Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

In case someone was wondering, they reorchestrated Super Bell Hill's theme. With a symphony orchestra, this time.
Among all the negative announcements, at least one good thing returned!
Also, SEGA is finally starting to discover that a story mode wouldn't be out of place in the home console version. Any chance for 2020?

I am disappointed that I did not get addressed in the same honor my twin sister had.

Once I see Mario in there, I'm gonna get that video and take some frames and then convert it into GIF and it will be delicious.

How could I forget? At the moment it is the 3DS version, but still better than nothing...
 
This game is shaping up to be pretty good. I do not know if motion controls are available for each mode, but it's cool that button controls are at least available. It's a shame that Dream events are not present this time, though.

I admired how beautiful the victory celebrations look. Here are some videos:



For the most part, they are reused from Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games, but there are a few new ones triggered through team ups with Guest characters (them being Diddy, Jet and Toad). Notably, Rouge is not used despite being in one (Volleyball). Note that other guest characters cannot possibly have team victories, because they are in single events, most notably Rosalina (Gymnastics).

Does this mean we get to see breakdancing Weegee again?

How is that a bad thing?
 
Seriously what is happening lately.

Literally of the Mario cast , Mario is the only one with an actual long sentence worthy to be a 1st place quote.

The others are like ''ok'' and ''yay''

ARENT YOU GLAD YOU PLACED FIRST YOU LAZY BUM?????

God Nintendo can be so stupid nowadays...
 
It's especially jarring to see the Sonic characters (the characters that often do speak in sentences) also utter only "yay" or "hurray".
 
I thought it was interesting to hear that Sonic's cast spoke in Japanese in the Japanese version, while the Mario characters all spoke English no matter the region.

Truth be told, the Team Sonic characters' and even the host's voices are actually fully localized in those games since at least Sonic Generations, so in the Italian version you can hear all the Team Sonic characters speaking in Italian (look here: http://www.olympicvideogames.com/it_IT/see-the-events.html).
Nintendo simply has a different policy, but yes, I find it funny to see games in which the two different policies are juxtaposed!
 
Nintendo just does it logically

Their characters barely speak , why would they waste money into making them speak in different languages?

The other side is that Nintendo characters , for the most part , have a very distinct voice that makes them stay iconic.

Mario's voice is extremely special and unique to him , known by the entire world for example.
 
And anyway, Charles Martinet can make Mario speak Spanish if he wanted to. He did it in a Spanish commercial once.
