Mario and Sonic Demo Now Available on Japanese E-Shop
Sega has just released a Mario and Sonic at the Olympics Tokyo 2020 demo onto the Japanese E-Shop. The demo is in full English and contains seven events. Five from the normal, Olympic games and two from the Tokyo 1964 mode. The events include 110m Hurdles, Surfing, Karate, Badminton and Archery on the Olympics side, along with Long Jump and 10m Platform Diving on the 1964 side. You can play as Mario, Sonic, Bowser, and Dr, Eggman in the Olympic events or just Mario and Sonic in the 1964 events. You can also add an analog mode to the 1964 events to give it that CRT TV look.
While you’re on the Japanese E-Shop, be sure to check out the demo for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz too as Sonic will be a bonus character in the game.
Mario and Sonic at the Olympics Tokyo 2020 will be available on November 5th in the U.S. and November 8th in Europe.
