[Multiplatform] Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games!

So hopefully it's more like



instead of



How ya doing, buddy?

But that's what makes Olympic games good! You build up the muscles in your button tapping fingers and get ready to take on the world in a realistic fashion.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

MARIO IS FASTER THAN SONIC.





TRYING TO WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE WHILE DRUNK IS AN OLYMPIC SPORT IN THE DS VERSION.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

They're all robots. Just like the real Olympics!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Robotnik was always running faster than Sonic in the old Mega Drive games! You'd beat him and ZOOM he'd be off to his next giant robot!

I was speaking idiomatically.

After you defeat his Final Zone giant crushing machine in the first Sonic, he runs to his Egg-mobile thingy, and there's no way you can catch up to him. Same with Sonic 2, after you beat Silver Sonic, Robotnik runs off to his huge Gundam Tonka Truck robot. He's the fastest thing alive!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

For whatever reason, Sega released the Australian box art first. Replace the green rating with your rating of choice and that'll be the Euro and US box!

There's also a new preview explaining how some of the games work.

The 100-metre dash is clearly indebted to the button misery of Konami's finger-ruiner. Replace A/B button-beating with remote/nunchuk pedalling and you're just about there. Flail fast and sparks burst from your feet (in-game). This is understandable if you're playing as speed freak Sonic, but slightly confusing when emerging on Bowser's podiatrist-upsetting heels. And in a nod to age-old Ninty racing mechanics there's even a boost. In a dazzling feat of innovation you activate it on the starting line with a correctly timed press of B. Our jaws literally shrugged.

YOU GOT BOOST POWER.

FELIPE NO

Yet the game doesn't feature Metal or Silver Sonic. Tsk tsk. First videoooo.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

HOLY BUCKET OF LARGE JESUS COMBO IT HAS SPARKSTER AND PYRAMID HEAD IN IT!



This thread is now about Track & Field DS.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Picked this up the other day as I wait for Subpar Mazza Galaxy of prawns next week. I'm liking it a lot, I've always had a raging hardon for olympic style mash mash mash mindlessly until the bones in your fingers turn into paste games though. They've translated that pretty well to motion controls, my arms are killing me. Constantly having to pull knives out of my chest that they sneak in.

There are a few turds, like rowing. Seems like the instant you slightly get out of rhythm you can never hope to recover, then you're stuck listening to your character repeat the same line again and again and again as they slowly row gently down the stream. Javelin's far too complex for such a thing, and the less said about _____ ______, the better. There's a shit load of content packed into the game which is pretty awesome-o-tastic and the graphics seem fairly impressive, GRASS BLOWS IN THE WIND AND CLOUDS CAST SHADOWS whoa 1999. The characters don't appear to have that weird shiny metal glow to them either. The Dream Events are great too. Like sky diving and running around while trying to avoid Robotni-Eggman's robots. Pity they're the robots from Sonic Heroes. 0/10.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
