Topic: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games - OT

I know this will never happen but I'd love to see Tikal from the sonic series get in, I could see her fitting in well.

All it needs is online.

No Golf on Wii U? That's really disappointing. Unless it's intentially because they're announcing a Mario Golf for Wii U at the E3.

If Nintendo announce a Mario Golf for Wii U, I'd want crosstalk between that and World Tour. So kind of like how Toadstool Tour and Advance Tour connectivity worked.

I'm pretty grateful for the sport separation as it adds more incentive to buy one or the other. Personally I LOATHE golf so I'm glad it isn't on the wiiu version. I think I might get this as my strikers fix until a real Strikers game comes out.

Hahaha same here

The addition of golf makes me interested in the 3DS version.

I've never actually played any of these games, so I guess I could try this(that) one.

Doesn't make it any fairer for the 3DS-only owners who love rugby and WiiU-only owners who love golf, or even people who don't want to waste money on two versions to play all sports.

Well now after the NoA micro direct we can say that won't be the case.

That doesn't necessarily stop them from spending too much time presenting the game and it's features at E3.

My predictions for the new characters on both teams. I'm gonna go ahead and guess there'll be 20 new characters, 10 on each team.

Since Zazz appears to be playable then that can only mean the rest of the Deadly Six are too

Team Sonic:

Zazz (confirmed)
Zomom
Zik
Zor
Zeena
Zavok
Rouge the Bat (confrmed)
Jet the Hawk (confirmed)
Espio the Chameleon
Charmy Bee

I'm guessing Espio and Charmy cause I've always found it strange that only 1 member of Team Chaotix, Vector, is playable in Mario & Sonic. But I could be wrong, perhaps they'll add Big the Cat or Cream the Rabbit instead.

And since I'm guessing Team Sonic is getting a huge boost in villains, I'm guessing the same for Team Mario:

Nabbit (confirmed)
Diddy Kong (confirmed)
Rosalina
Larry
Iggy
Lemmy
Morton
Wendy
Ludwig
Roy

Seems like a safe bet to me that Rosalina and the 7 Koopalings will join.

Never played one of those games before, but I'll get this one as long as I don't need to use wiimotes at all.

I really liked the Winter version for the Wii because it used the Balance Board. Fun times.

To me these games always seem half baked and thrown together. Here's hoping this one breaks the mold.

I hope that Rosalina wont appear in the rio one because she has been in plenty of games! Plus shes the worse ugliest female ever ! Worser than Daisy!

I hope Rosalina and Espio are both playable in this one.

Why are you guys excited about this? Its a poor poor crossover....get a hold of yourself!

Looks great! I like that air balloon of Sonic

I will be buying this
Why do people passionately care what characters are used in these games?

PS Is there a release date for Europe?
