Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

By Martin on August 5, 2009

Yes, we all already know that, technically, Sonic would obviously win in a race. You don’t have to say it. Let’s just assume he’s putting on a good show for the punters. Or maybe he’s just got slightly out of shape after living the high life on the profits from those ten million sold units of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Whatever you thought of the game, it would be impossible to deny the immense mass-market potential furrowed within its inoffensive pearl-white casing. It turned out that a collection of accessible mini-games featuring two of the most recognisable characters in the industry was a recipe for immediate success. Who knew? It was also themed around an event the British turned out to be rather good at. Cracking work, Beijing!
