Mario Basketball (not what you think)

Usually, I let Luigison post Nintendo/Mario news here first, but this one is just too good to pass up.

What an odd pic. Apparently, I'm an ESRB rating now.

Which is exactly why it was deleted.  Dupe post.

[Luigison]

Thanks.  I must have missed your thread and didn't notice the date/time on it before I made my previous post.  You were right to delete it.  I must be getting slow(er) in my old age.  (Reading my user name in your first post is funny now.)

Anyway, I think that having Nintendo characters in 3rd party games is a great idea.

Oh no.  I missed the mailbag too.

But the idea is not innovative...

Remember Link's playable appearance in the GameCube version of Soul Calibur II?

...and in no point in the future will he ever be abandonded by me!

I will even drawn the best Super Mario comics ever to exist!!

[MEGAߥTE]

Of course not.  It's for $$$.

Here's a extract from IGNCube's Mailbag...

It has some more details on the Super Mario part of this game...

Do you have any more details on NBA Street Vol. 3 with Mario characters yet?

Matt responds: A few. There have been a couple of rumors going around that as far as I've heard are false. The biggest and dumbest is that NBA Street Vol. 3 for GameCube features an additional disc with a completely original Mario All-Stars Basketball game on it. That's simply not true. Rather, the Nintendo All-Stars characters and one original court are included in the GCN build of NBA Street. You can play as Mario, Luigi and Peach (no others) and there's a Mushroom Kingdom-style basketball court with appropriate sound effects. For instance, when your Gamebreaker Meter fills up, you hear the Super Mushroom sound effect. The second rumor I've heard is that the Nintendo characters cannot interact with any real pros, and this is also false. You actually square off against real NBA athletes using Nintendo's three mascots and the experience is wholly surreal because Mario, Luigi and Peach stand about half as tall as some of these basketball giants.

Interesting. I wonder what that court looks like.

Post your Super Mario 64 DS high scores on the TMK Fungi Forums.

Hm, they (Mario and Luigi in particular) seem blowwn out of proportion...  Then there's the lighting.  Mario, Luigi, and Peach just don't have that same...  atmosphere (?) as the rest of the human-like players.  Interesting pics, though.  Could a "Mario Basketball GC" be far off?  I shudder to think.
