Nintendo recently launched a preview website for Mario's next sports endeavor — basketball. Not content on owning the courts in the GameCube version of NBA Street Vol. 3, Mario and his extended crew are looking to tear up the asphalt on the go with Mario Hoops: 3-on-3.

The game was recently released in Japan and is slated for a September 11 release in the United States. The website will be periodically releasing preview videos and screenshots while it counts down to the release of the game.
