It looks like the rumors were true: Mario & Sonic will return this year to face off in skiing, ice hockey and lots more for a game based on the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Sega has yet to officially confirm the title exists but that hasn’t stopped 2010’s director of licensing, Dennis Kim. He said that while he doesn’t know exactly which sports the pair of console mascots will be facing off in, he hopes they’ll bring in as much cash as the first game.

“Last year, 2008, they had a very successful game using Mario and Sonic at the Beijing Games, as well as a multi-sport simulation type of game,” Kim told The Province.

“That’s what’s being discussed and planned for Vancouver. We are feeling optimistic about sales because of the Beijing experience.” Kim said the Mario and Sonic game was “a top 10 game” during the Beijing Olympics.
