Well this should be interesting. Mario and Sonic will finally, after all these years, appear in a game together and it’s not Smash Bros. Brawl (yet). Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games will pit Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi, Tails and other, as-yet unannounced competitors, against each other. So far we know that they’ll compete in swimming, ping pong (table tennis, for the heathen), track events, and more for the game’s Christmas release.

Mario & Sonic is being developed by Sega, although there’s no word yet on which of their internal teams gets the responsibility, and will be available on DS and Wii. All over the internet, prayers of “Please be good, please be good” are floating to the heavens.

If Daisy doesn’t get Wario to break Amy’s knee with a lead pipe, I’m going to be very let down.
