Gaming how come the ds doesnt have a decent basketball game?

[jan777]

how come the ds doesnt have some nba goodness?

the 3 on 3 foot ball,soccer,we even have a port of madden but no nba?

i played some of the 3 on 3 soccer and it has good graphics and they could implement it on a basketball game

sooooo why ea sports? why are you depriving us of this?

 

[Gian]

Yeah, I was looking for one too.
Mario Basketball isn't .. really .. basketball. :/

They could have some gimmicky free throw stylus action, too!

It's the DS... what do you expect? All Nintendo's sports games are BS Mario stuff.

 

[Gian]

Actually, Some of those "BS Mario Stuff" are Nintendo's greats.
Take Mario Tennis and Mario Golf, for example.
Heck, even Mario Baseball on the Cube was pretty good.

They just made Mario Basketball too gimmicky.

 

[jan777]

mario basketball tooo childish

i didnt see them make mario football and i dont want to

"collect coins to activate power run"

"activate star to ram into 3 enemies"

mario golf and tennis was cool yeah but they really killed mario basket ball

True... now that i think of it I love Mario Tennis

But Basketball with the DS and its touch screen were just not meant to be...

 

[OSW]

our thoughts are the same

i loved mario golf and mario tennis on N64. they were rocking games.

You mean chid like right?

Anyway its Square Enix's fault they did it.

 

[Gian]

Camelot should make another Mario sports title.
Maybe Mario Football, Mario Hockey, Mario Chess ..

Oh, Hadrian, since you're in the know of most things,
has there been any word at all for a Mario Tennis DS Release?

 

[Lumstar]

Are you talking about the same EA that complained over a year before supporting Xbox Live, like most publishers didn't include online mode in even Madden of all things for Gamecube, never released even one Dreamcast game during its entire lifespan, doesn't fix obvious and easily reproduced silent crash to desktop bugs in some of their PC games...

 

[CockroachMan]

This is weird actually.. no NBA 200X game or something from EA!?

Anyway.. the last basketball game I played was NBA Jam on my Mega Drive..

 

[Rehehelly]

because basketball would be terrible on a DS.

 

[R2DJ]

I would love NBA on the DS. The only DS basketball game I've played was Sight Training. The game is not about basketball; just one of the exercises. Pretty decent if you ask me...

If FIFA and Pro Evo made it to the DS, why not NBA???

 

[Rayder]

There's a basketball game in the Konami Classics for DS.

 

[swiitness]

We demand NBA Jam DS right now

 

[gizmo_gal]

Honestly, I'd assumed that there was an actual game for the six major sports. I never noticed NBA's absence from the system. Sorry, for all you sports games fan.

 

[cris92x]

Why cant they make a basketball with like mario basketball graphics like backyard basketball for ds but without retarded special 150 point baskets or insane power ups....

 

[Lumstar]

You know... DS doesn't have a proper NHL game either. Backyard Hockey is the only one, and I don't think it's too popular around here.

Also no boxing game with real boxers on DS. AFAIK.
