Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games will arrive on the Wii U eShop on November 8 in North America.

Confirmation comes via a Wii U notification, which says the game will be available "at midnight on November 8".

Announced in May, the game will feature 16 Olympic events including skiing, snowboarding and figure-skating.

Additionally, it'll offer eight over-the-top 'Dream Events' set in the Mushroom Kingdom and Sonic's world, including an ice hockey game on Super Mario Sunshine's Isle Delfino.

Some events make specific use of the Wii U GamePad, such as curling, where the trajectory of the stone is drawn on the controller's touch screen.

I thought Dec 6 was the date. Does this include retail or is it just digital?

I like the way it looks too. has a cgi look to it. I might actually by this game, especially for that HD Isle Delfino.

 

[CrisKre]

And the games keep coming.

The game interests me bit I hope they fixed the framerate. What I played at e3 was tons of fun.

 

[Mory Dunz]

And retail?

That's my main concern, I hope they have it properly ready, they should've delayed it until Spring, they release London 3DS in Spring 2012 so it's not like they haven't skipped the holidays before.

They can't delay it until spring. That'd be releasing after the Olympics.

Part of it is summer vs winter Olympics.

 

[Winterfang]

The only one of this games I've owned was the Vancouver one for DS. Surprisingly great and smooth 3D for the system.

 

[kunonabi]

i have high hopes for this one since the series has gotten better and better with each entry.

 

[KingSnake]

So at list we get a hockey game. October, November and December are so damn crowded.

 

[canocha]

Are there any impressions about this game?

The trailers showed a lot of slowdowns (bad ones)!

New Video

Figure Skating

Snowboarding

 

[kunonabi]

framerate is looking good and pair figure skating is amazing.

 

[Neifirst]

I really hope this is good. I have yet to play arcade-sports games that surpassed DecAthlete and Winter Heat back on the Saturn.

 

[Exile20]

framerate is looking good and pair figure skating is amazing.

Snowboarding looks a little meh but I really like the figure skating. Would be a blast with friends.

 

[BowieZ]

Will not be supporting this due to Putin.

 

[Haines]

Having never played one yet, and this one looking kind of decent...I might get this at some point.

 

[KingSnake]

Snowboarding looks a little meh but I really like the figure skating. Would be a blast with friends.

I imagined the figure skating game as a drink game. That would become a real death spiral. )


The framerate (the main concern) looks decent.

 

[Sendou]

Will not be supporting this due to Putin.

Initially they wanted to put Link in this game but had to scrap that because then the game would have been considered homosexual propaganda in Russia.

 

[Ondore]

I think they announced the retail bundle for this one in the last ND - with a November 15 release date + blue Wii Remote+.

So digital is getting it a week early.

 

[Outtrigger888]

Having four game modes being online with country vs country tipped me over on picking this up.

Does anyone know the MSRP for the bundle that comes with an blue wiimote?

 

[dragonflys545]

It's funny how this has online play but all those other party games doesn't. Sega is stepping up their game.
