Mad Men Football To Touchdown on Wii U eShop

AE games has announced a new American Football game with a historical twist for Nintendo Wii U.

Developed with Nintendo's home console in mind, Mad Men Football takes "historical figures and groups from battlefields, and putting them on football fields", according to the developer. The likes of George Washington and other faces from the past will trade in their swords, cannons and rifles for touchdowns and ball passing in the upcoming game.

The studio noted how, for the moment, the project will be self-funded, with an eShop release planned at some-point this year. There aren't any screenshots for the moment, nor trailer, but prototype images are expected in the coming weeks.

What are your thoughts on blending historical figures with contemporary football?
