There are fucked-up video games, and then there is Jerry Rice and Nitus' Dog Football.  I can only assume there is some absurd tax loophole associated with this game's reason for being.  I don't know what's worse-- that "Nitus" apparently is short for "Leonidas," or that there is a three-episode promotional "TV show" for this game available on the Wii.  Track it down if you dare-- it's even weirder than you might imagine without the aid of psychotropic drugs.  Possibly even with the aid of psychotropic drugs.

I feel like there should be a word more intense than "bizarre" to describe this, but it's not coming to me.
Wow, though. Wow.

I think you can get worse than dogs playing football, but maybe not weirder.

Oh!

That was entirely.....a thing.

Indeed. It is... a thing. Value yet undetermined.

Surprisingly, I googled this and the reviewers' consensus seems to be, "Fucking weird, but it holds up." With an average of a highish but not ecstatic rating.

The game MIGHT be better than its own promos make it out to be, but that promo series made it appear irredeemable. Maybe it's the Karnaaj Rally of this hardware generation, but that TV "show" isn't helping any.

Also, some of the reviewers are allegedly shills.

I have a feeling this game was created either on a dare or on a bet of sorts.

Otherwise I got nothin'.

I own Shaq Fu.

Dogs playing football? Seems relatively normal.

Yes, you win. Everything.

Cho Aniki: Is it sad that I own this? I mean... It's... the most homosexual-innuendo-laden flamboyant strange game ever, and I've played Godhand and Katamari, those are nothing compared to this.
