SEGA: Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games to rival Halo 3? |
Ó
When you ask people about the most popular characters in video game history, it's inevitable that the names Mario and Sonic will pop up. So if you put the two together, you will undoubtedly have one of the biggest games of the year. Apparently, these are the very thoughts of Sega's Corporate Director Masanao Maeda. He expects the upcoming Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games by Sega and Nintendo to sell several million units.
It was even mentioned in the Reuters news report that it is expected to rival big name titles like Microsoft and Bungie's Halo 3. The game will have Mario, Sonic and other characters from both universes competing in events based on the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
Maeda noted that "This will be the first time ever that we see Sonic and Mario appear together in a game. It surely has potential to be the No.1 title."
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is set to be out for the Wii and Nintendo DS. It is expected to be out in the United States and Europe around the second week of November. The game will be published by Sega in the United States and Europe, and by Nintendo in Japan.

ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING
It wouldn't surprise me at all....especially if it releses on NDS and Wii together....then it would totally have the chance to outsell Halo 3....especially if all the chinese buy it up because it's in beijing.....however, they also like to pirate over there....so maybe it will be more pirated then halo 3....actually, I would guarentee that
hehe
Sounds like a pretty crappy game to me, Oh boy childhood characters in a sport game. Fan-*****ing-tastic.
I don't think that it will matter that there are going to be two timeless heros together for the first time. This game is just another mini-game filled game, nothing new at all. Oh yeah, Sonic is no longer a great character, he was killed when they gave him a voice; come on, a talking hedgehog. If they released a new 2d version of sonic I would buy that, not this overly hyped up crap that is only given that hype by the developers.
Personally I think the game is going to be crappy as hell.
I will prefer to see Sonic on the upcoming "Super Smash Bros Brawl"
Sonic vs Mario, Sonic vs Bowser, Sonic vs Link, etc. You got the point.
Please let it be a surprise that Sega and Nintendo have for us.
If sonic appears in brawl, he could be revived if they just give back the orignal voice actor.
The voice acting in sonic rush was ten times better.
Sonic Rush is so good I'm getting the next one
And sonic has had a voice for the longest. Its called a tv show.
yes, sonic was good like 100 years ago, but recently it is a piece of dirt!!! All the games are abysmal! There is no WAY it will outsell H3!
i dont no if amy is going to be it its only peach,mario,son ic,eggman,knuck les,tails,luigi ,bowser and oh yeah cream
it said that amy appears in it
well i have to say that sonic voice is cool!!! and one thing sonic died in sonic adventure so you cant talk ha!!
