Well the Mario characters never exactly had character development. And the ones that have personally are very common

I chuckled at the fact that "plumber" is now a type of species.

If by bland, you mean the characters are not extremely obnoxious to the point that many wish on their gruesome deaths or at least their voice boxes ripped from their throats...

...then I agree.

Look like Mario & Sonic will be at mini-E3 but behind close doors.

It will probably be reveal anyway seeing that SSBB was also shown behind closed doors last year.

And WOW! at the Symphonia sequel and possible Kid Icarus game for Wii.

I think by bland he meant they don't have as many "unique" abiltiies as the Sonic characters. Most of the Sonic cast have natural abilities (speed, flight, strength, telekenisis and erm... hammer time), while the Mario cast usually rely on items otherwise they mostly jump and that's it. It's all a bit unfair for the Nintendo cast, so I'll be interested to see how they balance it all out.

But the Sonic characters have gotten too "X-men" for my taste. Seriously, telekinesis was the last straw guys. We don't even get an explanation for it. I'd settle for a kind of Stan Lee science, "bombarded by gamma rays" or "bitten by a radiactive space monkey".

I think we're supposed to believe telekinesis and Blaze's fire pants are the norm in the future.

Sans Luigi, Daisy, and Wario, they don't. But at least they are as not a squawky as Sonic and co. I think I'll take a very few amount of voice clips or jibberish language over badly spoken dialouge from a poorly written *****.

Huh? Have you ever played any of the Mario RPG or SSB games? They automatically give the Mario characters such as fire power for Mario for example without the use of a fire flower. Their abilities are usually adjusted depending on the game. I think they have specific ablities in the sports games also.

EDIT: Why is s-c-r-i-p-t censored?

When I said that the Mario characters are bland, I mean that they receieve no character development in there games. The Mario characters that do recieve C.D. are usually one time characters anyway.

There is no real character development in the Sonic franchise nowadays either(see the Flanderization of the main reoccuring characters). And if it is presented in a really hokey manner.

It looks like A Mario sports title minus the wacky settings. Mario, Sonic, and the rest of them seems so...out of place. =p

Aww c'mon Bowser wont stand a chance at running. Though Eggman was pretty funny bent over like that. lol

So we now know that Peach, Eggman, and Bowser are in the game. Cream seems to play the role as referee.

So we have toads, koopas, and yoshis in the audience. I don't see any Sonic characters though.

Eggman is the man at short distance running, look at him in Sonic 2!

Also Mario might have used a Speed up monitor :crazy :

From what I saw from the E3 footage...man, of course Sonic is leaving everyone in the dust...but so is Mario. I understand it's to set them apart as the main characters, but still...I never thought the day would come I'd see Mario and Sonic together, let alone running side-by-side.

You know how they have sponsors of the Olympics on billboards and stuff?

Don't you think it would be cool if they did it here but for other Nintendo and Sega characters?

Ex:
"Eat at Kirby's"
"Sleeping in a NiGHTS' bed will give you pleasant dreams"
"Chao in Space III: Featuring Petey Pirahna"

LAME! Mario obviously switched Sonic's shoes with his labrynth ones, it's just like that old (really old) Archie comic issue where Robotnik does the same when Sonic enters his version of the Olympics.

For a short, fat plumber, Mario sure is fast.

Hahaha see what happened is Sonic is actually running 500m while Mario just does a 100m. Mario's still a bit too close. >_> But yes ads, would be super neat. =]

IGN has info on how to game works.

Quote:


Of course, we saw Dr Eggman run his ball shaped torso fast enough to beat the World Record for the 100 meter dash with no problem, so these goals might not be much of a challenge.


What the heck? Eggman has super speed.

Quote:


Nintendo certainly has a large selection of available characters, though Sega may have to scrape the barrel if they want to add many more. Big the Cat anyone?


LOL Look like Jack DeVries hasn't play a Sonic in a loooong time.

Yea he hasn't. Now this is Sega'a perfect time to throw in some retro cameos. Or Sega being Sega...just create more characters. u_u

Scrape the bottom of the barrel? Wow. Or they could just look at the cover of issue 125 for a few ideas.

Stats have beeon confirmed along with Amy Rose

Mario (All-around)
Peach (Technical)
Yoshi (Speed)
Bowser (Power)
Sonic (Speed)
Knuckles (Power)
Tails (Technical)
Amy (All-around)

All in all, it looks pretty accurate. I wonder if Yoshi will be able to keep up with Sonic. He is the fastest Mario character. lol

Two of the biggest icons in the entertainment industry, Mario and Sonic, are joining forces to star in Mario & Sonic at the
Olympic Games. Developed exclusively for the Wii video game system and the Nintendo DS system, this momentous agreement marks the first time these two renowned stars have appeared together in a game.

Featuring an all-star cast of characters from the amazing worlds of both Mario and Sonic, players will be able to compete as or against a range of familiar characters including Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi, Tails and more. Innovative usage of the Wii and DS control systems to maneuver your favorite character will allow players to race the likes of Mario and Sonic down the 100m track, leap over the high jump or churn water in a swimming heat, all while competing for the much sought after Olympic gold medal. With up to four players on the Wii and on the DS, the stage is set to catch the fever this holiday with Mario and Sonic.

Key Features
Compete in stylized Olympic venues with authentic events to choose from including track & field, archery, skeet shooting, table tennis, gymnastics and more.

Unlockable stages where familiar items from the worlds of Mario and Sonic enhance the challenge of each unique event.

Miyamoto on 1:1 Sword Fighting Game

He also pointed to Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games as a project that may potentially include such a feature. "There will be some fencing in Mario & Sonic at the Olympics. I don't know if I'm supposed to say that, so if I'm not, I'm very sorry, SEGA," he said, laughing.
