Hoops 3-on-3 brings two series together

Crazy cameos aside, controlling Mario, Donkey Kong and the rest of the Nintendo crew is mostly handled with the stylus. The D-pad still controls your character, but shooting, blocking and passing are all done with various stylus swishes. The accuracy of each shot depends on how steady your stylus hand is.

Mario Hoops 3-on-3 gathered a lot of attention at E3 earlier this year, but in a matter of weeks we'll all get a chance to see if stylus basketball is as hectically exciting as it sounds or just needlessly complicated.
