The idiot who puts things in the wrong board.
Just announced via the Direct.

5 full sports in one.

the wii u being dead is exactly why it won't be on that.

Now obviously these sports won't be as feature filled as their individual series but it should be fun to play at least.

Lord knows I could use some more Mario baseball.
 
I imagine the topic creator prepared a new thread so as to quickly make one about a Mario game once it's announced.

I agree on the sentiment that it's better on the Wii U because it's a sports title, which benefit best from multiplayer action.

The sport choices are interesting, with a mix of established sports in the Mario series and a new one. I didn't think that horse-racing would become a fully-fledged sport. Come to think of it, horses are now an official species in the Mario universe, not just in the Mario & Sonic crossover games.

I wonder who the developer is for this one. On the one hand, I thought Camelot because the music is something that they would make, but I also think of Square-Enix because they made Mario Sports Mix.

Wonder how amiibo functionality will be applied if any is planned.

Thanks for reading.
 
And now we'll get lots of roster arguments in the coming future
 
Those horses are cute. Love how the models and textures change depending on which character is riding them. I think I saw Baby Luigi riding a baby horse, which makes it even better.

Annnnnd probably disappointment that there's more variety of sports then there are characters that were never playable before.

His inclusion should make a certain somebody happy.

Now the question is are the character rosters the same across all 5 sports?
 
Wherever this game ends up being any good comes down to how deep the game and sports end up being.
