I think it would be cool and add to their lineup of multiplayer games.

Mario Basketball???  What, and give the Jeff Gerstmanns of the world another reason to trash Nintendo?  No way!  Everyone knows once Nintendo finally matures its gameplay ideas and releases "Mario: Vice City,"* they'll get back to Number 1.

Weep for what I have said here.

And Mario, thank you for that.

*Oh, wait..."Mario: Vice City" would be a sequel.  Nevermind--Nintendo can't do that either.

Damn Mario, that was funny!
Basketball, they would only have enough characters for like 2-3 teams only.

Enough with the Mario sports games, talk about beating a dead horse.
And people wonder why Nintendo gets called kiddy, maybe princess toadstool dribbling and dunking will help.
Good grief.

Um...Mario Tennis really rocks. So ignoring the point of this topic, I'd have to say Mario Basketball would be sweet as long as they didn't screw it up.

Yeah yeah I know what you're saying stop with the mario but I'd rather play a good game now then wait 10 years for Nintendo do "grow up" or whatever you call it.

Seeing someone with Mario's stature and mannerisms would definatly be an enjoyable experience in and of itself.  Although, there are definatly enough Mario products as it is, they don't need to flood the market, Mario games just won't seems special at all anymore if we have Mario everything.

They could make a game called Nintendo football and they could have teams from different games that they've made. Like Zelda and Mario, but that would be kinda hard since they would need a bunch of characters.  They need something other than another only Mario and company game. How about Zelda golf. He could use his sword as the golf club.

a nintendo football game would be pretty cool, aslong as you ment football not grid iron etc (im talking about soccer) would have more universal apeal (namely japan/europe, sorry america )

and aslong as ganondorf was keeping for the zelda team (think oliver khan in ganondorfs clothes)

I'm still waiting for Sega Sports' Synchronized Swimming 2k3. (Had to love Peter Moore. ;P)

Failing that, I think I could settle for Peach and Krystal's Xtreme Beach Volleyball. DoAXVB was lamented for "base lining" all of the character proportions in their title (I'm not kidding about this, either), Nintendo will fill the gap in the market by providing the "weird ones"! Easily 10 Million+ sales alone just by including Samus.

The only problem with creating a lot of Mario sports titles instead of one or two focused ones is that they could all turn out very mediocre, like the Disney Sports series that's flooded onto GC and GBA. Besides, the Mario crew just never seemed like basketball players to me, other than the odd Mario Party minigame. Still, they could maybe mix in the powerups from the platformers, you could throw fireballs or trip someone up with a raccoon tail, have more jump airtime with a P-Wing or be invincible to checks with a Metal Cap or Starman....
