Moogle joins Mario Hoops team roster

A recent Famitsu scan seems to indicate that the obscenely colorful cast of Mario Hoops: 3 on 3 will be joined by a fluffy Final Fantasy favorite -- Moogle. Franchise crossovers are always amusing, though we thought that Square Enix would at least have the good sense to toss Quina Quen from Final Fantasy IX in there. We're convinced that Mario would rather have a freakish, grammatically challenged cook on his team as opposed to a little white creature that's probably a bit crap at playing basketball.

1. This wasn't unexpected. Remember the game isn't made by Nintendo, so of course other characters, from other games, would be in this title.

2. Hello, remember FFVI? Moogles kick ass. I'd love to have one on my team, plus they can fly talk about great offensive and defensive capabilities.

4. Hey! I resent that! Ok, not really, I am pretty crappy at basketball.

(FYI, Moogle is my regular handle, not just for this post :) )

6. I hope they do a sequel of Super Mario RPG after this. Or at least a remake of the original.

7. I played this game at e3 and it was one of my favorite DS games at the show. The controls and very fun and intuitive. Move with the d pad, dribble around yourself by tapping the stylus around your character. Slide the stylus up to shoot, towards another character to pass. You can also deflect shots and dunk of course.
