I say this so often, but never in a million years did I dream that Sega would not only exit the console business, but partner up directly with Nintendo for decades to come. Mario and Sonic were so unilaterally ubiquitous with "video games" ...

I've already given my thoughts on Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020's bizarre and lovely story mode, but to most people, the minigames are what matters. Here's a full, official list. For reference, every single game is ...

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 arrives next month, and although these games are usually slept on by a lot of folks, this iteration has been getting a little more attention due to its Switch exclusivity and focus on retro ...

I usually write off Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games titles. It's not that I don't try them: I do! But the vast majority are mere diversions in an attempt to partake in that very lucrative Olympics budget. This time though Sega i...

There's been a wealth of famously good surfers over the years: Kelly Slater, Layne Beachley, The Joker in that one episode of Batman, but now you can add Nintendo's poster boy Mario, as the Italian superstar hits the waves in a short snippe...

I thought that by this point, I couldn't be surprised by the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games series. Each game has, traditionally, been a mini-game collection that tried too hard to copy the Wii Sports formula with diminishing return...

I'm not sure how many people stuck with Steep, but those folks must exist. Ubisoft's doing an expansion, Road to the Olympics, later this year. It'll have a separate story mode centered on a hopeful young athlete training "to reach the Olym...

We ran a news story last month about renewed efforts to make video games part of the programme for the Olympic Games in the future. According to the International Olympic Committee, most games would be an ill-fit."We want to promote non-dis...

The co-president of the Paris Olympic bid committee has told the Associated Press that they are reaching out to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and esports representatives about the potential for competitive gaming to feature as p...

Earlier this afternoon, I was joking with my roommate about the closing ceremony for the Rio Olympics that took place this evening. I told him with the summer games heading to Tokyo next, Mario should be in the portion of the show where the...

I had me some asthma as a kid. Nothing too major. I was able to run, jump, and play sports as kids are wont to do. But I did land in the emergency room twice with a case of not being able to breathe (both times triggered by a severe onset o...

There are two reasons I don't play Pokemon Go: 1) I can't afford a phone with more storage space and 2) I can't afford to keep my data turned on all the time. It ain't easy being broke as fuck. The latter came up and bit Japanese gymnast Ko...

No, we aren't having a mass fever dream -- that really is Bowser dancing with his rhythmic gymnastics clubs for a minute and a half. And gracefully, I might add. Look at the Koopa go! This is the first time in a long time that I haven't sh...

When many of the world's best athletes are in Rio de Janeiro for this summer's Olympics, many of the world's best eSports athletes will be there too. At this week's London Games Festival, the eGames were announced -- ostensibly an Olympics ...

We've known Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is debuting on Nintendo 3DS on March 18 for a while now, but a specific launch date for the Wii U version has been up in the air. Until today, anyway. As part of today's Ninte...

The prospect of Mario and Sonic appearing side by side in the same videogame was once a near-unthinkable fantasy. But it happened. Thanks to the demise of Sega's console business, the bitter rivals eventually put aside their differences and...

Uggggh... a new Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics is coming to the Wii U. Why am I not surprised? The game will take place in Sochi, Russia, the site of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, and will use a combination of Wii Remote Plus and...

Uhhhhhhhh... what? An Olympics tie-in? Now? Over two months since the Summer Games ended? I never thought I'd see the day when Sonic the Hedgehog was actually late for something! If it wasn't obvious, Archie Sonic the Hedgehog #242 is an ad...

I can’t throw a javelin. Well, I guess I technically can. But I can’t throw a javelin very well. Not even close to the level of one of the incredible athletes in the Olympic Games. In fact, I can’t do anything as well as t...

I love it when I'm able to show my creative headline-writing skills. See that final word up there? Yup, all me. Sega has announced the Wii release date for Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games: November 15 in North America, a...

Somehow, the IOC lets Mario, Sonic, and their friends skip the qualifiers for the Olympics every two years. So once again, Sega is developing an Olympic sports minigame collection whose mascot crossover might have been cool if the year wer...

Mario, Sonic and all their respective friends and enemies are back again in the mini-game collection based on the Olympic Games. There will be around 30 new events in the package plus some returning events from Mario & Sonic at the Olym...

We went back to the old format for this episode, and went through as much news as possible. I'm surprised that I was actually able to speak some words, as I'd been up for over 24 hours with almost no sleep. I blame you, awesome Epic Mickey...
