Family Fun Football also includes a "Simple Playbook" feature, which Tecmo claims will "[make] it easy for everyone to learn and understand the game of football." If that's the case, perhaps most of the Joystiq staff should be picking this one up! Overall it sounds like some good family fun to us. Apart from having to unlock the Mii Mode. That's kind of lame.

What the... Um... This reminds me of two things (aside from this game looking incredibly lame that is). And what is up with that muzak?!
1 - WHERE IS MY NEW MUTANT LEAGUE FOOTBALL!??! I'd just settle for a XBLA or WiiWare re-release of the original at this point. Blah, and PSN too I suppose for you kids that own that console.
2 - Why does this remind for some reason of Pitball for the PS1!?

Oh, great, just what the Wii needs, MORE carbon copies of already existing and lousy software.

What really gets me is the lack of software on Wii in terms of sports/racing games that just goes for a realistic style. It worked fine on the PS1, and Gran Turismo or Madden on PS2 still look alright. Why must everything be cel-shaded and cartoony? Not that it's an invalid style, but it kind of eliminates the point to me.

If you don't understand American Football, then you can go on Wikipedia, read about it, buy a football, and look a lot less lame.
