    OS Roundtable: Which Niche Sport Is Begging For A Video Game?



    There are tons of non-major sports in America, but only the most popular sports get video games with the other non-major sports left with no digital representations. Some games like Cricket and LaCrosse do have digital versions of themselves, but others such as Table Tennis or even Tennis proper haven't gotten major treatment recently. What sport which doesn't take up a huge part of the attention in the mainstream is begging for a video game?

    I'd pay for a CFL game from 2k, easily. Well, of course if done well...but i don't think I have to worry about that.

    EA should definitely return to NCAA Baseball though, would be nice.

      Love the fact Ben Vollmer dropped Quidditch in there.

      I'd be about it.

        There was a really good beach volleyball game on the Gamecube. I don't remember what it was called, but I remember really enjoying it when I rented it.

        I think Sega put it out.

            Bowling people. Imagine PBA Tour license on current gen consoles with online leagues and a career mode.

                    That would be Beach Spikers, an arcade game made by by SEGA's old AM2 team and released exclusively on the GameCube.

                    It was a great four-player game, and even the single-player modes were fairly interesting, since there was a metagame going on where your AI partner would play better or worse, depending on how you treated them between points. You could choose to yell at them, console them, encourage them, or remain silent.

                      NCAA Baseball will always be at the top of the list for me. I still play MVP NCAA Baseball 07 on my PS2. A college baseball game for PS4/XBox One would be amazing!

                      I'm all for a licensed tennis or PBA Bowling game though, and Table Tennis would be fun too.

                          High school football. Someone could make a game with generic teams and allow users to customize for real teams.

                            There are niche games available, but most seem to be from Australia: rugby, rugby league, cricket, AFL. Or from Europe: Team Handball, Tour de France. Its a shame we don't have any smaller developers like Big Ant willing to take a chance on the less popular sports. Put me down for lacrosse or any college sport, which now seems like a lost cause.
