This is a fun game and has pretty good graphics for the DS and even better graphics for the 3DS.
Why is the game so expensive?
So far I have ten ds games and this is the best one by far. At first I thought it was hard to memorize all of the special shots that each character has… but it really wasn’t. This game has a bunch of characters from the start and you get more and more each time you beat a tournament. There are millions of things to do with this game and I can’t find ANY cons (i am pretty hard on rating ds games). When you start out with the first tournament, i think it is the mushroom one, it is pretty easy to win. But when you start moving on to things like the star one, it takes several times to win, plus there are a few surprises along the way. Another good thing about this game is that if you are in the middle of a tournament and you have to stop playing, you can easily pause the game and it will save your progress so you can countinue later from the start of that game. Also, you won’t really need to read the instruction book because the game includes a place where it teaches you all of the special trick shots and all of the controls and moves that you will need to play.Overall this is an AMAZING game and highly better then every other ds game on the market.
After reading the Mario Hoops 3-On-3 reviews, my husband and I weren’t so sure we’d like the game. Well, we LOVED this game! That just proves you can read reviews for gameplay and what the game is all about, but you are the only person who can judge. This game was a blast, and it’s very fun beating my hubby. :P The multiplayer with 2 people can be on one game cartridge, but you can’t play an actual basketball game unless you both have the game cartridge. On 2 player you can do 2 mini games where you dribble the ball and collect coins. :) Still my husband and I really like the game. On first player you make a profile and as you go along in the game and you can win rewards for quests which can be found viewing online websites that tell you the quests or found in the game. We got this game used and it already had a profile on it, so to delete that profile go online and it will tell you how. :) Collecting coins to shoot hoops may sound a little stupid, but my husband and I after playing it found it to be somewhat sensible and very fun. When people say your teammates don’t do anything, they are right, but that’s because you can switch people and be them also. The computers team gets harder as you go up. Practice will also be in the game that teaches you the controls and tips. I like how after doing certain quests you can win different outfits for the characters, unlock characters, and get a new ball. :) We’ve only unlocked two basketballs so far but the game overall is 5 stars. :)
I bought this game for the kids (4, 7 and 11). Found it a little complex to start, but once they got the basics they seem quite happy. Not a favourite, but it does seem to keep them happy for about an hour at a time.

Normally, I don’t offer direct rebuttals to other reviews, but in this case I’ll make an exception. Some have said the controls for this game are “fiddly” and “unreliable”. Not so for me. I find them simple and intuitive and very fun. It’s cool to actually play a basketball game where there is actual ball control. Furthermore, shooting, blocking, passing, and stealing are all very easy to use. As for the complaints that the game is all about coin collecting, I’ll have to disagree a bit on that, too. Sure, the more coins you collect, the more points you score when you make a basket. But here’s the catch, if your opponent makes a basket before you, then all those coins you collected are worth squat. I don’t concentrate on coinage at all, merely collecting what I can when it’s convenient, and I don’t have a problem with winning. Except on the more difficult tournaments, and that’s because my opponents are so skilled that they keep me from scoring at all.Onto the game itself. I love it. However, let me admit a few things. I’m not a sports game guy. I generally find them repetative and dull. The last great sports game I enjoyed was Tiny Toons Sports for Sega Genesis. So if you’re a hardcore sports guy, this probably isn’t the game for you. On the other hand, if you’re like me and want a game with lively animation, great theme, fun gameplay, and fast-paced knucklebiting games, this is a good choice.The music, graphics, etc. are all top notch, and I love the theme c.
My grandson loves this.

Since Nintendo created their Nintendo DS system, they’ve absolutely maintained and and defined a whole new way of playing video games to the next degree. Not only that, they’ve also shown that in the element of their games with Mario. Since Super Mario 64 DS was developed, they’ve maintained so many DS titles with the Mario name that’ve delivered from Mario Kart DS, to the return of the classic 2-D days with New Super Mario Brothers. Now, with the success of their sports titles from other systems such as Super Mario Strikers from their Gamecube system, many skeptics are wondering if that kind of a Mario sports title can deliver on the DS. Here is the result.Mario Hoops 3 On 3 for the Nintendo DS, brings the element of basketball, through Mario and company as if they’ve made the slam dunk. The object of the game is like most other basketball games, score the highest. You have so many differnt characters to choose from such as Mario and Yoshi, as well as clever unlockables Moogle and company from the Final Fantasy franchise. The courts all have unique Mario details that gave a whole unique way of playing basketball, from slam dunking on a airship, to the depths of the Blooper Sea. The graphics in the game are amazing, and absolutely deliver in detail from each character and move to score. The control, sadly misses a bit of the beat. Although you can control each of the characters well through the regular controls, but with the stylus, that is another story. The stylus controls.
