It's funny. When this game was first announced, a lot of the first reactions I saw on other forums were "I can't believe they're going to damage the integrity of the Olympics by associating them with crap like Sonic and Mario!"Green Gibbon! wrote:Anyway, the olympics are fucking stupid.
Meanwhile, my first reaction was "I can't believe they're going to damage the integrity of Sonic and Mario by associating them with crap like the Olympics!"
I guess we all have different priorities.

The Olympics are pretty cool, and videogames are pretty cool. Trying to shove them together means you're pretty much missing the point of both.
God, this whole thing is stupid. Why couldn't it be "Mario vs. Sonic in various sports with a stupid title"? Or, you know, some sort of fighting game, a <i>brawl</i> if you will, that throws a bunch of different characters together in one game and allows you to pit them against each other. That would be cool, too.

I....I liked the game....Green Gibbon! wrote:No.but I never got to try Izzy. Was it any good?
I think the character was supposed to be some kind of permanent mascot or something and nobody cared so they never used him again.
Also, as I recall, there was even a television special starring Izzy, in which he had to collect the Olympic Rings to save...something....
The Mario and Sonic game will probably have a story to the same effect....like Robotnik/Bowser trying to steal the torch. Or Sonic and Mario learning about sportsmanship or something.
Oh, and in the Last Story, the IOC president turns into a giant dragon and Sonic and Mario go super to stop him. Then everyone gets the gold medal. the endz.
Hm. This idea sound of yours sounds SMASHING.Delphine wrote:Why couldn't it be "Mario vs. Sonic in various sports with a stupid title"?

Isn't this just another product of Naka leaving Sega? Didn't he say he wouldn't make a Mario/Sonic game because of "creative differences"? And isn't NiGHTS 2 just this year's 3D Sonic game? Isn't that the real reason there isn't an officially announced Sonic game in developement for the first time in who knows how long? Am I going to keep asking questions to bring my point across?

What does that even mean, "missing the point"? We shouldn't have sports video games?Delphine wrote:The Olympics are pretty cool, and videogames are pretty cool. Trying to shove them together means you're pretty much missing the point of both.
You want them to compete in various sports, but you don't like the idea of them competing in... the Olympics.God, this whole thing is stupid. Why couldn't it be "Mario vs. Sonic in various sports with a stupid title"?
I fail to see how these are mutually exclusive ideas. Why would this game negate Sonic being in Brawl?Or, you know, some sort of fighting game, a <i>brawl</i> if you will, that throws a bunch of different characters together in one game and allows you to pit them against each other.
