[Mardak]

Return of World Class Track Meet?

I remember having tons of fun playing that at parties. Yay for simple basic games!

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Dude, come play Sonic Couples Elimination with me.

http://boards2.sega.com/sega_board/viewtopic.php?t=72113&sid=959d0afb661c02f03de556496947ee08

I'm voting for Sonic - Elise!

I realize that I'm quoting myself... several times... but...

+5 Sonic-Elise

Go Sonic and Elise!

 

[:Motorbass]

You know, Mario would easily win the triple jump.

:]]]

That's too great! But damn if it isn't online (or only on the DS lol).
National leaderboards like in Trackmania would be so awesome. (You play for your country and individually)

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I am just so nipples and tits about this news **** me please!

mine mine mine!

So does this mean Sonic in Brawl?

Yep, those words sum it up pretty well.

[MutFox]

So does this mean Sonic in Brawl?

Hope so, with Tails being his clone character.

 

[Azure Dream]

Geez, why is the floor all sticky- oh.

 

[Muppet345]

what's this?

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Hope so, with Tails being his clone character.

But Tails can fly but I guess they could add that feature to him. Also, they should add sounds of being a pussy too.

 

[plank]

LMAO @ people who think its an April fools joke when the press release and images are on both companies web sites. :lol

Actually, I realized that when I posted it. The sheer concept of it made me briefly consider it as an April Fools joke from the companies themselves. But way to be an obnoxious retard.

 

[xaosslug]

Well it would normally be unfair, but Sonic will probably take time off from these events to suck.

when you play as Sonic, you'll experience somewhat debilitating drops in frame-rate.

 

[DIrtyWeasel]

Who is developing it? This could be... game... or maybe something new for a change.

:lol

 

[Zerodoppler]

Terrible

 

[Holy Order Sol]

We need Sonic in Brawl to determine who would win in a FIGHT, which is, actually, the only thing that matters.

This is still great news, though.

 

[Muppet345]

This pretty much confirms Sonic in Brawl, dude.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Sega's publishing it in America and Europe? Well there goes that game. :]

I hope this game's awesome though, there hasn't been a decent Olympics game since that one on SNES. You know the one. It had the word Olympics in the title and everything. I think.

 

[Xrenity]

Wow.

Sonic in SSBB confirmed.

Don't know what to think of this game though. Might actually be fun to play.

 

[Ramune]

Oh wow! Right before I hit the sack, THIS shows up. I can't help but feel all giddy inside. Two favorite childhood game characters in the same game? Nintendo and Sega can already walk confidently down to the bank because this game WILL print money!

 

[Mr. Pointy]

This pretty much confirms Sonic in Brawl, dude.

This is what I think happened.

Nintendo asked Sega to borrow Sonic for Brawl. Sega said yes, but only if they could get Mario in this game. Nintendo said ok.

We all freak out.

[:Motorbass]

quickly wallpapered:

 

[AlternativeUlster]

I can imagine the Wii version being like the WarioWare track and field game where you had to run as fast as you can in place for a couple of seconds but doing it for much longer than that. This could be more awesome than the power-pad ever was.

 

[ZeoVGM]

We need to know who is DEVELOPING this.

With the right developer, it could be badass.

Maybe the Mario Party developers? That would be just fine.

 

[Shinobi]

Well, obviously because a collection of sports mini-games isn't a good fit for the Wii audience.

:lol


I really don't get the negativity over this. I think it's one of the coolest gaming ideas in a while.

When Sega got the rights for the Beijeng Olympic games, they said they would be using the license in unique ways and would be making several titles to take advantage of it. Well based on this, they weren't just whistling dixie.

The dread over Sega possibly making the game isn't well placed either. Sports Jam was pretty well received when it came out in 2000 for the Naomi/Dreamcast. And Decathlete and Winter Heat remain the best Olympic-inspired games ever made. So if they follow either of those templates, no one but a fool is gonna be disappointed.

And if it's Nintendo making it, no doubt Wii Sports will serve as the base. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a joint project though.

So yeah, I don't see what the issue is...two iconic characters finally teamed up in a game, in the most unique use of the Olympic license in video gaming to date. I'm really failing to see the downside here.

Not to mention that this game will sell a ton on both platforms.

I also think Sonic's appearance in SSBM (along with probably Knuckles and Tails) is more or less a lock (thought that for a while anyway). I mean it's got Solid Snake in there for ****'s sake...how could it not have Sonic? What would be really cool is seeing Nights in there as a secret character, fighting in his floating stance. Probably see Nights show up in the Olympic game too.

If that's true then no way in hell is Brawl making it this year.

 

[cw_sasuke]

This Is Living

 

[farnham]

MEGATON:lol :lol :lol

first Mario Vs. Sonic game ever!!!

 

[Mr. Pointy]

If that's true then no way in hell is Brawl making it this year.

They probably already have the contract wrapped up since last year. They're just being sneaky bastards to get the fanbase wet.

 

[plank]

Actually its a good thing I pointed it out now because some people still don't realize it.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

If that's true then no way in hell is Brawl making it this year.

It still could. I really hope it does but if not, I guess it will be the best fighting game of all time so I can be content with waiting a little longer.

 

[medrew]

Did we really need the 3454x2447 image posted? It's like a giant French flag, and like my opinion of the French I do not know what to make of this

 

[Infernal Monkey]

MASSIVE IMAGE

I don't think that image is massive enough!

 

[Muppet345]

Actually its a good thing I pointed it out now because some people still don't realize it.

Fair enough. These NeoGAF laugh emoticons really are smarmy, though. I want to punch that blue dude in the face.

God I want a trailer on this or something. It could either be the worst or best thing ever.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

It should replace the French flag.

 

[farnham]

So, how big of a megaton is this?

two of the biggest mascots in gaming history joining ..?

OMFG MEGATONNERZZ

 

[Mojojo]

And I hoped Nintendo would stop with the mascot whoring when reaching to a 'new audience'. Seemed like that for a while, but I guess with the astronomical sales of NSMB, they went back to their old demons.

Olympics Mii games with online mode ( and, you know, Miis) would have been soo much better, but no , lets spend money on that shit.

 

[Kafel]

When will the Wii be released in China ?

 

[farnham]

this HAS to be an april fools joke right? ;_;

so you seriously think that Nintendo and Sega would make bogus announcements

its not like they are EGM..

 

[Prime crotch]

Oh Sonic, why?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

When will the Wii be released in China ?

Two weeks before every other region.

 

[temp]

Mario and Sonic at the...... oh, uhhhhh..... Olympics.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

If that's true then no way in hell is Brawl making it this year.

depends on when they asked

 

[Zerodoppler]

Olympics Mii games with online mode ( and, you know, Miis) would have been soo much better, but no , lets spend money on that shit.

Agreed. I'd be all over a Mii olympics, but instead they give us this.

 

[the thoroughbred]

This is probably better than sticking mario in 5 seperate sport titles. Although, they all still sell well. And we already have Mario Basketball, and smash footbal on the way.
