News: NBA Street V3 will be getting three visitors from the Mushroom Kingdom.
In last week's GameCube preview of NBA Street V3, Kyle talked about a very juicy rumor that said the "Nintendo All-Stars" team would make an appearance in the game. Today EA has confirmed that Mario, Luigi and Peach will be selectable as both a team and individually in the Slam Dunk Contest.
"We're very excited to be able to incorporate the Nintendo All-Stars, as well as their own authentic Nintendo court, into NBA STREET V3," said V3 executive producer Wil Mozell. "There's nothing quite like seeing Mario, Luigi and Peach taking the over-the-top gameplay of NBA STREET V3 to the extreme as they square off against some of today's top NBA stars and all-time greats."
"Nintendo's characters have always proved they can compete on the world stage," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Now they'll show that they can compete on the streets as well."
NBA Street V3 is scheduled to ship February 8.
