Sega announced to the public that its plans for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games to be one of its top sellers by next year. Sega made the statement at this week's Tokyo Game Show. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is the first official title to feature both the iconic gaming mascots in the same arena. It will be released on the Wii by this year, and has been licensed officially by the Olympics committee. Sega said next year's Beijing games will be a big part in reaching the four million unit target of sales. The publisher did not say when it plans to meet the multi million goal. It took the original Halo more than two years to reach the same number of copies sold.



Game Details
Sega has raced out details for Mario and Sonic partnering in one game entitled Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

Finally, this two famous characters get to battle in 20 authentic sporting events, each calling on the help of seven friends to make up the numbers.

Each of the character will have their own strengths and weaknesses, too. Bowser will naturally do well at 'shot put' because he's a bit dumpy, while Sonic will run quickly in his buckled-up trainers. Mario and moustache will be an all rounder player, as always.

You will also be able to play against the AI computer or your friends at single matches, or string a number of events together in a circuit. On Wii, winning will involve replicating the various movements on the screen using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk: pumping your arms to spring or thrusting energetically to fence. Get bored of that and you can try to beat Mission mode made up of the toughest athletic challenges.

There's also a quiz mode and mini-games that appears to be unlockable in the game that uncover all the history of the past Olympic Games - those ones where animals weren't allowed to compete.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games will be released for Wii November 2007 and follow in Q1 2008 on DS.
