Mario and Sonic in Brand New Game
Finally, after more than 10 years of cross-platform rivalry, it looks like Sonic and Mario will get the chance to slug it out in the same game! Coming off years of speculation that the video game icons could clash in the next Super Smash Bros. title, it looks like competition between the plumber and the hedgehog will be much less fierce. That is, unless you consider table tennis a cut-throat sport. Get your Wii-motes and styluses primed and ready for "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games".
Scheduled for release in late 2007, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games will pit much of the cast of the Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog franchises in a variety of events ranging from the 100m dash to the 200m freestyle. Even better, it's sanctioned by the International Olympics Committee and ISM, so you know it has to be good. Let's just hope SEGA can make something as entertaining as Wii Sports and not mess up this opportunity for video game greatness.
