Sega and Atlus have shared their line-up and show floor activity plans for E3 2019, revealing that they will include the Switch-exclusive Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
Yes, the latest in the Mario and Sonic crossover series will be present on the show floor, with attendees getting the chance to go hands-on with the game for the very first time. We haven't heard all that much about this one since its reveal in March, so hopefully we'll get a good look at its gameplay over the course of the week.
The Sega Mega Drive Mini (or Genesis Mini, if you must) will be playable ahead of its release in Sega's retro-themed corner at the show, and those attending will also be able to check out a Catherine: Full Body Experience, Judgment, Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth and more.
That's not all, either. If you do happen to be lucky enough to be visiting E3, you'll get the chance to pick up various bits of Sega swag including retro t-shirts that are sure to go down well. There's even going to be an indoor rock-climbing wall, because why not?

Speaking about 100 m Dash...
Where is your game (Hyper Sports R) , Konami ?!
I'm morbidly curious as to what the Catherine experience entails.
I'm oddly excited for Mario and Sonic.
I hoped the Sega booth would have more for Nintendo fans, but this is great nonetheless
Featuring Jim Carrey as Dr. Eggman, and the voice and likeness of Pennywise the Clown in the role of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Now if they'll just announce the Sega CD & 32X add ons for the Sega Genesis Mini, just like the Mega Drive Mini.
@AxeltheCorvikni Missed all the controversy, did you?
@HikaruKitsune I genuinely had no idea about all this until I looked it up. Honestly I'm just more curious now, as to what their E3 experience will be like.
Sega should have a good showing, since they've been secretly working on new Sonic games and since they hinted at something in the Monkey ball series. Honestly, still waiting for them to bring Alien Isolation over to the switch too, was a great Alien title on the PS4, here's to hoping for it on Switch!!! As for Mario and Sonic, hopefully it turns out good!
All I want is dream events to return. If they don't come back and it's instead all real-life events again, I won't bother buying the game.
i really do hope that were not restricted to just the joy cons in Mario & Sonic
make the new Sonic game just called Sonic make it 3d FORCES WAS OK BUT I WANT A GOOD 3D SONIC GAME
Nice. Been a while since we got an Olympic Games title, thanks to Sega dropping support for the Winter Games (or so I heard).
Sonic and Mario at the... YAWWWWNNN sorry, where was I? 😴
Not gonna lie... mario and sonic is day one!! Take my money
Surprised they haven't done a Mario & Sonic Party yet
@Tarolusa Definitely. I miss the Dream Events. M&S @ Rio was really lacking in good events. I still enjoyed it, but nowhere near as much as London or Sochi.
A shame there's no pleasant surprise for RPG/SRPG fans like last year's Valkyria Chronicles 4 from Sega this year. A new Shining Force (or HD remake of SF III), Phantasy Star, Dragon Force, Skies of Arcadia, or any number of other long-dormant but still beloved (and requested to no avail) Sega IPs would've made the show for me. Not that Super Monkey Ball isn't nice to see return, but it's not even close to being on the same level, at least for me. Sigh, maybe next year...
If I could go through just one day without seeing the disturbing naked Link article at the bottom of my game news it would be nice
Cool, I'm interested in seeing gameplay for Mario & Sonic. More Dream Events, please!
Olympic games? ZZZzzzz
Well I want to know more about the Western Release of Judgement. I kinda want to import the original since it had all the news fiascco about drug usage.
Mario n Sonic olympic games, wow been awhile.
Hope they do a winter olympic one
@Mr_Persona I think the Winter games make for much better video games than their Summer counterparts. So I was really disappointed when they skipped 2018. I'm glad the series is back and I'll probably buy this new one, but I really hope we get a 2022 Winter games (even though that is a long wait).
I might get the game but I would go for the T Shirt
@Anti-Matter ...Do you REALLY want Konami at E3?
@ForgottenArctic I want to see the Konami track and field. It did look good. Sonic and mario used a more traditional button layout though which I loved. I'm hoping that it's still that way.
@sixrings I meant that Konami's E3 performances are weird! Remember 2010?
@ForgottenArctic
Yes.
Konami has announced Hyper Sports R last year, hopefully they still remember with their games.
But i really want to see Dance Dance Revolution on Nintendo Switch by Konami since i'm a huge fan of DDR.
Konami has released their newest DDR Arcade machine: Dance Dance Revolution A20 as 20th Anniversary of DDR since October 1998.
@Anti-Matter I meant that Konami's E3 performances can be on the weird side. Is DDR coming to Switch?
@ForgottenArctic
I have no idea.
The latest DDR on home console was DDR II on Wii, based on DDR X2 Arcade.
Looks like Konami leaves home console market and focus on Arcade machines and mobile games.
But who know if Konami suddenly announce their DDR on home console again.
@Anti-Matter I don't know. We can just hope for the best.
@TheFox
Yeah the winter ones were always fun so I do hope they will have winter olympic games come out on the switch besides the summer one.
@SMW Agreed, btw the winter games versions were the better games anyway, witch the DS version of Vancouver 2010 standing out with a great adventure mode with those dream evens... hope beijing 2022 will provide some fun)
Wait... Nintendo and Atlus? Does that mean... YOULL NEVER SEE IT COMING
