Topic: Mario Appears in NBA Street V3

[Kulock]

Restricting it to just Mario characters doesn't make as much sense to me, though. A group of All-Stars that's just a bit more "street" (and I mean that in a vague sense), like say Mario, Link, Samus (sans most of her armor, probably? It'd be fun to see the lady under the battle plating still doing what she does best), and Fox McCloud, might fare better.

I mean, I like Peach, but if that corner logo is depicting some or all of the Mario characters included, I don't think she'll be a very popular pick, particularly for a game like this. Heck, Miyamoto hates the idea of Peach not being a damsel in distress anyway (I really don't think he liked what HAL did with her in Melee), I'm surprised it's OK for her to rough it up in a game of football, unless she's just going to watch from the sidelines and wave stupidly or something. (Not putting down Peach, but the way Nintendo insists she be depicted lately, like she's on a permanent dose of Valium.)

Nintendo overpimps their characters...

[D-Mac Double]

It's reported in IGN's Mailbag that only Mario, Luigi, and Peach are the playable Nintendo all-stars, so there'll be no Wario or Yoshi in the game.

Oh well. I'll still be picking this one up for sure, because I'm in need of a new NBA game, and I really enjoyed the first NBA Street, though I'd only rented it.

What about Luigi?? Remeber in Paper Mario Koopa Koot wanted "Air" Luigi's autograph. Forget LeBron...Luigi is the next Jordan!!

does mario only appear in the nintendo version of the game, or all versions?

Well, duh, would you really expect Nintendo to give Mario to their competitors? They saw the sales numbers of Soul Calibur 2 and wanted a similar success with another game.

So do they have special moves? like mario eating a mushroom and slam dunking? or a Luigi triple jump dunk?

from what I hear mario peach and luigi are a few feet shorter than all the other characters in the game.  which should mean crazy antics. I wonder if we'll get to use a metroid as a basketball. or maybe even have samus as a ball.
