It could be because this latest trailer starts with the hammer-throw/BUUUUUUHHHHH footage from the Japanese commercial, or because we've spent too much time acting over-the-top enthusiastic about this minigame collection, but we found after watching this that we really want to play Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Is that weird? It's not that we're so surprised to be interested in a game, it's just that we thought we were over the minigame thing by now. And, well, it does instill a bit of nostalgia to care about a Sonic game.
But there's no denying it -- that vault event (the one in which the player draws shapes to make Peach flip) just looks fun. And it's just drawing shapes with the stylus! Well done, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. You got us a little.
