I still think if a hypothetical Mario and Sonic platformer was announced for Project Cafe it would be a HUGE deal. I can see that game alone selling many consoles. That a good enough reason for Nintendo to want to take on the job?

Well,

1)We need to factor development costs, Olympics still comes out cheaper
2) How would Sega profit from this?
3) And Nintendo already have plenty of franchises that can sell by the bucket and sell consoles. They don't need Sonic.

I think casual gamers are more likely to buy Olympic games and they're probably a large amount of the buyers of the M&S series.

Sweet, Windy Valley! Nice! I also dig the Yoshi's Story-like 2D stage for the Long Jump.

Nice to see Judo confirmed, as well. Wasn't Judo originally rumored to be in the first game? Looking forward to seeing Sonic and Mario judo-ing it up in 3D.

Sucks that we don't get any new characters, though. Oh well, maybe they'll throw us a bone and give us some more sweet cameos as bosses.

OMG. NO. GOD. NOT. PLEASE. WHY OMOCHAO!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

[Shadzter]

Metal Sonic confirmed for water-proof

[Tobbii]

I think I'll get this for 3DS rather than Wii.

[Doctor MK]

Wow, those Dream Events do look pretty sweet. I am impressed. Also, ONM confirms badminton for the Wii version, which is insta-win!

Check out this awesome screen from the 3DS version... it's Brawl all over again!



And whoever came up with this idea of using Big Ben on the hurdles for horse-riding is a ruddy genius:



PLUS! Wenlock and Mandeville show up in all the background-y bits, on signs and whatnot. Totally called it

[xyv]

Lol Sonic riding that horse just looks really out of place XD also Sonic Adventure levels will be in the game oh sweet ;D

[Blue Blood]

What the hell is this? It looks like Epic Yarn.

[CC14 the Vipester]

If I had to guess, I'd say Yoshi's Story.

Ah yes, you're probably right.

[Tobbii]

Yoshi's Island with the graphics of Kirby's Epic Yarn.

In other words, awesome stuff.

[Protagoras]

Thanks, Woun!

OMFG, Windy Valley *faints*

And the best part is that we actually can't play through it.

[PSI Aqua]

This actually looks really good

[Indigo Rush]

OMG. NO. GOD. NOT. PLEASE. WHY OMOCHAO!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Because Omochao is awesome.

[Woun]

Because Omochao is awesome.

Fuck. I've been dying to Sonic Free Riders. Sega wanted me dead in M&S 2012? Oh not.

Just do what I do whenever I see Big as a recurring character.

Shotgun a bottle of Jack Daniels and pretend to be happy for the people who want him there.







Gotta say I am impressed with the quality of the graphics I am seeing out of the 3DS. Those character models are mighty impressive, and they really aren’t holding back on the 50 events tagline either.

Judo and speedwalking! Nice. I hope they can cram a marathon / biathlon in there for kicks.
