The snappily titled Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games may have been released on the Wii U last year, but the actual event it's licensed for is only now getting ready to kick off. To celebrate Nintendo of Europe is running a 30% discount on the Wii U eShop from tomorrow (7th February) until 23:59 on 9th February.

No actual prices are given, so with the power of mathematics we can say it should be £28 / €35, reduced from £39.99 / €49.99.

It's the latest in the popular sub-series in which the former foes team up, and includes standard events from the Winter Olympics, Dream Events that add a little videogame craziness, and some online play for those that are particularly competitive; it utilises both GamePad and Wii Remote controls depending on the events.

We rated this one as "not bad" in our Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games review, awarding 6/10 while highlighting that it's a fun multiplayer experience, in particular, if not quite fulfilling its potential.
