Nintendo's Football Frenzy (Nintendo's 5-on-5 Rugby outside of North America) is a sports game developed by LYON Games for the DeluxGamer and Nintendo Reverse. This game is somewhat like that of the Super Smash Bros. series, in a way that it crosses over multiple series from Nintendo, including the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Gameplay[]
Despite only having 5 players on either side of the ball, the game plays mainly like a game of football. No items are used, a strange thing for a Nintendo sports game.

Formations[]
- Singleback (Ace)
The singleback, or ace, formation is when the quarterback lines up under center. The runningback is set a few yards behind the QB. The receivers will line up far to the outside. There is a sub-formation called the "Singleback: Bunch" where the receivers line up close to the center.
- I-Form
The I-Formation is like the singleback, only a fullback lines up in between the QB and the RB. A receiver lines up on either side. There is a sub-formation called the Maryland I, which adds an extra fullback. There are two more sub-forms called the Weak and Strong I, which lines the fullback up to the left or right respectively.
- Shotgun
The shotgun formation is also like the singleback, only the quarterback lines up a few yards behind center instead of directly under. The receivers spread out. Like the other forms, there is a sub-formation called the Shotgun: Empty, in which there is no halfback, but a third receiver.
- Pro (Split Backs)
The pro, or split backs, formation, lines a halfback and fullback behind and left, and behind and right of the quarterback respectively. The QB is under center, and there is a receiver spread out on either side.
Game Modes[]
Quickplay[]
Choose custom teams with any captains and players you want! Other captains and sub-captains can even be put on the same team as yours! Custom rules are set (such as game length) before the game is played.
Career[]
One preset team is chosen for the user, followed by customization of difficulty and length of games (1–15 minutes by 30 seconds, 2 halves or 4 quarters). The user plays each team three times in round-robin play, before the four best teams play in a tournament for the Nintendo Cup.
Online Play[]
Choose a custom team like quickplay, and play against an opponent over the internet.
Trivia[]
- In this game, the center is an eligible receiver, unlike in real American football.
- Despite being a Nintendo sports game, there are no items.
