Mario & Sonic Hit the Slopes October 13th

[Rock Raiyu]

Two of video games greatest rivals will face off in bone-chilling bobsled races. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is slated to come out on the Nintendo DS and Wii on October 13.

In addition to bobsledding the game includes: alpine skiing, figure skating, ice hockey, and snowboard cross. The balance board works with some events like skiing and figure skating.

Oh, and Metal Sonic from Sonic CD traveled back in time just to make a special appearance as a playable character.

More like Mario and Sonic Milk The Hell out of their series 2.

Good thing it incorporates the Wii Fit balance board for a few events, it would've been a shame if it didn't have any balance board support.

All these title's are worth playing. But just not worth buying.

USB Loader.......

Unless if it has that weird tutorial like in Wii Sports Resort [JP]

I rented the first Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games and it's fun to play but not worth $39.99.

Yeah I didn't like the first game very much. It seemed rather boring but my brothers and some of my friends like this game and got addicted to the game quick.

At least the Summer/Winter Olympics isn't a yearly thing for them to milk. I wouldn't be surprised though if they brought some other one out next year with some other sporting event.

Didn't enjoy the first one, but won't shoot this one down just yet.

Loved the DS version of the last one, this one should be the same. Any news if the Wii version of this will have Motion+ support or not?

Cheers to fucking over both iconic characters with cheap-ass gameplay and mechanics.

I didn't enjoy the first game, it was kind of plain and I just didn't 'get into it'. I wonder how the second game is going to be like.

I actually enjoyed the first one quite a lot.The DS version sucked though.

And Metal Sonic FTW!

I really liked the first one (especially the DS-game... IMO way better then Track`n`Field on DS).

Does anybody know, if the Balanceboard and WM+ are supported? Because after playing WSResort it feels pretty awkward to play without it...

Dang really? I thought the New Track & Field game was much better than the Mario&Sonic olympic game.
Anyway I hope the ski jump will be good in this version.

I hope theres some WiiMotion plus use in there.
I bought one just to try it out and I'd hop a game like this would have it.

Snowboarding Sonic and Mario sounds really good actually.
I hope they make slopes based on The Ice zone level in Sonic 3 and the skiing level in Yoshi's island. That would be awesome even though both slopes were rather generic. Would have to rely on the music to distinguish it.

I'm looking forward to this one, they should be able to fix the problems with the first.
Though I'll wait for a bargain bin price before I get it unless its really really good.

Personally I'd like to see a proper Mario VS Sonic platforming mash up.
Seeing as there's really no more Olympics to take advantage of.
Unless they decided to make a third one for the moon after the Winter events....

Though I don't think I'd mind a Sonic and Mario world events game with unique events from their worlds.
Still, they need a proper platformer.

i can expect this to come out for all nintendo consoles including ds (or dsi) but it seems they have to put something special so tht it turns out to be good
