My retro heart has such a horrible time accepting the Mario and Sonic crew getting along the way they do in these Olympic crossover games. They can’t be getting along! They should be beating the crap out of each other! Bowser skiing with Mario? Blasphemy!
Of course, this game doesn’t appeal to the likes of me and looking at the game from a neutral standpoint, it does look kind of fun. The first one sold really well and there’s no doubt that this one will sell pretty good too. Two great franchises in one game equal massive dollars. Pure science, people.
Check out the new trailer and the huge gallery full of Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games images after the fold. The game will be out on October 13, 2009 for the Wii and DS.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I suppose the reason for why they didnt show Cross Country Skiing in that video, is because Norwegians arent a licensed character from Nintendo or Sega.
