Detective Shadzter Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I'd certainly bet on it- the last games had leaderboards and also had the logo. Hopefully though we'll get online play. Not likely, but with the improved online system for the 3DS I really want it. Agreed. I was annoyed with being restricted to online leaderboards on both versions of the first two games, so I'm hoping they'll finally add more online features this time around. Party games are much better in local multiplayer, but I think they can still be fun online, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Blood Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Agreed.

Party games are much better in local multiplayer, but I think they can still be fun online, too. Especially considering that the 3DS has voice chat, some M&S parties between SSMBers could be great fun. Shame it's most likely not going to happen.

Detective Shadzter Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 More retailer speculation ShopTo.net has the game down for a 02/03/2012 release date. Both versions are available for pre-order and are priced at £31.85. http://www.shopto.net/WII/NEW%20RELEASES/WIIMA24-Mario%20and%20Sonic%20at%20the%20London%202012%20Olympic%20Games.html http://www.shopto.net/3DS/NEW%20RELEASES/3DSMA03-Mario%20and%20Sonic%20at%20the%20London%202012%20Olympic%20Games.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the only retailer listing Generations at the moment, too. EDIT: Scratch that- Play.com have Generations as well. Still, it's fast of both of them. EDIT: Well nevermind what I said about Generations. The GAME group now has it. Edited April 22, 2011 by Blue Blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor MK Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 ShopTo.net has the game down for a 02/03/2012 release date. March? That's gotta be wrong. I mean, would SEGA really pass up the opportunity to release two new games in its best-selling franchise at Christmas, the time when people spend like they have more money than sense? Especially if they're releasing Generations on 360/PS3 at the same, us Wii owners are going to feel a bit left out over the holiday season otherwise... I'm guessing a Q4 2011 release, just like the last two (excluding the DS version of the original, oddly). Olympics was released in November 2007 and Winter Olympics was released in October 2009. I very much doubt they'll buck that trend now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFenix Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Where's my CG trailer, Sega?! Seriously, are they gonna show us something besides a couple of artworks and basic info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEGAMew Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 So um... when I read that there will be equestrian events, I kinda hope Sonic will come riding in on Rainbow Dash.... XD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Vest Friend Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I hope that with equestrian, they back off the realism a little and treat the horses like Crash Bash treated it's polar bears/dino-dragons. That had some big blokes on little steeds too, they just made fun of it by making the bears sound like it was groaning in pain every time it jumped. Also make the horses more cartoony than normal.

DaN Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Don't worry guys, E3 will bring us new characters, I just feel it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octarine Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Woah, totally late to the party on this one. No new characters... I guess the roster from the last game was pretty respectable, but I was confident that we'd at least be getting Rouge (since she's the most important Sonic character not to have been included yet and she has a model lying around) and Diddy Kong (to cash in on DKCR fans, I guess). I'm sure that we'll get more characters as rivals or in the story mode or whatever, but that's still a bit of a bummer. ...oh god, horse-riding. This has so much potential to be hilarious.

DaN Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Blaze riding a horse would be really proud I hope they give new outfits for Amy, Blaze and (hopefully) Rouge. Anyway, still pretty sure SEGA will fill the remainig Power, All Around, Skill, Speed slots... I'm going to push Rouge more than ever. What about putting Rouge as a Power type? and maybe then Jet or Espio could fit as All Around. I don't know, I just think that Rouge (All Around) and Big (Power) would be the best choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcello Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Espio would be fine as skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaN Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Espio would be fine as skill. yeah but Sonic Team already has Silver as Skill, the Skill slot is for Mario side now. If you allow me to dream a little bit, I'd like to see Speed Sonic, Shadow,Metal Sonic, Blaze, Classic Sonic Power Knuckles, Vector, Big, Omega, Chaos 0 All Around Espio, Jet, Amy, Rouge, Shade Skill Eggman, Tails, Wave, Cream, Silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFenix Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Am I the only one who wants to see Shade? She looked like a promising character in chronicles and besides there was some reference to the game in the Winter Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diquro Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) SEGA + Nintendo meeting: Satoru: Ok, it's time to bring Sonic and Mario together... But how? SEGA Executive 1: Make it a adventure game where Eggman and Bowser join forces an- Satoru: Na, won't work. Nintendo Executive 1: How's about a puzzle game were Sonic and Mario have to find the spagetti pizz- Satoru: I like where your coming from but, no. (Pause) SEGA Executive 2: ... Olympics?

dabbido Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Still surprised there is no CGI trailer yet...and that date must be a mistake, it always comes out by the end of the year. Do you guys think we will get an "equestrian subsection" ? including Equestrian Dressage, Equestrian Eventing and Equestrian Jumping? I guess we could also get a cycling subsection since theres many varieties. ...Yeah I dont even know what to talk about since theres no more info By the way heres my two cents: -Team Mario: -Diddy Kong - Speed -Rosalina - Skill Team Sonic: -Rouge - All Around -Big - Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSF1991 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 My guess is that a trailer will debut around E3. If it's earlier than that then perhaps it could be released sometime next month. It sounds to me like Sega's focusing more on Generations at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, obviously you missed my post on the first page where I made myself look like a jerk, not that that's a bad thing though, but anyway I too would like to see Shade in this game. March? That's gotta be wrong.

Especially if they're releasing Generations on 360/PS3 at the same, us Wii owners are going to feel a bit left out over the holiday season otherwise... Well let me ask you this, would you rather Sega release a rushed clunky game for the holiday season? Or would you rather Sega release a polished smooth game next March? I'll take the latter.

You DO have a point there my friend! I really dont think that extra time would make that much of a difference though, plus the wii owners will really feel left out this holiday season. I mean the fact that Generations wont be in the wii is bad enough. I would love a polished game though. But I think its a false date because SEGA is just lazy and because they would lose a golden opportunity. I really hope they will make us unlock characters / events / stuff. Cause having all characters from the start is nice, but its just awesome to say "yay I unlocked X character" or maybe its just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
