Mario & Sonic at the Olympic games. [Archive]

I just did a search and it seems no one made a thread for this.

Anyone looking forward to this game at all?
The overall feeling I get from most people on-line about the game seems to be a nagative one.

Do you think it will be any good or will it stink? It's being developed by Sega but Shigeru Miyamoto is, supposedly, over looking it.

I may get it. Partly because the Wii controls should help make it interesting and partly because it's Mario & Sonic. I'm not as excited for this as I am for SSBB or Mario Galaxy but it may turn out pretty good.
Wish they would give more info about the game though. Like how gameplay works.

It's being released this Xmas for DS and Wii.

Meh, should be alright, nothing spectacular, but I'll download the versions.

This is the Mario/Sonic crossover game? Consider me disappointed.

Impeccable

I think disappointment is the general feeling. It's the first crossover and it's a licensed olympics game. Don't get me wrong, the Wii remote could prove awesome for the game itself, but just a bog standard olympic game would probably achieve the same thing.

Don't get me wrong, I think sales of this game will go through the roof. I would rather a platform game or something similar.

Yeah for a potential HUGE game for the Wii (Mario/Sonic crossover) this seems a bit... out there. Like make a crazy realistic Mario/Sonic platformer, will probably be the coolest thing ever, then just make some non-Mario/Sonic Olympic game and that'll prolly still be decent. I honestly just don't understand the reasoning behind making a Mario/Sonic Olympic game.

I would have liked a crossover platformer. I think the Olympic thing may be a way to test the water and see if the idea of Mario & Sonic works or not. If it does, we may see more and more crossovers until we eventually get the platformer.

I'm expecting the game to have a "story" which will be a case of "Anything you can do, I can do better." or something similair.

Naturally this game is adding fuel to the "Sonic in Brawl!" argument.

It could be really fun. I don't know. With Miyamoto overlooking the project, it could be pretty damn fun.

Maybe this can lead to a Mario/Sonic platformer for the DS. That would be sweet. It would require some great level design (be able to use who you want for any level).

Love the idea of a crossover, but it should have been a platform or in Smash Bros before this. Doesn't mean one or both of those can't still happen, the only thing is it's not as exciting when it does now. Oh well.

It's probably going to be like Wii Sports, lots of fun with friends but not something most people will play a lot by themselves. I was hoping it would be a platformer like rdd said. Why are Mario and Sonic at the olympics?

Drakul

I have no clue why they are at the Olympics. I think most people wanted a platformer.

How the fuck are you guys hating on this when we haven't really seen shit?? I mean, atleast wait until they release a video of the actual gameplay..

I must have missed something..

Woulda preferred Sonic in SmashBros tbh.

If I had a Wii I would buy this still, but I am disappointed because there is a lot of potential for Sonic and Mario, and they're getting put in a game that will be like Minigames, Mario Party style..?

It will probably be really fun for a party game, but it doesn't really seem much different then anything else I would expect to see on the Wii at this point. They could put the Mii avatars instead of Mario/Sonic and I would say the same thing about the concept of the game. :o

If it is like Wii Sports only "bigger" it will rule..

I really don't know what people expected from the Wii but I f'n love mine..

out of all the things you bitch about, i cant be the ONLY person who thinks the damn name has no creativity what so ever lol.

07-23-2007, 08:00 AM

this should not even have been made. wtf would you put sonic in a olympic game. he is obviously the fastest character of them all.

Impact!

So fucking stupid :nono: (Mario being able to beat sonic at running)

It's blatantly going to be another party game, track and field for the wii featuring Mario and Sonic.

To me this sounds great, what's the big fucking deal?

And your point is?

Just saying, fucking enjoy the game, it's a start i'm sure that a cross over is in the pipe works for a platformer

Apparently Sonic will have low acceleration, but will be the fastest, while Tails will have great acceleration, but low high speed. Mario, like usual, is average.

What, did he twist his ankle? Sonic can go from 0 to 60 in like .000000000000000000000001 seconds.

Also, I look forward to this, but he better also bbe in Smash Bros. I know they said they had more than 1 guest character (solid snake) planned.

That's so lame. Like I mean, Sonic's entire "arsenal", his offense at all, is that he's SUPER RIDICULOUSLY BLAZING FAST. That's his only real superpower at all.

The only way I could see a Mario + Sonic Olympic game even making sense at all, is if there are multiple events, where Sonic has a decided edge in speed, and Mario in jumping and whatnot. I don't know how that'd fit into gameplay mechanics but going with their backgrounds... I dunno I still think the entire thing's a bit stupid.

I don't know, I think it will probably be a fun party game but nothing else.

Sonic is going to win all the track and field events except for the high jump. If he doesn't, then this game is completely bogus.

I've decided, Mario has taken roids to be as quick as Sonic. It's the only way.

Yeah, Sonic should be untouchable at speed.

Police had to break into the castle which was protected by 2 hammer bros found barricaded inside

Evidence has also been found that Mario sent strange text messages to his friends before and during these events. Luigi and also Wario have confirmed they received these text messages.

BREAKING NEWS

Its just been reported that king bowser may have something to do with this. Locals say "Bowser was always jealous of mario and him getting toadstool all the time, he pined for Toadstool day and night and everytime he came close to getting her, mario showed up and always messed it up for him"

Further investigation how ever prove KB had nothing to do with this, and that its purley coincedence and speculation that 2 hammer bros (KBs CLOSE freinds) where found in the compound area of the crime scene. One neighbor also added "Here in the Mushroom kingdom we use the Hammer Bros as burglar alarms all the time, there very popular and low maitnence".

More on this story as it comes

This trailer was actually pretty good and much better than the 1st one.

Looks like it'll be a fun way to kill an hour or two. I'm just hoping it'll break the habit of all 3-D Sonic games being total garbage.

And for everyone who's going on about how Sonic should be untouchable and whatnot, he really wasn't all that super-fast in the first few games. Once he got going through loops and whatnot, yeah, he was fast, but he ain't exactly the Flash.
