Mario and Sonic in Olympics
Now for the first time ever, after 15 years of off screen name calling and momma bashing, Sonic The Hedgehog and Mario (the plumber) are appearing in the same game. What better show of competition than to have the two most well known video game stars of all time battle it out on the 400yd dash (sonic for the win) or the triple jump (gold for mario). This NeoGAF message board summary basically puts it all into perspective: Mario vs. Sonic Olympic discussion summary. I think the biggest news from this is that there is more backing to the rumor that Sonic will be in the new Smash Bros.
Takes all me back to the good ole’ days of Nintendo vs. Sega (warning! very vulgar language!). Sonic was the sole reason I caved in and got a Sega Genesis and later a Game Gear. Strange that now Sega is kinda on Nintendo’s side now, in the new war of Nintendo vs Playstation vs Xbox, but that story is still being written on the playgrounds today.
