Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

I have a good "news" (for the series) and a bad news (for this game).

The good "news" is that, looking at the staff in the Wiki, I could confirm that Marza Animation Planet worked on the intro of all the first three home console Mario & Sonic games (which would also explain why Nintendo went to them to have 3D models for artwork and not someone else - they were collaborating with them since 2008 for this series and probably were impressed by their intros).
The bad news is that Marza is nowhere to be found in the credits of the Wii U version of this game...
 
What are you talking about? It's obviously pre-rendered. Why would they use the limitations of the Wii U hardware for creating pre-rendered cutscenes?
 

wow, they really nailed his character in this game
 
By the way,
when you win all level 3 tournaments you can use in all tournaments characters from Team Mario and Team Sonic, and they replace your Mii on Copacabana Beach until the Tournament ends becoming directly controllable, making this the first game where you can actually freely roam around on foot and talk to other characters with Larry and Wendy (I'm not sure if this is the first game for :bowjr: too, as I don't remember if he's freely controllable in some hub world of some obscure Mario game I don't know about). Yahoo! 8)
 

has this been done yet?

Oh my gosh im SOOOOO excited for this game. im going to purchase when i get enough money:

Meanwhile, while I was talking to everyone to the point that a special line of dialogue was triggered

(the Mii is saying "I will follow your example and make the first move! From now on, I will approach people and buttonhole them!")



I found the next chapter in the "Wario & Waluigi the not-siblings" series

(The Mii says ""Wario and Waluigi have many things in common, but are not siblings. They resemble each other and have the passion for devising diabolical plans." Just for the sake of completeness, the dialogue then goes on with this line:"Immagino che per far sempre comunella così, abbiano frequentato la stessa scuola di cattivi.." that pretty much translates to "I guess that to always form such a clique, they must have attended the same bad-guys school...")
 
Yes, the game was fully localized in Italian, which includes also the dubbing of the voices of characters from the Sonic universe and of the announcer.
