Super Mario Galaxy Orbits London 2012 Olympic Games

Wait... WHAT?!

Oh my head...

LOVE un Petey Piranha !
It will be interesting to see how this part turns out and maybe it brings us one stop closer to a true Mario & Sonic platformer.

And the connection to Olympic Games is...?

A game within a game within a game?

It's probably like the "Perfect Chaos On Ice!" battle from the last game... only in space.

When did Competitive Self-Powered Space Flight Plant Bashing become an Olympic sport???

I mean, I've been competing in local tournaments for years, but I never thought it'd reach international recognition so soon... and I thought I would have heard about it from some place other than Nintendo Life...

So when is the real event gonna happen in London?

That's not Petey Piranha. That's Dino Piranha.

Still, that looks pretty neat. I'm surely getting this at some point, if not at launch!

Drean event gone wild?! That is very cool.

Too bad NGamer didn't have their hands on this shot back then...

Looks like I need more money now >.<

I, for one, don't like the crossovers. Sonic & company just don't fit comfortably alongside Mario-verse characters, in my mind.

woooaaah

@NintyFan

does it matter they're both giant plants. Whats the diference.

Haha, now this is what Olympic games should be all about.

having seen clips of this game, some of the events aren't necessarily olympic related, rather they have a mario/sonic twist or theme to them. which is really neat. it would be great however if we got a mario and sonic platformer, or even a smash bros- style fighter but with SEGA characters, as well as nintendo ones for a change.

I hate to see Sega in the world of Mario , it feels like it lost exclusivity .

That's.... just weird.

GAMECEPTION.

Super Mario _&Sonic Galaxy
I'll buy it

how odd, never saw anything like that last time I was in London

How bout a Mario and Sonic game that's not at the Olympics.

I thought this would be an easy pass, but I kinda want to rent it now.

I must admit that it's kind of cool seeing Mario fly across the galaxy with Sonic...

I think I know what nintendo and sega are doing, Instead of making an "olympic game" game with mario and sonic characters thrown in, They're making a game to see what it would be like if the olympics were in THEIR universe... makes sense?

I hope this brings us a step closer to a Mario and Sonic cross-over platformer, I would much rather have that instead of another olympics game.

Well seems like Sonic should be Third Party Exclusive for Nintendo since it does better and has more games on Nintendo Platforms.
Dino Piranha coo

Sigh... now I really wish they would release that Mario/Sonic platformer crossover instead of releasing tons of olympic stuff over the last 6 years...

Why can't the real Olympic Games be more like this?

I'm actually considering getting the 3DS version of this.

Atleast we get a little taste of a Mario And Sonic platformer

I'm focused on Mario 3D Land now... maybe later Mario & Sonic!

Gahhh!!! SEGA and Nintendo - stop teasing us and make the epic Mario & Sonic adventure game you know we all want!

@30 - I often think what would happen if Nintendo bought SEGA. Honestly, I think Nintendo would make a better Sonic game than SEGA themselves...

i might just buy it.. as long as this is on the 3DS version

Yeah from what I read at an interview article at The Sonic Stadium the only reason Mario and Sonic could be in a game together was only due to a major event like the Olympics, though anyways I wouldn't mind seeing Sonic used as a partner in one of the Paper Mario RPG games, yeah I know that's not that major a spotlight role for Sonic but at least it would have him and Mario working together in something other than Olympic games and with a better story than the Adventure Tours story modes in the handheld versions of these games, plus since Sonic's chatty anyway like the Paper Mario partners, well you'd at least have to admit that's a better idea for a Mario Sonic crossover than a bunch of sports minigames.
