His inclusion should make a certain somebody happy.

Now the question is are the character rosters the same across all 5 sports?
That's my concern too. We might be getting a repeat of Mario & Sonic where new characters were advertised, but the catch is that they're confined to one sport. I really hope this won't happen.

Oh, on the other news, I guess we got that Mario soccer game we feared... somewhat, where the edginess is gone, but I'd rather be positive about this. I mean, we still got some edge left, just look at the character artwork...
 
They are trying to give the characters a Nike like vibe with those renders.

Just do it and stuff .

The possibility is high (all characters for all sports) since we can see this roster is not that big , like Olympic games at least.

All these characters are in their own teams for the tournament in some sport. They should all be available in all of them , as there only 5 according to the video.

Also , maybe the shape of the emblems mean something? Baby Mario , a tiny baby has the smallest shape. Wario , Bowser and Rosalina have the biggest Mario , Yoshi and Birdo have a medium one and Boo has a different one.
 
I am so totally hyped for 2017 when I can buy a New 3DS and play this. Now, for my opinions on each sport and the game as a whole.

Tennis: I've played Mario Tennis on the Wii VC, so I know this sort of thing is a mixed bag, but that was my go to 10-20 minute game for a while. Prediction: mostly positive.

Golf: I liked Wii Sports: Resort's golf but thought the controls were too finicky. I have since started looking into the Mario Golf series and really want Mario Golf: Advance Tour. Thus, I'm favorably disposed to any new Mario Golf game. Prediction: very positive.

Baseball: Mario Super Sluggers is currently my favorite Wii game, so this looks really appealing for 3DS. I like that the pitch arsenal looks massively improved. Prediction: very positive.

Soccer: I haven't bought Mario Strikers Charged because I dislike its edginess and I don't care for soccer that much. With this being 11 on 11 instead of 5 on 5 and at least less edginess, this could be reasonable. Prediction: slightly positive.

Horse Racing: This looks like Mario Kart with out items or ridiculous kart combinations. Not having anything solid of this nature to compare to makes this a wild card, but I'm inclined to give it a chance. Prediction: mostly positive.

The game as a whole: I like the idea of being able to play all of these sports in one place because it simplifies navigation and boosts the chances of running into someone else with the game. Including horse racing with the others seems like a good way to give the idea some air before committing a whole game to it. Large roster or small roster, this still looks to be a blast. Prediction: very positive.

Camelot is the developer (well just for the tennis and golf part).
Excellent. Mario Golf is hands-down my favorite sports series and World Tour is great. If it's just more of that then I'll be very satisfied.

On the plus side it's got goombas as sidekick characters.
 
Hot dann. A new Mario sports game that combines Mario's four best known sports with horse racing. They can't possibly fuck this up. All the cards are on the table, they just gotta deal them up. DEAL THEM UP, BABY!
 
I'm happy that the Mario sports games are back! Honestly, if someone played the latest Mario&Sonic game on Wii U it was clear that SEGA didn't want to replace them, but rather offer something different (this is mostly evident in the Duel Football event, that wanted to not be like Mario strikers in gameplay). Fortunately Nintendo this time got the message right.

By the way, is it possible that SEGA is involved and possibly even doing the last sports? Non-Strikers EdgYoshi is definitely a SEGA thing.
