So, the first Mario and Sonic at the Olympics sucked... And now, a sequel is in production, using the Balance Board.
Any thoughts?
gonna pass thanks.
WILL YOU PLEASE MAKE A MARIO AND SONIC PLATFORMER FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY MAKE IT YOU CHEAP HACKS! X_X;; sorry, had to scream it. Franchises have NOT been going well lately unless your name is Fullmetal Alchemist.
Fail...
Pretty sure it'll work well. The first one is passable, and now they have some experience. I'll be picking it up in hopes of seeing future crossover deals.
I probably won't be getting it. But it must have did somewhat well for them to be making a sequel, so this will probably do good on the market, too.
Didn't bother with the first one. But, seeing as they now know what their past flaws were, maybe this one will be better.

I'd rather Mario and Sonic not cross over at all. >_>
The only way M+S can crossover is to do so in a non-Mario/Sonic way. They aren't like Crash/Spyro whom had a good basis to crossover with.

They could just design levels for Sonic in the Mushroom Kingdom and vice versa. No one ever said they had to share levels, but I want a cross over platformer.
It's like having Metroid and Halo meet in a game but having it be an RPG instead of a shooter X_X;;
I'm saying it just can't work. We have set ways we perceive both series....doing a crossover as such would bastardize both, imo.
I can just see Mario killing Chaos drones and Sonic beating the crap out of Goombas.
Anyways, I got the first one. Meh.

I think the first will be way worse than this...or at least I hope. By now they should know what works, and what doesn't. Sega doesn't tend to churn out crap....well, they do, but maybe Nintendo cares about mario.

If they cared about Mario maybe they would make the sports franchises their own series instead of shoving Mario in them to make them more marketable.
This game is going to be worse, only because the balance board is involved, and let's be honest, it's probably going to be crap. If the guys who actually make skateboard and snowboard games for a living couldn't do it well, I doubt Nintendo and SEGA will X_X;;
And I'm STILL waiting for my platformer.

So you want Mii Kart and Random Character Baseball? That sounds fun!

Mario Kart can stay since it was the original spin-off, and is consistently good.
I'd rather have a new sports franchise instead of Nintendo being lazy by putting Mario in anything and everything (remember the end of the Cube's lifecycle? Mario in NBA street that was pathetic)

Or how about SSX: On Tour?

Equally as dumb. Nintendo really had no shame in that last year and a half of the Cube. It's amazing how they went from that to their greedy incredibally gloating selves...
Those two games had Mario as fan service, nothing more. It was just because they couldn't get rights to exclusives other consoles had...think Link in Soul Calibur.

More like it was a desperate attempt to try to make those versions more "marketable" because Nintendo knew the Cube version had no shot of selling well.
Also, at least Link in Soul Calibur made sense, in that he actually fits the world it's in. Mario in those games was just pure marketing because Nintendo was desperate for any third party sales.
