Sega releases a teaser of Mario & Sonic at The Olympic Games entirely done in CGI, nothing to see here, as well as a few images of the Wii version. We've had a glimpse of the game at E3, but we'll wait to see more than three mini-games before making our minds.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (4 Days ago)

if they actually put alot of effort into making it fun
otherwise it will be as bad as the oylimpic games but more colorfull with turtles, hedgehogs and italian people
You got that right.
Being a gigantic Sonic fan I'm insulted by the teaser where he jogs along Mario though. It pains me that they seem to pay no attention to the fact that Sonic would run circles round the stadium while Mario was still reacting to the starting shot.
If they have Sonic swimming in it I'm gonna avoid it on sheer principle, no matter how fun it is.

It reminds me of the old track and field game for the NES that I loved so much, but this will obviously be a lot more entertaining.
Yeh ApolloCreed im looking forward to these mini games too!
Even that thing combining Mario with Sonic... (reminds me of that fuck Square and Disney did).
And to compare this rubbish with track and fields.... NO!!!!
GIVE IT A CHANCE. GIVE ALL GAMES A CHANCE BEFORE YOU RIP THEM APART WITHOUT PLAYING THEM.
Sorry if my last post was a bit aggressiv, but I really can't understand this game. Well, perhaps it could change my mind playing it. But what I see just makes me shake my head. I'm really not into Mario games.
And don't call me a troll, please. I play games since I'm 6 or 8, and now I'm 26. So....
I think if the game is fun then why is it so hard to ignore the fact that sonic is faster ? Thats quite sad really. They are just making a track and field style game with all sorts of characters. I dont think its a game about each individual characters strengths. No one seems to be talking about the fact that bowser would own at any strength related games.
The great thing about Mario Strikers, Mario Kart, Sonic Battle, Sonic Riders, all those spinoffs is that they take into account the aspects of respective universe. If you lose that then you're just a McDonalds toy in a Happy Meal - quick brand based cash-ins.
The whole fan appeal of a Mario vs Sonic game is to pit their strengths against eachother. What's the point if Sonic's speed isn't even aknowledged? If Sega can't work out a tongue-in-cheek way of evening them out then maybe they shouldn't bother.
Everybody knows Sonic can't swim, but if there's a swimming heat in this game I fear they'll be just as oblivious to that character treat. :(
They wouldnt be able to have a straight up olympics using each characters traits. If it were that way then sonic would win flat out. Thats no fun. If they changed the way the race was done however then it may work. Things like powerups that could be used could level the playing field.
I just dont see what the big deal is. They are making a bunch of olympic themed mini-games using characters out of different video game universes. If its a fun game ignore the fact that sonic cant run faster than everyone. The difference between say, this and smash bros is that this game is not one set game type. In smash bros its all about fighting so it allows each character to have signature moves and strengths. They can then focus on balancing the game and making sure that one character is not over powered and dominates every game.
Do you have any ideas on how they could do this ? I really cant think of a way to make a race between mario and sonic fair myself.
