    After all these years a game with both Sonic and Mario is being released! Check this out for all the info: http://www.nintendow...cfm?artid=13225

    For those of you who can't bother checking the link I provided here are the things you should know: the game will be released for Wii and DS and will be available for Holiday 2007. All of the most important Sonic and Mario characters will be playable(Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi, Tails...). Many Olympic disciplines will be included, as the title may suggest.

        It's just a ploy to make money around the time of the Olympics, with two characters 'and friends' thrown in. I'd rather buy one of the official games, the graphics and gameplay tend to be pretty good. I imagine Nintendo will try to make things interesting with abilities and such.

          Yeah but I still think Brawl would be a better game for crossing over Mario and Sonic's worlds. Not that I expect Tails or any other Sonic character to appear there but you get the picture right? :P

            The moment I saw this I thought of Brawl. What does this mean for Sonic in Brawl? Will he appear or will he not? I think he deffinately will.

            Anyhow, this game sounds interesting, but it just doesn't seem to be my kind of thing. I'll keep an eye out for it, but I never liked the Mario Sports.

              I thought this may happen one day, but I never expected it to be a game based around the Olympics. It's certainly surprising.

              Now that they have been given the perfect opportunity to meet at the Olympic Games, we may finally learn who is actually faster, Mario or Sonic?

              Ummm... Isn't the answer obvious?

                I think the game will be trash, as it will all just depend on the characters' attributes, not on in game skill. Everyone will want to be sonic if they're racing, mario for high jump etc.

                  At the moment, it does seem to be an advertisment for the Olympics and not a lot else. I think the game isn't that important, but it will allow other projects to be set up in the future.

                    I should point out that Nintendo AND Sega are both involved in the title, not to mention Miyamoto himself is also supervising the title.

                      It'll still be a sports game though. To be honest I don't think the world needs that many more from Mario, even if Sonic is included in this one.
                      EDIT: In saying that though, the fact that both Nintendo and Sega are working on it means there may be some new and interesting ideas. How they will explain Mario and Sonic being in Beijing will be interesting.

                        I'm just hoping that there won't be as many ".... the Hedgehog" characters cause they annoy me as hell. I still think it's an intressting idea though, since I always wanted a sort of Mario Olympics game to cut down on all the Mario Sports we had on the GameCube.
