– Option to play as your Mii character returns
– Over 20 Olympic events

– In London Party mode: “The aim of the game is to collect stickers and fill sticker sheets before your opponents – a goal achieved by beating them in events and minigames that will be triggered as you roam through London.”
– The game features “great unlockable bonus content and online leaderboards”
– “Play every sport using only the Wii Remote or opt to use the Nunchuk for some events.”

I just pray that the freaking leaderboards don’t get hacked to bits.
That’s pretty much what’s gonnahappen. Happens with all games sooner or later. D:
it’s for the wii. so don’t worry! IT WILL
I garrentee that One of the best times will be 0:00:00. D:
Or -99:99:99. XD
If “great unlockable bonus content” means – but not limited to – unlockable characters, then I’m game.
We can be hopeful, but it’ll probably be the same as the winter olympics – Costumes for your Mii, Music, stickers, that sort of thing.
Unlockable Super Sonic? :3333
If there was, he would be close to impossible to beat.
Well, here’s how it’d work…
You’d play through the most important modes and get gold medals in everything, and possibly buy him from an in-game shop or complete more challenges, that’d unlock Super, but he’d take a loft of practice to master :3 he’d handle difficultly, but perform best when used properly.
Also, restrict him to non-online events, aaaand give the Mario fans Fire Mario!
Only 10 Dream Events? 10? This is what I was mostly looking foward to. 🙁
…..I am not getting this game anymore. I might get the 3ds version.
Remember Iizuka, or whoever it was said, “And now players will have a wider selection of Dream Events THAN EVER BEFORE!”
Now I know what I’m gonna get instead, mw3 xDD
I don’t get why the Wii version has over 30 events including the Dream Events, while the 3DS version has 50 events total :-S
I hate how they don’t specify how much. Over 20 could mean 25 or 40 or 9001…but it usualy means 20
I expect it will be just 2 or 3 over 20. They’re just saying over 20 to make it sound more appealing.
That’s really disappointing :/ I’ll still get the game though and see if it’s good…
awesome, looks like this Mario & Sonic Olympic Game is going to be way better then the other ones.
can’t wait to get it! ^^
people complain about the leaderboard but sonic generations the top time is resonable so i think sega got an upgrade for the leaderboard
Hm, this is wrapping up to look pretty nice… but I won’t buy it until the 3DS version comes out only because I need to see which turns out to be better, but the Wii version is looking good.
I will be getting this next week. Gonna trade some games in for it.
can you roam freely around london or on track?
free roam would be freaking awesome
in my opinion its kind of sad that wii owners just get this mario and sonic at the olympics a collection of minigame really lame and ps3 xbox 360 powerfull computers gets the sonic generations
10 dream events? What were they smoking? It´s obvious that the dream events are the best part of these games. Winter olympic games was around 60% dream events and even the regular events played like dream events minus item boxes. And then, in the London sequel, we revert back to minigame-esque events, extreme simplicity and just 10 freaking dream events? Not getting this, and it´s sad because I loved both versions of winter olympic games. Sega needs to ditch the Olympic games license and do a proper Mario and Sonic sports game: I don´t care if it´s racing, basketball, Mario Party, whatever works, just do a full Mario and Sonic game without the goddam olympic license holding back the game.
