SEGA better do big effort on their olympic game mashup.

Plus it was very cool to see Captain Tsubasa in there

It's kinda funny, Sonic got completely slighted, lol. 

Damn is Doreamon ever adordable next to Mario, somewhere Sonic is insanely jealous

Poor Sonic got left out of the track race, for some reason they used Pac-Man there.

If Olympics are ever held in Italy, Mario may be needed again.

Rome is one of the prime candidates for 2024 after it was chosen (or was near to beeing chosen I don't recall exactly) for 2020 but our ex-Prime Minister decided that the country couldn't afford to invest in the Olympics during such a time of crisis, ironically his name was Mario Monti. Looking back he made a really smart choice, not because of the crisis but because in the last few years a mafia organizzation countig thousands of people within Rome was stopped, if the olympics where to be in 2020 in Rome they would have already earned hundreds of milions of euros thanks to the contracts for the infrastuctures that need to be built.

Still Mario won't appear in Rome, Italy is Sonyland, they might very well prefer to feature Nathan Drake instead of Mario...



Huge win for NIntendo.
Remember, Nintendo also preparing Nintendo theme park in Japan in time for Olympic games in Japan.



The Ninteno marketing machine is doing good work there :).

Let's hope they put the same team on the NX Launch. *crosses fingers*



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.
