Mario & Sonic At The Olympics Wins The Gold
One game not, well at least very likely not being delayed is Mario & Sonic At The Olympics. The developers have announced the title has officially gone gold and is on track for a November 3rd release. Along with the finished product, they have also tipped us off on a few extra features lying around.
The first is that the game will utilize full Mii support, allowing you to play as your Mii instead of one of the characters from the Mario or Sonic universe. I guess someone finds it amusing racing his or her Mii selves against the obviously superior Mario and Sonic. Also announced is that apart from a normal mode of each sport, there will be things called Dream Events. Basically, take any single sport Mario has ever touched; now picture how the Mario universe has added power ups, and crazy abilities to make it more entertaining. That in a nutshell is what you’ll experience when you decide to take the normal mode over the Dream Event.
Mario & Sonic At The Olympics has really flown along from its recent announcement to finished product. We do know that Shigeru is involved with the project, so hopefully Sega’s track record doesn’t precede them on this title. If not, at least Sonic is now in Smash Bros.
