Mario Basket 3-on-3 DS (Mario Hoops)

**GrandAmChandler** · 03-21-2006, 08:10 AM

Anyone know anything new about this? This is my most antcipated DS title for E3 this year. I really want it. WiFi mode will be great, and I look forward to starting a DP league if the option ever exists.

Here is some info:

And some screenshots:

Any NEW news?

I've got nothing new to contribute, I'm afraid, but I'm very excited about this, too. There are a number of games Nintendo announced (like a new Wario Land) which we know very little about. With so many great games out/coming out, it is hard to remember games like this sometimes.

I would imagine E3 will be the next time we hear of this game, to be honest.

Off topic... those big DS screen kiosk 'things'... how do the DS graphics hold up when stretched to screen sizes like that, I wonder?

this looks good, if its definately wi-fi I will be picking it up.. hopefully, they will have leagues...

I had completely forgotten about this. This is definitely going to be a can't-miss title for sports fans and Mario fans a like. I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this one.

Have we heard anything about wi-fi available for this game? that would ROCK.

Yeah, it is definitely supposed to have Wi-Fi capabilities, but to what extent is unknown.

I would ASSUME, that it would be an option to have 6 people playing at the same time.

I can imagine the mini-games for this game. There can be so many. Maybe they can include a 5 on 5 mode? That would be insane!

I'm excited about the game and love the fact that they changed the title to Mario Hoops so when you search for a topic about it before posting a new one you don't see this one

oops

Hopefully they'll have a nice WiFi set up for this one, instead of the bare minimum like they've been doing.

**Xexyz** · 06-20-2006, 04:23 PM

No WiFi compatability anymore

Where did you read that? I thought most - if not all - Nintendo games on DS would be online?

Where did you find that because last night IGN had this to say:

Only the games that feature a good amount of multiplayer will be online, which this game is.

I haven't heard anything about Wi-fi being left out of this title, and it seems like Sqaure would be passing up a huge selling point if they didn't include Wi-Fi.

I wasn't hinting that I thought games like Kirby Canvas or New. Super Mario Bros. would be online

Of course, the game would need a healthy multiplayer component, where online play would be sorely missed if not included.

This looks very good. All the Nintendo sports games have been great

**segagamer4life** · 09-12-2006, 09:54 PM

rented this today, and man oh man, is it a FUN.. FUN.. basketball game. a it on the nba jam side of things, but a great basketball game, my only wish, WI-FI support, eitherway, this game is a must for any nintendo/basketball fan. Enjoy.

**Gapporin** · 09-12-2006, 10:01 PM

Does it still have the Final Fantasy characters included?

Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes, please...

**Streetball 21** · 09-12-2006, 10:37 PM

Yes, the Final Fantasy characters are included.

Man, this game is so much fun. I know some reviewers were complaining about the controls, but it is not that bad. Just practice and you'll get the hang of it. The graphics are great, but too bad it's not Wi-Fi enabled. Now, if we can get Mario Tackle Football or something.......

**segagamer4life** · 09-13-2006, 07:12 AM

yeah.. the controls, take a lil adjusting, but the game is solid, and more importantly REALLY FUN!!!
