Mario and Sonic in the Same Game!? The World is Coming to an End

Those of you that can remember back to the golden yester-years of gaming, back when Mortal Kombat had green blood and Mario had made his first RPG. You can surely remember the long-standing rivalry between Sega and its hedgehog, Sonic, and Nintendo’s good old Italian plumber, Mario. Now, with Sega becoming a software-only company, they’ve apparently put their old differences aside to make a single game where both plumber and hyper-sonic hedgehog, can live in peace. The game, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, is no doubt inspired by the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games, and in fact has games associated directly with said Olympics. This could end up being one of the most popular games of all time, combining the lovable characters of Mario and Sonic, plus all their supporting cast, and throwing them into a Wii Sports-like environment could spell BIG bucks for both companies

Here’s hoping there’s an Olympic boxing game, so we can finally pit the two greatest rivals against each other in a huge punch-fest. Hey, it may not be a Mugen, but it sure would be fun.

      Since I’ve always been a Sega man this news are devastating. But I guess you could argue that my Sega fandom died at the time Sega left the Hardware business.

      This was bound to happen at some point…

      What ever happened to our Sega…?
      We are sad it’s gone… but it’s gone.

      I would disagree, I think thisis the moment both Nintendo and Sega fans have been waiting for over 20 years! The battle of the legendary heroes, however it will be even better when they announce Sonic for SSBB, which I really hope they do. If they dont I promise to punch someone.

      This is a good chance for good sportsmanship and a very healthy way to show who’s the best without having to use some nasty flamethrower fireflower or spindashing through someone. Besides, I can guess that sometime in the future, maybe some Smash Brothers sequel might just feature the punching-goods!

      dude, this is no world ending, but is rather, a boost. Sega may be out, but Since sonic the hedgehog is still around, i believe, that someday, a new kind of sega will come

      Well, Sega Vintage has made it to XBL Arcade already and I couldn’t be happier about it.
