It must be pretty cold in hell right now, and watch out for flying pigs.
Mario and Sonic to appear in a video game together.

Sega and Nintendo have joined forces for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

In the game players will compete in various events that take place at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games using a cast from both the Mario and Sonic worlds.

Confirmed characters are Mario, Sonic, Luigi, Knuckles, Yoshi and Tails, though I'm sure more will be in the game as well. And yes, there will be a 100m sprint that pits Mario against Sonic. Other sports mentioned in the (press) release are table tennis and swimming.

For a moment, I thought this post was going to confirm that Sonic will show up in Smash Brothers. My friend is a rabid Sonic fanatic and mentions the rumor every once in a while. She'll be buying this one too.

Oh, good, I wasn't the only one. I've been hearing that rumor all over the place with the new Wii version coming out.

I want this game. I just hope it won't suck like other Olympics-themed games.

Someone on my friends list mentioned that Sonic has all the advantage here, except on the swimming levels. That would be a cinch for Mario. XD

It's gonna be really bad for Sonic's rep if the short, fat italian plumber can keep up with him in the 100m sprint.

Wait a sec... off-topic but, are those two guys in your icon the two guys I think they are?

They are if you're thinking they're Matt Hardy and Christian.

Love your icon. Samoa Joe is great.

Yeah, that's who I thought they were. For my next question, where the heck did you find that picture anyway?

(I'd have replied to this with my other wrestling icon, but I'm out of icon space on here.)

Buying it, totally.

At least, the DS version I'll buy. *lacks a Wii, walrusface*

I remember hearing years ago in EGM that Sega and Nintendo were planning to team up when the DreamCast was around.

Kudos to them. ^^

It seems like every new day brings another new reason to want to marry my Wii.
