Slingerland Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Media impressions such as the following have been appearing all over the internet, so I can see WHY it was the best in show for the Wii at Leipzig. http://wii.ign.com/articles/815/815121p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheonix Gamma Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Best Wii game? Was Mario Galaxy not there? I mean, we ARE talking about a game developed by Sonic Team, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki-at Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Best Wii game?Was Mario Galaxy not there? I mean, we ARE talking about a game developed by Sonic Team, right? Yes Mario and Sonic, Mario Galaxy and Wii Fitness was all nominees for best Wii game, so it did beat out the best looking Wii game there, amazing isn't it? And no, this is not G.E. Dept. #1, this game is being developed by SEGA's Sports Design R&D Japan, formed completely by members from Smilebit, you know, the guys behind Jet Set Radio, Typing of the Dead, Panzer Dragoon Orta and GunValkyrie.

Asuma Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Best PC Game - Crysis Dayum straight! Soo, Sonic and Mario....I don't see it taking off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Still...it beat Galaxy?! Galaxy wasn't there, stoopid. Wasn't this mentioned already? >.> For real, fellas, check out the gaming media's impressions on the title. Some believe that Mario & Sonic is the best mini-game collection that they've seen.

Aki-at Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Galaxy wasn't there, stoopid. Wasn't this mentioned already? >.> It (Galaxy) still was one of the nominees for best Wii game though, as well as Wii Fit when the GC announced the original nominees. So like yeah...

1LT Worm Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Some believe that Mario & Sonic is the best mini-game collection that they've seen. If it's anything like Konami's Track and Field (I think that's what it's called) for the NES, I'm sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 If it's anything like Konami's Track and Field (I think that's what it's called) for the NES, I'm sold. Tangent: they're making a new one for the DS. Pyramid Head and Sparkster are confirmed. Slinger: Aki said they were there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shadix Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 So did Metroid Prime 3 sink or something because I haven't heard people mentioning it as a possible herald of "best game", nor Smash Bros for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 No, it was generally accepted as a great game and the best of the Metroid Prime series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki-at Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 So did Metroid Prime 3 sink or something because I haven't heard people mentioning it as a possible herald of "best game", nor Smash Bros for that matter. I don't think either of those games were at Leipzig this year, I think only Mario & Sonic, Mario Galaxy and Wii Fitness were the only Wii/worthwhile Wii products there. Anyway, if anyone wants to see the list of nominees. - Source As for the game itself, the last time I played a SEGA Olympic game was on the Saturn, and I really did enjoy that game. Media impression seems generally positive (with the only negative coming from, yes, Sonic being able to be beat by Peach) and some of the games, such as the archery event, looking like it'll be pretty fun. Add to this, the team members all coming from Smilebit, I'm pretty sure this should be a fairly enjoyable game. = ] Now the only problem is this game, SEGA Rally Revo, Metroid Prime 3, Sonic Rush Adventure, Assassin's Creed, Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, NiGHTS, Ghost Squad, Zelda: PHG, Bleach DS, Rogue Galaxy (We European get almost everything late = [) The Club, maybe Heavenly Sword(s) and Ratchet and Clank 4 are all coming out this year too, I'm going to be spending a bit too much towards the end of this year...

Pheonix Gamma Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 So did Metroid Prime 3 sink or something because I haven't heard people mentioning it as a possible herald of "best game", nor Smash Bros for that matter. MP3 wasn't there, methinks, due to the date it would be launched or whatever. Could be wrong. The game's good. Starts off Halo-y, then Prime Hunters-y, then becomes Metroid, then fetch quest, and finally the finale, which was ho-hum. Not much of an ending to the Phazon Trilogy, if you ask me.

Slingerland Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Mega-bump and topic renamed to "Mario and Sonic Olympic Games Official Discussion" (so that we don't have numerous topics about this game) AND...AAAAAND... New trailer!: http://www.play-again.be/modules/news/article.php?storyid=121 Lavishly rendered goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Its beautiful and all, but I wants game footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligar Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Looks fun and all, but on a logical standard: Sonic would have lapped everyone 50+ times Knuckles would have sent that javelin into orbit. Cream wouldn't be holding that gun Shadow doesn't run Other than that, We'll see how good this game is when its out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 True. Sonic/Shadow would win running contests. Mario/Luigi would win jumping contests. Knuckles and Bowser might be a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Well, that confirms Blaze, Shadow (Which may have been in the screens, I can't remember), and possibly Espio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheonix Gamma Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I love how it hardly shows anyone from the Sonic universe in the stands. Oh yea...cause they're all competing :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Is that bad? Edit: After watching again, I can see many Sonic characters in the stands while Tails and Yoshi are playing ping pong. I see: Picky, Rocky, Cucky, and Flicky. Espio also seems to be watching a lot.
