It is set for release on both the Nintendo DS and Wii during the Christmas season of 2007, and is officially licensed by the International Olympic Committee through exclusive licensee International Sports Multimedia. This will be the first official game of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games to be released, with a more realistic sports game to be later released by Sega in 2008.

Wii News

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.

Need for Speed: ProStreet

Wii News

Electronic Arts will release the next game in its Need for Speed franchise for the Xbox 360, Playstation 2/3, Wii, Nintendo DS, PC and mobile devices this fall.

The company today said that Need for Speed Prostreet will be available in North America on October 31. The latest title in the series requires gamers to "build the ultimate battle machine, take it to multi-disciplinary showdowns and pit their skills and reputation against the world’s best street racers."

According to the developer, Prostreet takes users through the stages of designing and building a car, competing in locations around the globe and battling in four racing styles – grip, drag, drift as well as a new "speed challenge." EA said that the game will offer "photo-realistic vehicles and billowing smoke".

Gameplay

This game will take the Need for Speed series in a new direction of gameplay. Instead of an arcade style, which dominated the series, ProStreet will focus much more on realism and move closer to racing simulation, and still with options to use driving assistants to make driving easier and more arcade-like. Unlike its predecessors, all racing in ProStreet will take place on closed tracks, thus making it the first game in the series not animating illegal racing behavior since the Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, hence there will not be any police in the game. Performance tuning will take up a large part of gameplay in a way that even a small adjustment of the shape of a car's body will impact its performance.

ProStreet will feature next-generation graphics aiming for a more realistic feel, and more advanced physics. It will also be the first Need for Speed game to include damage modelling since 2000'2 Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. The new damage system is said to be very accurate, as a collision with any object in the game world may render a car damaged or even useless.
