Joystiq impressions: Mario & Sonic at the Olympics

Despite being one of the largest competitive events in the world, the Olympic Games can essentially be broken down into a series of smaller games. If you're so inclined, you may even refer to their relative individual size as "tiny," "diminutive or "mini," with an enthusiastic vocabulary producing an even more effective title in the form of "minigame." Clearly, the Olympics and the Wii are going to get along famously.

How can little fat Mario beat sonic?

MarioFromTexas6123d ago

of getting pimp by NES. How many games can nintendo put mario in? I'm glad M$ doesn't do this with Master cheif or sony with Kratos because that would cost me to get tired of them

ITR6123d ago

Wait, your comparing characters from 2001 and 2005 to a character that started life in 1981.

Let's wait 20 yrs and then we can talk about a fair comparison.

MK_Red6123d ago

Whilr I'd like to play this game, I'd have prefered if they co-starred in a pure platformer.

Skynetone6123d ago

RIP sega

my favorite company from 1991 to 1996

LeShin6123d ago

SEGA? Have you sunk soo low? Sonic is meant to be the fastest thing on two legs and you put him up against.............a fat plumber!!! As competition? Putting anybody against Sonic in ANY speed event should be redundant right?

Poor, poor Sega....it's come to this....

Sega is Teasing Big Sonic News… Here’s What it Should Be

Sega has recently taken to social media where it has repeatedly teased some big Sonic The Hedgehog news. I personally haven’t been into any of the recent Sonic The Hedgehog games, my knowledge ends at Sonic Heroes — that being said, up until that point I was a Sonic super-fan in my youth.

Gamers will be devastated if the game they are hyping so much is not Sonic Adventure 3

LaWiiG2884d ago

They need it at this point. They seem like they have no direction. I will interject, though, Sonic Colors #Win

The 10th Rider2884d ago

Haha, definitely. Though I could take another Generations or Colors. So long as it's not something with another shoehorned in gimmick, like Unleashed or Sonic and the Black Knight. They should just make Adventures 3, but take hints from Generations, Colors, and the Unleashed daytime levels.

Paytaa2884d ago

I've only been waiting 15 years for a SA3. Will have to break out of my Sonic retirement if it is Sonic Adventure 3.

Wouldn't be the gamer I am today without the first two.

SegaGamer2884d ago

I won't be disappointed if it's not Sonic Adventure 3, any Sonic game that is in the same style as Generations would be perfectly fine by me.

Sonic Adventure 3 would be great to see though, but not the same if they leave Chao World out. Hopefully if it is Sonic Adventure 3, we get Chao World with it. Consoles have come a long way since Sonic Adventure 2, just think what they could do with a Chao World now. Chao's interacting and racing with other Chao's online would be awesome :D

Chocoburger2883d ago

No, I'll gladly take a Sonic Generations 2, if they offer it.

Sonic is a lot cause, we always finally expect a great game, instead we receive something like Lost World or Sonic Boom.

brettnll2884d ago

Sega did apologize for those games though basically. And now they promise their next Sonic game will be good. So you never know.

Germany72884d ago

But Sega never released a patch for Sonic Boom on Wii U, they simply abandoned the game, it still is a broken mess. I'm a huge fan of 3D platformers, but no way i would buy a broken game like Sonic Boom.

The 10th Rider2884d ago

Sonic Boom was a completely different and totally new team. I wouldn't use that to figure what to expect for Sonic Team's next game.

DarkHeroZX2884d ago

Sega didn't actually develop Boom. They published it and it was developed by another team.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2884d ago

Sonic Lost World isn't a bad game. It better than 06, Secret Rings and Black Knight.

Phunkydiabetic12884d ago

That's like saying cow shit tastes better than pig shit.

SegaGamer2884d ago (Edited 2884d ago )

I agree, Sonic Lost World is actually pretty decent. I remember the crappy IGN review. The person playing it seemed to be on a mission to dislike the game no matter what. He would blame the controls and camera angle when he was dying when really he was just really bad at the game and didn't want to take the time to get better at it. He would also often die on purpose just to make the game seem worse than it was.

To hate Sonic is the in thing these days, if people played the majority of Sonic games without going into them with the same hateful mindset then they would find that they are actually quite enjoyable.

Segata2884d ago

Lost World is actually pretty fun. However the Unleashed and Black Knights and 06 and Booms need to stop

SegaGamer2884d ago

The only thing Sega can be blamed for is letting a gaming company from the west make a Sonic game. The way the game turned out can't be blamed on Sega. Sega needs to keep Sonic Japanese.

Sonic isn't a lost cause, the games just need to be developed with more care. Another thing Sega could do is get rid of the recent cheesy, kiddy friendly voice actors and storylines and go back to the more darker tone of SA1,SA2, Sonic Heroes-ish and Sonic 2006.

DarkHeroZX2884d ago

Sonic Adventure series was not that good. And Sonic 06 was Adventure 3 lol. Sure it wasn't called Sonic Adventure 3 but it was supposed to be the next main Sonic game.

Paytaa2884d ago

I disagree with all of that. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are my favorite Sonic games and I played all of them up until Sonic Unleashed. Sonic '06 was a 3D reboot of the franchise that played nothing like SA, actually the game had a hard time even playing. That game was garbage.

The only time Adventure was mentiomed again was for Unleashed where in other countries it was called Sonic World Adventure.

DarkHeroZX2883d ago

Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 where my favorite when I was young but those controls did not age very well at all. Also the plot for SA2 was kinda stupid. How GUN confused Shadow and Sonic has always baffled me. And like I said Sonic 06 wasn't called adventure, it didn't need to. And the formula was very much Sonic Adventure. You play as a bunch of characters who all have different stores that interconnected leading up to the true conclusion of the game. Sonic played like Sonic. Shadow was actually made more unique to play different from Sonic. And then there was Silver.

Segata2884d ago

They are fully remaking Sonic 1-3 using UE4 for XBO,PS4 and later a NX port. Right? Please.
