Baseball would be fine, but I'd rather get a Super Mega Baseball 2 Switch port, tbh.

I think I'd be ok if I never saw another Mario Sports game and Nintendo shook it up in a different way if they were gonna tackle sports again.
That said, that Mario Volleyball game Nintendo deemed too violent to finish because of the wrestling elements would be cool to see brought back.

Very hard pick between Strikers and Baseball since we've not had actual entries since Wii. But Baseball won for me. I've adored both entries and really want to see Bandai Namco and Now Pro make a 3rd finally on Switch. Mario Golf is inevitable but I want to see more variety again. I never want to see any compilation games like Sports Mix and Superstars ever again since you only get bite-sized versions of the sports and they feel... disjointed?
Just pick a damn sport and go all the fuck out! :P

Mario Golf for Switch. I'd say it's likely coming soon, but Camelot still seems focused on cranking out free DLC for Tennis Aces, so who knows if they've actually made any progress on their next full project yet.
This is never ever going to happen, but in a similar vein as Camelot's Tennis and Golf RPGs, a Mario Baseball game with a "success mode" life sim RPG/character creator akin to MLB Power Pros would be my ideal Mario Sports game.

Really? I thought it was a downgrade mechanically? Maybe I have been lied to.
Worth playing?
With the Lacrosse option
I'm not sure if there's some nitty-gritty stuff I didn't notice, but as far as I could tell it has every mechanic from the original and some additional stuff. Some of the additional stuff is kind of meh and doesn't work that well with the "classic" sideways wii remote controls, like being able to throw traps on the field as the ball is flying, but otherwise it's polished in some noticeable ways side-by-side. I assume most people who trash it might not even know you can turn off the motion controls, and the sideways remote controls are pretty cramped, but all the mechanics are there. There's some minor QoL stuff like you can turn on a batting reticle in the settings and it helps a lot for casual play without dumbing it down with motion imo, along with the better multiplayer.
Either way, anything worse about it would be pretty subtle once you turn off the motion controls.
I want this remastered. Probably my favorite sports game ever.
Gameplay was flawless and the soundtrack great
My Man. That game was amazing.
Loved the FF character cameos.
I'd love a Mario Hockey game. I think there's so much potential for Nintendo to make it super fun, and with such a large cast of characters, you could build a very diverse roster all with their own plus and minuses. Do I think we'll ever see it? Not a chance, but one can dream.
Complete with the sacrifice of the losing team, permanently removing all characters on that team from the game entirely.
The single player campaign ends when only one member of the Mario universe is still alive.
We're getting a new Mario & Sonic game, so for now, I'm pretty satisfied! I just really, really hope they bring back and double down on Dream Events! .. especially now with SEGA having a separeted official Olympics video game, there's nothing stopping them to put as much focus as possible in the fantasy elements and fanservice of that crossover.
Other than that, my next favorite would be another Mario Sports Mix from Square-Enix; it's absolutely my favorite Mario sports game barring none; Bring all the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest along too.
I wouldn't mind something new as American Football as was suggested

All of these in one game
Minus the toe wrestling bc that's too fetish-y

I'm thoroughly surprised we never got Mario Football, especially when Chargin' Chuck is a character. There's even a football costume in Odyssey!
But, I don't want Football. I want Mario Strikers. Mario Strikers Charged was a ridiculously fun game. Just no more broken bullshit like Dry Bones and Waluigi's teleport.
I'll only play a new Mario Golf if they bring Plum back. Maybe I'll bend if they bring back mini-golf.

Strikers or Hoops are both fine choices
Definitely wouldn't mind an arcade style football (American), either, though.
