It would make a lot of sense. With Switch's popularity and the fact the 2020 Games are in Tokyo (with Mario as mascot), it's a good set of circumstances under which to revive the cross-over franchise.

Yeah, you're right. C screams Japan to me. A could be from any country.

A good example is Vinicius and Tom, Rio 2016's mascots. Brazil is known for its nature, so they made a tree, representing the flora, and a jaguar, representing the fauna. The Brazilian flag is green, yellow and blue, so they made Vinicius yellow and blue and Tom blue and green. You look at them and you instantly think of Brazil.

Mario and Rabbids at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games

OT: Sega doesn't release many console games at all these days, and the last one sold less than half a million. If they do make a game, it will probably be because Nintendo specifically requested it. I don't see Sega going back to it on their own accord. The game referencing the Rio 2016 closing ceremony with Mario would be interesting to see though. 

I'm sorry everyone, but I really want Ubisoft to keep the liscence because steep:road to the Olympics is better than Mario and sonic ever was.

Steep has nothing to do with Summer Olympics sports, so I guess SEGA can keep that license. Ubisoft can have the Winter Olympics ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I think they will do it. It has a huge selling potential. I could see it easily doing 2m+ in Japan alone.

Lmao for some reason it never registered for me that the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games games were actually officially products of the Olympics ... haha ... losing a license to that must hurt

Oh, my bad, I didnt realize that.

So in that case, sega can keep the summer olympics liscense.

Sales would be gigantic in Japan if it does get made.

Hope so, the series went downhill imo though. Don't know why 2016 had so few events compared to the original, and moved away from motion controls, which I actually liked in Mario & Sonic.
