DS #1969: Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games (USA)

Gonna try this one, looks good

I must say, based on my short experience with the game, BoneMonkey was right -- the game is FAIL. You can't win any of the running competitions unless you're willing to score more scratches into your touch screen. And what's up with the clapping into the mic? Bad, bad idea.

I'll play it some more -- try out some of the other competitions -- but so far it's actually less fun than I thought it would be.

Your right, too much potential thrown away

Just pick up some screen protectors. I have had some $7USD Hori ones for about 2 years now, yeah, they're a little scratched but they've taken a whole lot of abuse that my screen didn't have to take. Even with running fairly fast times (I don't know quite how good since I don't have WIFI) my screen protectors are still holding up fine.

As for the clapping, blowing, while not quite as effective, works. Or you can do like me and just ignore those parts as I've broken the Long Jump WR without the assistance of crowd noise. I def wouldn't call it FAIL, I think it's a high 7 to very low 8 which works for me.

Instead of clapping, tap the mic with ur stylus. Works perfectly.

not working on my ms3 real perfect... only white screen.

the jap version is running fine. any ideas?

I dunno what people do with their touchscreens, I've never used a screen protector and play all the races at full tilt as well as playing the hell out ofother touchscreen heavy games and there's not a mark on mine. Are you all just being paranoid or have I mastered some kind of feather touch technique you ham-fisted bufoons are unable to?

I agree. I've used my touchscreen heavily over the years and don't have a scratch on it - no screen protector.

anyone also hate the auto save ~~
it irritating me

Yeah autosave is super annoying but if I don't think I'm done with an event I'll just restart it before it gets to the awards, that way I can play again without having to wait for the stupid game to save my non progress.

I guess you lot are all to young to remember the original joystick waggling games like daley thompson decathlete, or the arcade track and field etc etc.

For me games like this are awesome. They bring back a childhood nostalgia as I remember snapping my old kempton while going for a world record pole vault.

As for damaging to your screen - pah! It's a touch screen, it's meant to be touched, rubbed, prodded, poked and hurt.

 

[calium]

anyone white screen on m3 real? only jap version is working for me

 

[paulhine]

Exactly the same problem - my M3 Real hangs on the white screen when I try to load the game.

Have updated to the latest firmware (v2.9) but still have the problem.

Any suggestions?

oh i remember that all too well

i've enjoyed playing this

 

[[M]artin]

Yeah, umm, I don't like this game at all. I don't know why I don't like it... I just... don't. It's fucking horrible (in my eyes)...

EDIT: Let me elaborate, I do know why I don't like it. It's so fucking bland and boring. Most of the events require you to rub the fuck out of the touch screen more than your opponent. That's basically how the winner is determined (along with the choice of character). It's so unsatisfying and pointless. I can see where the nostalgia kicks in when titles like Track and Field are brought up but this... this is just a piece of cashcow-crossover-bullshit.

 

[Jei]

I dunno if anyone noticed it but... the Shoot minigame, it only counts points up to 99, and the timer also goes up to only 99,99... it's way too boring to get to the maximum and stay there like forever

 

[Beelzebozo]

Apologies for the late post. Nice game, thank god for my screen protectors !

 

[triassic911]

how do you play wifi with this crap?

 

[ismaboof]

This game is alot of fun for what's it worth. I'm enjoying it

 

[Captain N]

I know the touch screen is tough but I just feel very uncomfortable when I am rubbing the screen at a bajillion miles in hour in a frenzy.

I don't think I will play this game anymore, not unless I get a screen protector.
