One step too far, Mario.

I thought the nintendo guys would have thought better,after the disaster of Mario Smash Football what do they do;

MARIO SLAM BASKETBALL

I guess after the last 3 or so decent mario titles they had to make a money grabbing spin-off.

Mario + sports = really doesn't work, unless bashing goomba's is a sport.

Mario + Sports + Nintendo DS = EXCELLENT!
Have you not read the reviews for Mario Golf Toadstool Tour on Nintendo DS? :rolleyes_

In my opinion, too many Mario games.

[HUGECOOL]

Mario is one of Nintendo's flagship characters. It's been a high influence in pop culture throughout the decade. Sequels, prequels, re-hashes are always made when a game gets popular. Some of the more recent ones would be the Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy (old + new), and the Halo franchises. Unlike Mario, however, there is only one theme to those games so other genres are impossible to capture. These are the characters that make or break game consoles because without them, things would be very boring.

But take note that even though there are millions of mario games, each one of them has a different way to play, apropos, there are a million ways to play Mario. This is why it always sells- the games just click.

Final Fantasy 7 Tennis, hell yea!

Final Fantasy 7 Tennis, hell yea!

*****,aeries could die after every match ;)

All mario golfs have been good,but everything else has been a bit...weird.

[Victimized]

They should have just stopped at Mario Kart, can't Nintendo think of anymore interesting games than stupid cartoon characters playing sports?

[Lozzoling]

Mario Kart is brilliant :)
Mario Golf is ok
Mario Football was JUST acceptable
Mario Basketball, *whimpers*

[Azza]

the basket ball may be different as square enis [final fantasy] helped make it but it may a falure like the rest also random ff things will be in it.. not char. just like black mage simple things ^^

You're joking right? Sure Nintendo are going to stop making their mascots games just like that because 1 or 2 people don't like them. :rolleyes: As for your 'intresting games' comment. Have you not seen the Nintendo Wii's games. They're as intresting as they're going get. :rolleyes_

[womanizer]

Is "Mario Power Tennis" any good? I want to get it.

[JonJon]

Well each console has a cartoony franchise character, PS's would be Spyro or Crash Bandicoot?

Bring on the corny crash games then. :)

Crash Tennis pls.
