Get that magic touch. There are plenty of basketball games out there, but none with the hands-on control of Mario Hoops 3-on-3. Players use the touch screen to get their game on as they execute tricky dribbles, special passes and sweet shots - all with strokes and taps of the stylus. Players choose their teams of three characters from the Mario universe and hit the parquet. Power-ups like Red Shells and Bob-ombs can turn the tide as they chase down coins - they will affect the score, so players collect as many as they can as they drive to the hoop. Whether playing against friends on a local wireless connection, jamming through a tournament or just playing mini-games, there's a mode for everyone. Read less

Brief

Bouncing and shooting the basketball feels different than any other Dual Screen game I have played. The pixel 3D animation is great.

That is about all there is to the game. The characters' lack of mobility is annoying, they seem to run on the spot on a migrating circle. Wii Sports Resort Basketball feels similar but better than Mario Hoops …

Mehrio whoops, tree on tree.

Why does this game exist ? I don't know. Do i really care ? No, not really. Is it good ? Heck yeah !

Not as weird as Disney x Final fantasy but it's still pretty out there. However, i find that the final fantasy characters blend in pretty well with the other classic mario characters, a lot of that …

Why does this game exist ? I don't know. Do i really care ? No, not really. Is it good ? Heck yeah !

Not as weird as Disney x Final fantasy but it's still pretty out there. However, i find that the final fantasy characters blend in pretty well with the other classic mario characters, a lot of that is due to the amazing art style this game has.

3.6 out of 5, would love to see another Mario x FF crossover !

(Ps : White mage > Princess Peach intense daberoni)

El más chulo del barrio

En este juego aprendías las letras del abecedario por lo puñeteramente cansado que era hacer las habilidades definitivas de los payasos estos.

7/10 - It's a-me, depresión clínica.
