Mario and Sonic Join Forces

mario and sonic
Today Sega and Nintendo announced that two of the video game industry’s biggest icons will unite in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. For many of us, this is unprecedented. The game, slated to have a release on both the Wii and DS will be published by Sega in North America and Europe and by Nintendo in Japan. It’s scheduled for release in the 2007 holiday season.

The games will allow players to compete in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games using characters from both the Nintendo and Sega universe. All I can say is, seeing Mario race Sonic in the 100m dash is going to be a joke.

    I was interested until I saw the words “Olympic Games”. Seriously, if they’re going to ever actually meet, it’s going to have to be a lot better concept than an Olympic games thing…

    I can’t wait to see the look on Mario’s face when he sees Sonic in the same game. I can imagine it now, like that video of Miyamoto seeing the cosplay of Mario Bros. done by Mega64. :D /
