Recent footage of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games revealed the use of Mii characters in the hotly anticipated game. Now, though, Nintendo has officially revealed to what extent they feature, plus reveals some extra modes.

 

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games has not only a massive line-up of real-life Olympic events, but SEGA has confirmed that its title also has a unique series of exclusive “Dream Events” to add to the mix. The Dream Events - which are both single and multiplayer - are based in colourful game-like universes that include objects and power-ups that will either improve a players game, or bring their opponent down.

 

The four Dream Events featured are:

 

  • Dream Race (Sandhill Race Course) – Get on your marks for this intense power-up filled race course, made for either one player, or as many as four;
     
     
  • Dream Platform (Tropical Reef Diving Area – 10,000M Diving) – More like skydiving, soar through hoops and perform aerial tricks while avoiding obstacles and opponents to reach the finish line first;
     
     
  • Dream Fencing (Duel Wharf Fencing Beach) – With unique special attacks for each character, this jungle-inspired world offers the ultimate duel;
     
     
  • Dream Table Tennis (Speed Rally Table Tennis Stadium) – A sci-fi wonderland, this magical table tennis extravaganza offers a special ability for each character – so move fast.

Mario & Sonic At the Olympic Games also offers Wii users the ultimate gaming fantasy – the opportunity to play against their favourite Mario or Sonic character. Thanks to the unique interactive Mii features, players can bring their own Mii into the game as a playable character and compete as themselves in any of the Olympic or Dream events.

 

The Wii version will be in-stores across Europe on 23rd November, 2007, and Q1 2008 for the Nintendo DS.

Im not happy with the inclusion of Miis if the data cannot be salvaged if my Wii knacks up.

 

Knacks up? What's going to happen to it though? Get caught in the explosion of your 360 following the Red Ring of Death?

So everyone could pick their miis and have a 100m race with Sega and Ninty characters?

 

Brilliant! :D

Mii Trailer

 

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26357.html

 

Do you think the Mii's have been given those names for the purpose of the trailer?

or may you have to you wierdly 'assign' your Mii to a Nintendo/Sega character [they replace that character but keep the name].

 

Really hope you can have your name in their! this is basically Wii Sports 2!

I'm sorry but Mii integration is genius - this game is looking better and better!!! And yeah, I think you assign your Mii on top of an existing character (take their stats and name). The name thing is a little annoying, but at least we can use the miss.

Has the release date been pushed forward for Europe? Hoping since it went gold and got moved to start of November in the US it would be the same for us.

The name thing mentioned above and seen in the videos is annoying. It better not be prevalent in the final version, its just sheer laziness...

If Nintendo market this as some sort of Wii Sports 2 alike and then have other adverts with a Mario and Sonic face off theme this game could sell BILLLLIIIIOOONNZZ!

These characters must be pretty darn short in real life because Eggman is only 1.85m tall (6 foot 1 inches).

 

This is Wii Sports 1.5 to me, which is most certainly a good thing. I'll be buying this (Despite the previews suggesting its not a particularly deep experience, but still entertaining, and that annoying name issue with Miis), due to limited time I have over the december/february period...

DK HAS to be a secret character, has to be! In a way I wish it was Mario at the Olympic games, featuring Sonic! Or Nintendo Vs Sega so we could have had Segas other game and better characters!

 

Besides Zelda PH, Metroid and Mario - this is the game I'm most looking forward to - I love olympics games and love the universe of mario, And Miis!!! Perfect. I hope it sells well!!

I like the look of this game I really do but I just think it will be kind of shallow by the very nature of what it is.

 

Also online but just leaderboards WTF? :(
