Mario Basketball
Developed By Square...
There were a few screenshots on the old forum. I'm looking forward to this one but haven't heard much info lately. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

The only basketball game I know of that doesn't feature a hip-hop soundtrack. :lolsign:
I just hope the game plays better than Strikers and a bit more like Mario Baseball, with special maneuvers for each character on the court. If Nintendo does decide to include this title in it's Wi-fi network then it has a very good chance of being a big hit. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Wai-wait! A Mario basketball game developed by Square Enix? Well at least it's going to have a great and deep storyline now.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
It looks pretty good for 3D on DS, but I still don't trust Square. Nintendo: can you make our new Mario sports game? Square: probably, what sport, Blitzball? Nintendo: nah, basketball Square: Blitzball? Nintendo: BASKETBALL Square: turn based basketball it is Nintendo: wait, no, what? I was speaking idiomatically. |
"Mario reaches Level 2. Mario learns dribbling."
Yay. I'm with Infernal Monkey, here. Squaresoft did never impress me with real-time games (just look at the minigames in "Final Fantasy VII") except a few of their Action-Adventures. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Why do I see some Square Enix characters popping up? Anyways, I liked Mario Strikers, or at least more than the Baseball version, so I'm hoping that the Basketball will feel more like the soccer version.
But yeah, Mario reaches level 5, Mario learns passing......awesome. FELIPE NO |
But it does strike me as... fucking weird that Squeenix is doing basketball of all things. And, why isn't this being released for GameCube like all the other Mario sports titles? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Video from E3's over at IGN http://media.ds.ign.com/media/774/774646/vids_1.html
Looks pretty fun to me, the 3D stuff looks really smooth for the DS. Though, the trailer mainly just shows special dunks. Reminds me of NBA Jam back when it was good There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Touch screen and basketball just don't seem to work very well. The 3D DOES look really good and smooth on DS too

- WraithTwo - I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
lol I'm guessing Infernal is exaggerating but the real story is that Square came to Nintendo about this game. It wasn't one of Nintendo's let's ask around for some 3rd party love. Square actually wanted to make this game and asked for the Mario license. From what I've heard this game is actually really good.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Hmm..I wonder how the music will turn out?
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this game. I'm still surprised it managed to be on the DS, and not on the Gamecube, or infact, the Wii. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
These are early beta screenshots. The final version is going to have all the characters redesigned by the aesthetic genius Tetsuya Nomura, so you can expect to see Mario and Bowser wearing costumes that have zippers and belts all over the goddamn place, as well as some girly looking dude with a giant silver locket as a hidden character, and an end boss who's big, grey-skinned, muscular and has a crotch composed entirely out of diamonds. Man, I just can't wait!
FELIPE NO

I don't even want to begin to think how a basketball game on the Wii would work. I suffer with repetitive wrist strain enough as it is. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
I've never purchased a Mario sports game, but this one actually looks pretty cool. Would be fun if there was a worldwide wi-fi mode. Otherwise I won't bother.
The fact that this game is being developed by S-E of all companies surprises me, however, and for a second there, I thought that giant Piranha Plant was a Malboro >_> Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Go Squax! Expand your horizons! Follow that rainbow!
Seriously though, looks like a fun game. The controls sound really interesting. I don't know if it'll appeal to me especially, sports games usually aren't my kind of thing, but I loved Mario Tennis, so maybe I'll give this a shot. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Hopefully this is a good WiFi game, after Mario Kart and ACWW there's basically been nothing worth playing.

I've really never seen any point to the Mario sport games but this new concept seems very interesting indeed seeing that square is making it and all. But with me and sports games of any type I say play the real sport and get some exercise unless its like some extreme sport. But the Mario sports games seem to have that zanny feel to them.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Did I mention White Mage is in there?
::everyone expects Sora and Cloud to be playable. AND WHAT ABOUT GENO:: I was speaking idiomatically. |
Apparently Black Mage, Ninja, Moogle and Cactuar will be playable as well:
http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ab3j/ch...aracter02.html How ya doing, buddy? |
Hahaha, awesome. And there's a whole nother 3rd page of characters that's yet to be unveiled on that website.
FELIPE NO |

That commercial is greatness. Funny, catchy, and best of all shows how to play the game in a commercial of all things. And has weird japanese guys.
I believe the yellow blob might be a chocobo... wearing boots... or something. Maybe not. Edit: In the commercial, it's kind of floating and wobbling about. And looks more like a duck. Confused is I. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
