The light warriors of Final Fantasy versus the Mario crew, a truly epic matchup between some of the most iconic characters of all of game-dom. A contest that can only be settled...on the basketball court?! A little unexpected, but cool nonetheless. I'm looking forward to Mario Hoops: 3 on 3.

I know it will seem like sacrilage to a lot of people, but I've never played a Final Fantasy game. Ever. I'm rectifying that, though. I figured I'd start from the beginning, and I'm about half-way through Final Fantasy (FF:Origins remastered version). Eventually, I'll work my way through the series roughly in order (I'll play FF III on DS before FF II, most likely). At my rate, however, I may be in a wheel chair before I finally catch up to the latest FF releases.
