The Nintendo/SEGA console wars are long over but it has still taken years to get the two characters in the same game together...
SEGA Europe has today announced a game that even ten years ago would have been impossible; a game that brings two of the most iconic videogame characters together for the very first time: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.
As part of the build up to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games will see numerous characters from both brands, including the likes of Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi, and Tails, come together and compete in events from the Games such as the 100m dash (surely the supersonic blue one will be first in that one?)
"We are thrilled to partner with Nintendo and ISM on this groundbreaking title," said Hisao Oguchi, President and Chief Operating Officer, SEGA Corporation. "For the first time, two of the world's greatest games' characters come together to compete in the world's greatest sporting event and we couldn't be more excited."
"Mario and Sonic have been respectful rivals since the early days of video games," says Shigeru Miyamoto, Senior Managing Director and General Manager, Entertainment Analysis and Development Division, Nintendo Co., Ltd.. "In fact, for a long time they have been discussing the possibility of one day competing against each other. Now that they have been given the perfect opportunity to meet at the Olympic Games, we may finally learn who is actually faster, Mario or Sonic?"
"The Olympic Games represent the true spirit of competition and passion," said Raymond Goldsmith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ISM. "Bringing together intensely competitive and fun characters like Mario and Sonic in an Olympic setting helps showcase the sports of the Olympic Games in a new and compelling way for all generations."
Mario & Sonic at the Olympics is currently in development for Wii and Nintendo DS, and has been pencilled in for release in Christmas 2007.
