KEY INFORMATION

It’s a whole new ball game as Mario™ rocks the rim on the Nintendo DS.
• Get that magic touch. There are plenty of basketball games out there, but none with the hands-on control of Mario Hoops 3-on-3. Players use the touch screen to get their game on as they execute tricky dribbles, special passes and sweet shots – all with strokes and taps of the stylus.
• Players choose their teams of three characters from the Mario universe and hit the parquet. Power-ups like Red Shells and Bob-ombs can turn the tide as they chase down coins – they will affect the score, so players collect as many as they can as they drive to the hoop.
• Whether playing against friends on a local wireless connection, jamming through a tournament or just playing mini-games, there’s a mode for everyone.

I just love how Bowser keeps changing size. >>;

Anyway, this looks to be some of the best graphics on DS so far, save MPH. Should be cool. I might just end up buying it.

Wow. This is one game I'm gonna get. The grapchis look amazing. I never would have thought the field would change. Oh boy, surprises every minute!

 

[Mikeachu]

When people said they wanted Square to make another Mario game, I seriously doubt that this is what they had in mind!

 

[MoltresGuardian]

Hm...Square making a Mario sports game. Interesting.

Maybe...just maybe...Geno will be one of the characters?

 

[YoshiAngemon]

Possible, but add in Mallow and possibly Croco, and I think we got a good roster. Three Cheaters - Wario, Waluigi and Croco? That's Cheating!

This is probably the only sports game that is Mario related that i like. I love basketball, and Nintendo has done a good job making this unique. Love the graphics, i am definitely getting this game.

Edit: I looked over through the images, is that PEACH about to do a FRONT-FLIP ALLEY OOP?
OK, i am getting this game no matter what anyone says, a princess dunking is just too cool

 

[CharizardMaster]

I knew about this game long ago, I can't wait for it to come out!

 

[Shadow Siren]

I want square enix to make a smrpg remake! I've never played it... But at least this makes the possibility of this slightly more hopeful...
