Looks interesting. But those graphics are absolutely gross. You would think a game like this would utilize a lot of the Wii's true power.

I think the graphics look fine--on par with most of Nintendo's more simplistic games of this ilk. These kinds of games are more about the gameplay than the graphics anyway.

What I'm more concerned about is why Mario and Sonic are crossing the finish line at the same time....Sonic is clearly MUCH faster than Mario ;)

Thank you Jah...I'm so Blessed
The game looks alright to me....I could imagine the online play of this thing...huge(but this is nintendo)


What is really interesting to me is will they make these characters different from one another.....browser better at field event...sonic got the track lock down. I really don't want to see the fatman being the all around balanced guy once again when his bro. could/should have better stats than him.

Mario looks like his winning that race.....bunch of crap.

Realistically, this is like The Flash vs Superman at the olympics. Sonic should win anything speed related, and Mario anything strength related (we're talking about a guy who can kill the sun with a turtle shell).

Anyway...what's Robotnik/Eggman doing on foot? The guy ALWAYS uses a hovering vehicle. Watching him run is...not pretty.

The screens are low res but assuming I don't see huge blocks at 640x480 the graphics don't look bad at all.

Doesn't look great....but not terrible. Fine for the Wii....I can't see this being a graphicly power house for the Wii.

Metriod Prime 3, Mario Galaxy...not Mario+Sonic

nice. looks good. and no complaints about the graphics, if the gameplay is nice, graphics won't get too much complaints. but i was hoping for a full out preview video.

So long as it's fun and can be better than Smash Bros or Mario Football in multiplayer (doubtful) I'll look into it. Probably the DS version for portability.

I'm curious about this... How do the controls work for a game like this? Especially the running events? Do you just swing your arms back and forth? :confused:

Probably just like RE:4 and Warioware.....shake the controller violently up and down/ side ot side, probably to simulate the stamina it takes to run around a track.

Does anyone else see anything wrong with this?
