Can't believe there wasn't a topic about this one yet!
Again, no screenshots, just the press release.
Four great sports make their move to the Mushroom Kingdom: volleyball, basketball, ice hockey and dodgeball. All four are included on one game disc - a great value for Mario™ fans, sports fans and everyone in between.
Features:
The cast of Mushroom Kingdom characters get together to play sports - Mario style. While the basic rules of the games apply, each one includes some magical Mario twists like coins and special items that ramp up the craziness and fun.
While playing, gathering coins will build up bonus points. So when players score a point or basket, they also get the added bonus.
Players collect items like a Koopa Shell to use against their opponents. They can even use special items to beat up on the other team while shooting or spiking. One example of a special ball move is using a Mini Mushroom to shrink the ball before it's returned to the other side of the volleyball net.
Each character has a signature move that's almost impossible for opponents to stop. These include Mario's fireball moves or Princess Peach's heart-filled attacks.
In the field of play, a variety of tricks will keep players on their toes. On DK Dock, the volleyball court will continually slide to the left and right. On Bowser Jr. Blvd, the basketball court has bonus circles that frequently appear, offering both positive and negative bonuses that result in extreme point swings.
In each sport, play with up to three players cooperatively or with up to four players competitively in a two-on-two match (additional accessories required and are sold separately).

Isn't this Squares second sports title?
-
A Coin for a puck? Creative!
-
I like how the press release makes sure to point out that it's specifically ice hockey rather than just hockey in general, and then there's a shot of them doing it on the beach.
-
It's beige ice, silly.
-
I wonder if Toad will be playable? Probably not, but there's always hope.
I also wonder if Final Fantasy characters will be in this one too..?
-
Is Square making it? Wikipedia says it's just Nintendo.
If Square is making it, it's another chance for them to bring Mallow and Geno back. Or, rather, another chance for me to pointlessly get my hopes up about that possibility only to be disappointed again.
-
Yep, the fact sheet from Nintendo says the developer is Square Enix.

Is it me or did Mario just dunk Luigi into the hoop?
-
I think Luigi jumped up into the hoop to try and stop Mario from dunking the ball. I'll have to rewatch the video to confirm though.
Edit: Actually you're nearly right. He didn't exactly dunk Luigi though. Mario seemed to knock Luigi into the next. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjBsNZw1aC8#t=52s
-
Well, I suppose it's better than making three or four separate, mediocre Mario sports games.
-
Didn't the Mushroom Kingdom gang already try hockey and volleyball in Mario Party 5?
-
You're calling out Nintendo for recycling things now?
-
So I was browsing the image update, and saw this gem..

Look who they're playing as! YES!!
-
*Imagines that Toad will have to beat the entire game and unlock everything else to play his alter ego*
I've actually seen some videos of this game, and it looks great! The only thing I don't like is the inclusion of Final Fantasy characters...
-
*Imagines that Toad will have to beat the entire game and unlock everything else to play his alter ego*
/me actually imagined having to do something like that.
Oh well. It'll make it that much more awesome when I finally get to play as him.. :)
I am super excited for this game!
-
Look who they're playing as! YES!!
Podoboo?
-
Yes Weegee, because Podoboos are so good at dodgeball. :p
-
Did any one of you get this game yet? I've got it since the European release and I've cleared most of it by now, just needing to unlock some more things. I think it's an awesome game, and much better than Mario Hoops 3-on-3 (though I still enjoyed that one as well).
-
It's not to bad of a game. I found ice hockey was way to easy, even on hard mode. The rest of the game is fun though.
