Mario Hoops 3 on 3

Mario Slam Basketball is the first game of its type to give players total control of the ball. Players really will be able to dribble and Slam-Dunk with the tip of their finger! The fast paced action features classic Nintendo and Final Fantasy characters and is perfectly suited to the Nintendo DS using a combination of the touch screen and D-pad to dribble; pass and take shots; all with strokes and taps of the stylus. The slightly more flash players can also show off several special moves; by tapping a unique sequence of dots that mark the first initial of the characters name; players can unleash awe inspiring new skills with the potential of doubling their score.

Developed by Square Enix Mario Slam Basketball is one of the best looking games to grace Nintendos dual-screened hand-held to date. The characters are all rendered in glorious 3D and the player will be dazzled by spectacular effects as the action unfolds.
