RUMOR: Next Mario & Sonic game NOT a Sports Title

This is only a rumor. A member of 4chan (The rumor probably already lost alot of crediibilty by mentioning this site) named Wento the Salesman who claims to be working under Sega. The last leak he made was that the next game after Unleashed would have similar levels made to the Day stages of the game. That's turning out to be true with Sonic Colors right about now

“Without giving anything away…this time, it’s not a sports game. It’s turning out quite well. I think some of you may be a little surprised.”

This is the only thing he stated on the matter. The question is... what will it be?

The platformer we always dreamed of?

(Probably unlikely) Perhaps a Sonic and Mario fighter game?

(Even more unlikely) An RPG together?

(We sure damn hope not) A mini-game collection ala Mario Party?

etc?
 
Probably a combination of "normal" Sonic and Mario games. By normal, I mean like collecting rings/coins, getting to a flag/gate thing, etc.

I hope this is true.
 
Well, either way, I won't be getting my hopes up, especially if it's in any way similar to Mario Party.
 
I heard you say this on chat.

Could this be...SONIC AND MARIO SHUFFLE?

Just kidding, I hope it's a platformer.
 
I hope it's not a platformer. It would be like bestiality, let's just leave the two different worlds alone. Fighter is not likely, I think it will be like a party game, given the lack of intention from Nintendo to make Mario Party 9 any time soon.

Why do people dislike this idea so much? A new Mario Party with Sonic people on it would be damn awesome, not to mention easier to make than adapting both series of platforming into one single homogenic gameplay.

And by "Mario Party" I mean as in boards, minigames, competitions, using items/orbs/whatever, earning stars/emblems, collecting coins/rings, etc

It would rule even more if they manage to fix what made MP8 and DS less good than the others (luck abuse, pointless bonus stars, lack of customization options, broken items, generic filler characters in MP8, etc)

He just hates Mario Party. For some really weird reason.

I just didn't think it was fun to play. What's so weird about that?
