This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.

Madden NFL 96 is a sequel (or update) to Madden NFL '95. Due to Black Pearl unable to use the NFL licence, the Sega Game Gear port is renamed to Madden 96 - a tradition that would be adopted by later games. Home console versions would keep the "NFL" in the title for a few more years.
