Above we have the first video (recorded by Arcade Heroes) from the IAAPA 2015 arcade event showcasing the arcade version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games already translated in full English.
The video shows off the current roster of playable characters which at the moment are your expected norm, being Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Eggman, and Shadow for the Sonic-side. As well as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Wario, and Yoshi on the Mario-side.
We also have a look at four activities in the game (100m, Archery, Hammer Throw, and Javelin Throw), the same four already known of before in an earlier report (which talked about the controls of each event). Each starts off with a tutorial screen that can be skipped.
There will be two different cabinet releases; one with 4-player support which is shown in the video with the overhead displays and screens, and a 2-player version without the extra displays.
The arcade version actually indeed runs on Sega’s Nu arcade hardware, which is more or less a revision of Ring Edge 2.
The arcade version is set for January or February 2016 in the US. The 3DS version is only scheduled for a February 18 2016 release in Japan, while the Wii U version has no date as of yet.
Interesting. Too bad there are no dream events. Those are a lot of fun.
Keep in mind that this is the arcade version and it may not even be the full game that was shown.
Still… The dream events have always been the best part of the series for me and probably other people l.
I see the ol’ SEGA Sports team still doesn’t have access to Sonic Team’s side mouth technology.
Huh. Seems interesting. I mean, its probably never going to come to America, but it still looks cool, eh?
Someone didn’t watch the video confirmed. 😛
(I thought I added US to the date. Fixed).
It was after school and I didn’t have any headphones on hand! Forgive me, O Hero of Legend! 😛
(Very exciting, will have to check it out. Glad you fixed the article either way.)
No worries! 🙂
Ew.
Funny you wasted time to come here just to post a negative comment…
Shame SEGAWorld UK/FunLand shutted down years ago… Would love to go to a Arcade to play this when it becomes public…
must…resist….making…obvious…Street Fighter reference…
i love the music in the video and also i love how SEGA give us a release date for the arcade in the US finally.
The song is “man sieht sich galaxie”, a Commander Keen IV OCReMix. It took me forever to figure it out because I KNOW I’ve heard it before.
so thats what its called wow you know that song looks awesome thanks for giving me the info 😀
No Blaze, no happiness.
Hope they release more stuff in the future.
I can’t wait for the Wii U and 3DS Version Come Out!
