Aside from the fact it used Final Fantasy like it weren't no thing?MARIO HOOPS! Pleeeeeeeeeease. Heh, well not really, but hey, it was a pretty good game for the DS.
I'm not sure myself. But oh well, didn't stop me from making sweet love to it- uh, playing it a lot.I never understood why they included a bunch of generic Final Fantasy characters to be honest. Why not include those from Mario RPG instead?
Yuppers, Square Enix assisted with the creation of it (kind of unexpected, them helping with the development of a basketball game, heh), and they do the same with the new Mario Sports Mix.I also enjoyed hoops a hell of a lot, one of the better DS games out there in my opinion. As for the Final Fantasy characters..I believe Square (or a company related to the FF frannchise) helped develop the game.
