EA not supporting the Dreamcast was one of the reasons for the fall of SEGA's final machine. Could the same happen to Nintendo?
Not yet. Recent box art from EA has reveals Mario, Peach and Luigi in the corner with the words "all stars" for game NBA street volume 3.
The game itself is a pretty decent title and the "all stars" indicates a full Nintendo team may be included in the game. This EA-Nintendo news smells of the "Link in Soul Calibur 2" news and Namco followed that with a slew of exclusive Nintendo games and a serious boost in SC2 sales.
It is almost certain that the die hard Nintendo fan base will buy this game with the inclusion of Nintendo's big characters. I for one, someone who would never have got a title in this series, will buy the game on this news.
Boosting EA sales is what Nintendo have been trying to do for a while, there are special Rogue Agent and Need for Speed adverts jointly paid for by Nintendo and EA that only advertise them on the Gamecube.
One step on from advertising other company's games is altering them to suit the fan base. This should also help to some level improve the falling popularity of Mario.
Maybe.

If you buy it just because it's got Nintendo characters in it, you're an assface.
YOu should buy it because it's an awesome game (series).

That's actually the stupidest reason that I ever heard for buying a game.
Mario and Luigi have the unfair advantage of being able to jump really high anyway.
And Peach can float.
And Yoshi would just eat the ball.
Some would throw Samus instead of the real ball, whilst Link would probably puncture it closed.
And Bowser would break the court.
NIntendo characters just can't play basketball.

If I was after a basketball game, then that would be more of an incentive for me to get that one.
However, I made the mistake of buying NBA Courtside 2002 just because it was a Nintendo developed game. (not entirely the same circumstances, but you know how it is)
Was alright for a quick game, but I got bored of it really quickly.

You CAN dunk it from the half way line though.
Street's a genius series.
Though I can't say I'd want to be playing on the streets of Harlem with Mario, Yoshi and Peach.
I suppose some Nintendo fans will shoot their loads though as Dringo has just proved.

It is one of those games that i've looked at but never bought. I'm sure the game is fun but I don't know the players or rules of the sport unlike lets say tennis or football. Allowing me to play as players I do know gives me a massive incentive to own the game.
FIFA for example, is a fun game and I own it because it is not only good but gives me the oppertunity to play as Leeds.

you don't know the rules of basketball? You can't spell opportunity?
That is ridiculous.
