Mario & Sonic in the increasingly exciting trailers
Sega continues to
pour money into lavishly rendered trailers for
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, and we must admit it's working a little. We, who have been less than impressed with Sonic and his games recently, found the dramatic music and quick editing of this new trailer to be
effective at getting us to cheer for some ridiculous-looking video game characters as they compete with each other at Olympic sports.
Only now, after closing the window and safely removing ourselves from the video's thrall, do we remember that we were just looking at
Yoshi playing ping-pong with Tails. We felt like
Games Convention attendees for a second there, though!
If only Sega (and Nintendo, of course) would put this kind of effort into the
real game.
