Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Technōs had a whole line of sports games in this ‘super deformed’ style and with outlandish mechanics, as offshoots of the ‘Kunio-kun’ series. The games I know are lots of unadulterated fun.
‘Nintendo World Cup’ — soccer
Nekketsu Street Basket: Ganbare Dunk Heroes — street basketball
Heard of these, haven't played yet:
‘Super Dodge Ball’
‘Super Spike V'Ball’
‘Downtown Nekketsu Koushinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundoukai’ / ‘Downtown Nekketsu March: Super-Awesome Field Day!’ — obstacle course running and fighting
‘Ike Ike! Nekketsu Hockey-bu: Subette Koronde Dairantou’ / Go-Go! Nekketsu Hockey Club
‘Crash n' the Boys: Street Challenge’ — track and field, iirc
‘Kunio Kun no Nekketsu Soccer League’ / Goal 3 — seems to be a sequel to ‘Nintendo World Cup’
Downtown Nekketsu Baseball Monogatari: Yakyū de Shōbu da! Kunio-kun (on SNES)
Yes, these are the ones! I think I've seen the football one from afar, and I also played the ice hockey one. Considering the average level of NES games, I think they were rather interesting and full of combinations. I can't say much of the balance, but we were still kids, so heck knows.
