Press Release: 

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has not only a massive line-up of real-life Olympic events, but SEGA can today proudly confirm that their much anticipated title also has a unique series of exclusive "Dream Events" to add to the mix.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has not only a massive line-up of real-life Olympic events, but SEGA can today proudly confirm that their much anticipated title also has a unique series of exclusive "Dream Events" to add to the mix. The Dream Events - which are both single and multiplayer - are based in colourful game-like universes that include objects and power-ups that will either improve a players game, or bring their opponent down.

The four Dream events featured are:
Dream Race (Sandhill Race Course) - Get on your marks for this intense power-up filled race course, made for either one player, or as many as four.
Dream Platform (Tropical Reef Diving Area - 10,000M Diving) - More like skydiving, soar through hoops and perform aerial tricks while avoiding obstacles and opponents to reach the finish line first.
Dream Fencing (Duel Wharf Fencing Beach) - With unique special attacks for each character, this jungle-inspired world offers the ultimate duel.
Dream Table Tennis (Speed Rally Table Tennis Stadium) - A sci-fi wonderland, this magical table tennis extravaganza offers a special ability for each character - so move fast!

Mario & Sonic At the Olympic Games also offers Wii users the ultimate gaming fantasy - the opportunity to play against their favourite Mario or Sonic character. Thanks to the unique interactive Mii features, players can bring their own Mii into the game as a playable character and compete as themselves in any of the Olympic or Dream events.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games will be in-stores across Europe on November 23, 2007 for Wii, and Q1 2008 for the Nintendo DS.

Was reading this on revo-europe, hope its implemented well and not made to be a tacky add-on.



Games i'm currently playing:

Mii inclusion!?! That's a deal maker for me. Now I have to get this game. Damn Nintendo Wii, it's going to break my wallet this Christmas....



 

This is no longer about Mario vs. Sonic. This is now about me vs. Sonic. I must destroy him! At dream fencing!

I will have to check this out...but man...I feel bad for Sega...Sonic in Brawl is infinitely better than this now.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

i know the game sound funky but have my me lay the pimp hand down to peach and luigi sound to fun



 

So not only is it possible for a rather athletic, but fat plumber to beat Sonic in a race, but couch potato gamers can do it too, heck even your grandma can beat Sonic



Finally, I can stuff Mario at the Olympics. Luigi's the real deal, yo.



There is no such thing as a console war. This is the first step to game design.
