Heh...soccer / football looks nice! hope it plays well, I fear its gonna be all...floaty? like the hockey event. It was fun but the puck moved so much it was all kinda floaty.

So we have Birdo as a goalie and Eggpawn for Sonic. Well theres your Birdo representation. Wouldve loved if we had a sonic character who wont appear as playable, for goalie. Like ... Big? wouldnt that be awesome!

They should have used Omega instead of Eggpawn at least

ESRB's rated the Wii version

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games™

Platform: Wii

Rating: Everyone

Content descriptors: Mild Cartoon Violence

Rating summary: This is a collection of sports-themed games in which players compete with Mario, Sonic, and their friends at the London 2012 Olympic Games. In addition to conventional sporting events (e.g., swimming, track, volleyball), players can engage in a variety of multiplayer mini-games (i.e., party games). In some events, players can hop on opponents or use various power-ups (e.g., turtle shells, “cartoony” bombs and lightning bolts) to knock them down, resulting in “dizzy star” effects. Players can also use foil swords in a fencing mini-game to knock opponents off an elevated platform.

So according to the Sonic the hedgehog facebook page. The official website is now live...

http://www.olympicvi...don-2012/#/Home

But I was under the impression that this site has been live for a while?

Yep, it's been live since the 13th of this month.

EDIT:

Picked up the latest issue of Official Nintendo Magazine UK. Here's their latest preview of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Me playing (and sucking) at this game:

This event sees you jumping across clouds and shaking the wii remote to stay high in the air (which is what got me) to keep afloat in till everyone else dies. The game also looks amazing. I would of done a better run but I was pretty short on time at that point.

P.S. Thanks goes out for my friend holding the camera and watching me suck!

I love how Yoshi holds the world record for that event

Look, they used Bowser's Smash Brothers jump animation for that. Nice detail.

This gets the Kintobor Seal of Approval.

PLAYABLE EGG PAWN. MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. <333

It also looks like the goalie's colour palette changes depending on the team colour. It'd be nice to see some nods to the alternate colour schemes from Sonic Heroes and Sonic Rush in there! Surely I'm not the only one who would like to see a Casino version Egg Pawn for the green team... as unlikely as that may be.

Anywho, it makes more sense having an Egg Pawn as the goalie rather than Big or Omega. In the Mario sports games, they tend to have a species instead of an individual character serving the role of minor team players (Shy Guys, Koopa Troopas, Birdos, etc.). Not to mention Big's too busy being a referee and Omega's preoccupied with being a rival to serve that role.

Also, totally awesome to see Vector's Spin Jump from Chaotix and Bowser's Whirling Fortress from Super Smash Bros. pop up in that Dream Long Jump event! I love all the references to past games they make in this series.

Eh, I'm not too bothered about the kids t-shirt and the other stuff (but it would be cool to have). The tin is the most important part, so at least we get that.

If the Wii was M&S branded, I'd so buy it. But it's just the box, so I'll pass. Looks cool though.

Nintendo's report and pic:

I definitely wouldn't want the game in a cardboard pocket like that. Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort I don't mind, but not my Mario and/or Sonic games.

EDIT:

They say you get a sticker sheet too XD

as well as a sticker sheet featuring characters from the game.

Nah, they are talking about the landlord. It's quite obvious when you see him in the upper level of the stadium in row ZZ.
