Mario and Sonic Together at Last
Mascots to star in new Olympics game for Wii and DS.
by Rob Burman and Matt Casamassina, IGN UK
UK, March 28, 2007 - Finally the dreams of SEGA and Nintendo fans come true as news hits thats Mario and Sonic are set to star side by side in a new game for Wii and DS, based on the 2008 Olmypics.
SEGA made the historic announcement this morning and confirmed that Mario & Sonic at the Olympics (as it's known) is due for release this Christmas. The game's currently in development by SEGA Japan and Shigeru Miyamoto is supervising the project.
Players compete in events around venues based on official locations for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Featuring a supporting cast of recognisable faces from the world of both Sonic and Mario, players can choose from a range of characters including Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi, Tails and more.
It might not be Smash Bros. but at least they're together now.
Innovative use of the Wii and DS control systems are promised, enabling players to race down the 100m track, participate in exhilarating table tennis rallies and churn water in swimming heats to compete for the gold medal.
"Mario and Sonic have been respectful rivals since the early days of video games," said Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto. "In fact, for a long time they have been discussing the possibility of one day competing against each other. Now that they have been given the perfect opportunity to meet at the Olympic Games, we may finally learn who is actually faster, Mario or Sonic?"
"We are thrilled to partner with Nintendo and ISM on this groundbreaking title," said Hisao Oguchi, president and chief operating officer, SEGA. "For the first time, two of the world's greatest games' characters come together to compete in the world's greatest sporting event and we couldn't be more excited."
"The Olympic Games represent the true spirit of competition and passion," said Raymond Goldsmith, chairman and chief executive officer of ISM. "Bringing together intensely competitive and fun characters like Mario and Sonic in an Olympic setting helps showcase the sports of the Olympic Games in a new and compelling way for all generations." |

Honestly... I wouldn't put it past Sega and Nintendo to set something like this up. If it's coming out... great, if it is a joke. It'll be hilarious! |

Personal opinion, but even if it were to come out it could still potentially be seen as a joke. |

Yeah What's Mario gonna do? Use a Warp piep to cheat his way through a level?
They already slow Sonic down in every game made since Sonic III...Please don't slow him down to Plumber Speed.
Maybe the game is to race Shadow and Sonic to see who can get Mario a beer the fastest...Or maybe some kinda fast hand-job. |
