I like the way NintendoDSLee9 thinks.
Is he thinking about bombsketball? I can't tell.

Post by: SolidShroom on September 13, 2006, 05:45:39 PM: Well, I got it today, and I must say, it is decent. It's not groundbreaking or anything, but kinda neat. It does utilize the touch screen, which is a huge plus, and it is just all around fun. Unfortunately, the music is god awful, you have to unlock the Final Fantasy characters, and Bowser Jr. is present. The items are kinda handy, but I rarely use them. In all, it feels like they put Mario Power Tennis , Mario Kart, and some mediocre Basketball game in a blender. My Opinion is a 7.5/10

Title: Re: Mario Hoops 3-on-3 released in USA
Post by: Kuromatsu on September 19, 2006, 02:49:02 PM: Well... I got the game, and I think it is great. I like how you can dribble in any possible spot, and throw items in any direction. I was freaked out by the music at first, but I liked it anyway. What REALLY freaked me out was the Moogle!!!!!! (I hope that wasn't a spoiler...)

Post by: Chris on September 22, 2006, 09:32:13 AM: I love it. I've been playing it almost nonstop since I got it, and I still haven't unlocked everything.

"Wario is great!" I never get tired of that.

Post by: CrossEyed7 on September 29, 2006, 02:30:25 PM: The only major complaint I have is that the first Square/Nintendo Mario in almost exactly ten years has absolutely no connections to SMRPG. Weren't we all expecting Geno or Mallow to show up, especially with Geno's cameo in Superstar Saga?

Believe it or not, I wasn't, and I just started playing SMRPG. (I had to borrow the game from a good friend)

Post by: Nintendo Bros. on October 16, 2006, 11:16:52 AM: It's so weird that Mario teams up with the Final Fantasy characters. Square Enix also did that with Kingdom Hearts (Disney Characters) I think they are desperate for another Final Fantasy! :p

Post by: The Chef on October 16, 2006, 01:19:58 PM: Uh they are making another FF. Actually, they're making about three new FFs.
