Mario & Sonic head to the Winter Olympics later this year

why is this game not using motion plus

Anyone play the original? Was it good? Did Sonic automatically win every running event?

10 Million? I remember when Sega said they expected it to sell 4 million and people were like "Pssh, no way."

Now we get to see if those 10 million people actually liked it enough to buy it again.

lol a must own for Canadians.

How many games even mention Canada let alone have a game revolved around it.

"...will pairs figure skating deliver tension and romance between Sonic and Mario[?]"

Not Sonic and MARIO, per se, but Sonic and Tails? Oh, wait, that's been happening since Sonic 1.

Like in the first game one would think Sonic gets an unfair advantage I mean remember those Sonic Raiders games? in the snowboarding department who else has experience?

Is this game really this newsworthy? I mean, it feels like there's been a post on it every day for the last week or two. More coverage than MGS4.

Attention commentators. Toepick. That is all.

Ahh, I remember when the first Mario and Sonic game was announced. I was so excited I could barely hold the mouse.

Then the game came out. I bought it shortly after it came out, which was shortly after I'd gotten my Wii. I didn't even have four nunchucks yet. My three siblings and I played it together, with the infamous sprint being our first game. It was lots of fun! Unfourtunately, that was the ONLY fun part about it. The rest of the game was either dissapointing in gameplay or was too hard for my younger siblings to play. Needless to say, the game is now sitting in a pile in my basement ready to be given to Gamestop for trade-in.

Despite the unfourtunate fate of the first game, I'm going to at least rent this game for the sake of me being a Mario and Sonic fan (respectively). With the balance board being an option though, renting is probably as far as I'll go with it. If the last game is any indication of what the controls will be like for this game, then the balance board will be featured throughout (which is unfourtunate for someone like me who doesn't have one).

So basically, what I'm trying to say is... I'm NOT getting my hopes up for this; I don't want to have another experience like I had with the last Mario and Sonic game.

Mario and Sonic, there goes Canada's chance to win a gold at home.

I wonder how much of the city they'll show in the game? I lived there and I'd be all like "Oh, hey, I can see my apartment!"

If Sonic's coming to Canada, I'll be waiting for his friends at the border. With a gun.

I think it´s good improve the games. And maybe this series would be better but only if they really improve the gameplay.

By the way check this site, this guy wants a Paralympic Game

I am surprised?

I'm glad that they at least nailed the 'Mario' and 'Sonic' fonts in the logo!
Also, +1 for the Canadian living in Vancouver tally... It's funny that I'm more excited to see a game mention Vancouver, than I am to have the fucking Olympics come here.

if this is as good as that sick nagano game for n64 i'll get it

10 Million??? Wow, I never even gave the game a second glance. Might have to at least give the 'sequel' a try.

The first game was terrible, most sports games are terrible, olympic games are even worse, not buying this one.
