so i've had about a week to play mario hoops 3 on 3 and mario vs. donkey kong: march of the minis 2. i definitely am enjoying both games.

with mario hoops, all your dribbling, shooting, passing, special moves are done via the touchpad, while you control the characters on the court via the d-pad (if you are right handed) or the xyab buttons (if you are left handed like me). the point system is not your traditional 2 or 3 points a bucket game. a bucket is 20 or 40 points (depending on if you use a special move). a player adds more points to their total by dribbling over the question marks found all over the court for coins. the usual mario universe items are available, like the green/red/blue shells, peels, bombs, lightning, etc. i forgot how long each half is, i think 3 minutes. there are no out of bounds lines. it's definitely an interesting take on the game. i can imagine it getting boring after a bit if you have no one to play with (NOT wifi capable which is pretty dumb). there are drills where you can practice the skills, and i'm glad they were incorporated into the game because of how maddening it can be to use a stylus to do everything. even weirder for me is using my right hand to move my character across the court.

for mario vs. donkey kong, think lemmings meets old-school donkey kong games. in this game, mario and DK have opened up their own mini toy factory. at the opening, DK kidnaps pauline and takes her to the roof of the factory. mario has to go through all 9 floors + roof of the factory. you basically have to, using the touchpad, lead all the mini-marios within a stage to safety. it's a lot more fun than it sounds because it involves manipulation of levers and switches while paying attention to the minis to make sure that they don't get damaged within a stage.

sorry i don't have screenshots or anything. but that's my review of the games i got!

Finally got a DS today! Woot! I decided to finally spend the money because of all the great RPG titles coming out this fall/winter for the DS. I picked up Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow as my first game and hope to grab Meteos next.
