The classic Wii series starring Mario and Sonic characters fighting it out in Olympic competition will be making its debut on the Nintendo Switch. SEGA has announced Mario & Sonic at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, with the game arriving at the tail end of 2019. An arcade version will also be available in Japan, and a mobile version starring only Sonic series characters will launch in time for the Olympic games, just prior to Summer 2020.

They probably have payed a lot of money for the Olympic rights and they will more than likely make a shit load of money from the mobile version of the game.

If nobody wanted mobile versions of games then why the heck would companies like sega/nintendo/Square Enix ect make them in the first place? Oh yes it's because like I already said mobile games make a shit load of money

@Chary it's also coming to ps4 minus Mario I would guess lol.

No, it's the official Olympic videogame, nothing to do with Sonic if you read the first two parts.

How come Mario is ahead of Sonic?

i guess it's the same thing of why mario's name comes first, sega developed and they wanted to "show respect"

Mario is simply better and more profitable than Sonic.

Still been playing the 2012 Olympics. Never got to play 2016, so I can't wait to finally play another Mario and Sonic game. Also, Sonic's looking seriously depressed that he's losing to Mario there.

So hear me out...I think this is really good news.
This series has stagnated for the past two entries, and I think that the break for last year was deserved. You can already see the characters with new outfits and more expressions, kinda like Smash Bros. and Mario Tennis Aces. A lot of care is going into the Switch game, which has me excited for sure. 2010 and 2012 were great games (save the 3DS version), so I'm hoping that this will be a good reboot for the series!

 

[Exaltys]

Ok. But why making a Mobile Version anyway? The switch is a Handheld and i think no one wants a "shrinked" Version of the Game for Mobile, when you can have the full Game on the go with the switch

More people gave phones and don't have Switchs than people that have both.

Oh god... I still have the Wii U one unopened which I got for like $5 from Toys R Us.

Open it already. It's pretty enjoyable and got some of the best Wii U graphics.

My copy of the 2012 Olympics is still untouched for the Wii...

Why does anyone want to play these games?

I thought Mario was Italian why isn't he dressed in white shorts and a blue top

Except for the first, they're all pretty decent games to play with friends and family. I played the Vancouver on the DS one a lot with my brother, although it's probably the best of them all

I have played it before, so by untouched I mean I haven't played it in years. Most I ever played was 15mins. Then I played the DS version.

 

[Dominator211]

I guess last years Olympics was too much to say in one title sequence.

 

[Fates-Blade-900]

We'll see how good it is when it's released, but it sounds good to me. :]

Mario is faster than Sonic in 2D games. Not sure about 3D, but I'm betting it's close if you actually measure it out frame by frame. Canonically, this makes no sense, but when it comes to gameplay, that's the way it has been.

2012 is actually really good, give it a try sometime.
