The Japanese Mario Hoops 3 on 3 DS commercial has hit Youtube, it shows how the game will utilize the touchscreen of the DS quite well and it's worth a watch just to see little Mario perfom a slam dunk!
is it just me or did i see a Cactuar from the Final Fantasy series in there? like at 75% of the video.....weird.....
It's made by Square Enix so there are some Final Fantasy characters in it. Ninja, Black Mage, White Mage, Moogle and Cactuar. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ab3j/ch...aracter02.html There are some more characters to come, not sure who it'll be. I like that they're putting in generic characters rather than Cloud, Squall, Tidus, etc. I wouldn't mind them throwing in a taru-taru (sp?) from FFXI though. They're so cute.
typical another sport nintendo have made lame buy making it mario.
god whats that now?
Mario Tennis
Mario Golf
Mario Kart
Mario Party
Mario Dance Revolution
Mario Soccer
Mario Basket Ball
God no thought in mario games now just fast money making for theyre idol.
imo the games are actually good. more fun than the realistic sports games. tennis, golf, strikers and baseball. i havent had as much fun playing those games since the 2k series on dreamcast.
im actually looking forward to playing the 3on3 game. but like other people, im not so sure how well the touch screen will work out, as long as theres an option to play the traditional way *dpad, buttons* i think it will be a good game.
is this on wfc? or is it local adhoc only?

there's a big difference between being a liberal, and being a libertarian.
you believe in the state, i believe in myself.
go retro.
yea but nintendo and some fans say about sony or microsoft that they have no love in games anymore.
What nintnedo are the ones who are making anything with the name Mario on it, no thought nothing to it just Mario Insert Name Here and then put a 39.99 quid price tag to it.
Its really starting to take the piss, yes they maybe fun but theyre not games you will play for more than a few weeks, after that you put it down and get bored with it.
Just like Nintendogs everyone were WOW dog, stylus, touch screen. I did and then god its the worse DS game i have, nothing to do but the same old thing, at least Mario 64 DS actually has a long fun life, but all these Mario Insert Name games are just pathetic.
I don't agree, so far all the Mario sports games are fun and I play any time I can get a chance to. If it was say just Tennis instead of Mario Tennis and had characters that were just made up I'd still think it was a great game because the gameplay is great.

yes not sayin tennis is crap, but nintendo seem to just make any game now and put their slogan "Mario" on it.
Its kinda like a celebrity being here doing that after a while you get fed up of them and mario now has no value what so ever, back in the day it was like the normal mario games, save peach.
Now nintendo are making anything and dont care they just bang Mario in it and with it been nintnedo's main charactor all the fans go out and buy it.
Lets put it diffrently.
Would you buy all the games that Marios had if it was say
Microsoft =Conker the squirell
Sony =Solid Snake
I dont think so, thats why only nintendo dare make the crap games all the time because they know if it has mario on it youll buy it.
Which again is why im loosing faith with nintendo, they produce games thats pretty crap.
Name a Game Nintendo have made thats been excellent, new and left you wanting to play it again just after completing.
Only Nintendo game that had that affect on me was Metroid, then i got Metroid 2 and it felt like i was playing the same game nothing really new to it.
Would nintendo start making mario like he was back in the day, New Super Mario Bros is excellent, only thing crap is Luigi is left out, you ahve to do a cheat to play as him, it should have been selectable like the old games were.
I disagree with you saying the games are crap. If the game is good then okay who cares if Mario is in almost every sports game? Don't say its just nintendo fans only I know people who NEVER played gamecube or cared about mario play Mario strikers and they love it. Yea Nintendo is getting lazy but "if it ain't broke don't fix it". If it sells and people love it then oh well so be it.
I think the Mario thing is just so that it's more appealing for female gamers. Mario, Yoshi, Boo, Shyguy, etc; they are all appealing to female gamers. One example, I remember buying SmashCourt Pro Tennis game for PS2, fun, nice graphics, great physics, but chicks don't dig it. They like to play with cute characters instead.
I agree that they're putting Mario on everything to try to sell more, but most of the games are pretty good. I haven't tried them all because I don't buy it if it doesn't appeal, but all the ones I have tried so far have been good. I play a lot of games with my buddies so having a game that's fun to play is what I look for and a lot of these games like Mario Tennis are awesome to play with friends, especially before going to the bar :P.
As for Solid Snake, he's one of my favourite characters, but I wouldn't buy it if the game is crap. Take the PSP for example, Metal Gear Acid was the worst game I played, my buddy rented it and let me borrow it because he hated it. I ended up hating it because I think the cards ruined the gameplay of a shooter.
I think Nintendo is more geared towards the family and more for fun while Sony and Microsoft are more for serious gamers. Just look at the controller for the Wii, you can tell it's geared more toward the family.
