Mario & Sonic at the Derpa Derp Derka Jihad

[Keith Stack]

So I was flippin' through the recent issue of Nintendo Powa when I came across an article on Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games, and since I had nothing better to do at that moment.

Apparently the new game will have some sort of RPG-esque story mode with a story line, which might mean we'll get to see Mario and Sonic characters actually interacting this time. I look forward to watching clips of these occurances on YouTube in the future.

From the topic title, I thought this was going to be something like this

Only with Mario and Sonic.

Dammit Myst, that has to be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in my life. It's like Sesame Street for Hitler's Youth.

I knew what Myst was talking about before I even clicked on the link.

And Keith, that article refers to the DS version which will have the RPG-mode, not the Wii one. Maybe it will be similar to Mario Golf: Advance Tour.

RPG Mode? Could this be a step towards, a game where Mario and Sonic team up to fight Bowser and Dr. Contingency?

There are new adventure mode screens: http://www.tssznews.com/2009/06/03/21-new-ms-winter-olympics-ds-screenshots/

Is it just me, or is there absolutely no sign of Bowser in this game?

[Jessica HawlSera]

Early Screenshots, there's really not any signs of many people at this point.

I assumed the trailer would feature the main villain of the Mario series.

They show Robotnik teaming up with Wario at one point, and then quickly show him alongside Metal Sonic and Waluigi, when it would seem more sensical to pair him up with the other series' big villain.

SEEMS A LITTLE FISHY TO ME IS ALL.

[Jessica HawlSera]

Didn't know there way a Trailer, Robotnik teaming up with Wario makes sense as both are fat and evil, but if there isn't Bowser this game AUTOMATICALLY FAILS.

[Keith Stack]

Oh wait, Bowser is in the trailer, my bad.
