For all of those who put Mario vs Sonic on their radar screen you will be happy to hear the following news:
Sega has just released a new blog update letting everyone know that Mario & Sonic at the Olympics has won the Best of GC award for a Wii game, defeating the mighty Mario Galaxy and the upcoming non-gamer title Wii Fit.
Good news for Mario vs Sonic…
Enjoy this quote:
“Today at the GC convention, one of the Rare developers let a little known fact slip out: Nintendo owns the diddy kong racing IP. He went on to say that Nintendo plans on bringing this franchise back out of the pit stops, with a makeover fitting of the Wii tech and motion controls using the Wiimote. We contacted Nintendo and were replied to with this:”
“At Nintendo we are always looking for new innovative ways to re imagine past IPs. We looks forward to revieling new games in the coming months, but can provide no comment right now.”
My Thoughts:
If it’s true, I hope they blow this thing out of the water. I’m talking online, great graphics, insane power ups and everything in between. I think that if they take this franchise and make it similar to Mario Kart, it would be a step in the right direction. Would you guys purchase?
Get ready gamers, Take Two has announced today that Manhunt 2 has finally been given an “M” Rating (for Mature) from the ESRB and the game will be heading to the Wii and PS2 on October 31st, 2007.
What exactly they took out of the game has yet to be determined, but mark your calendars for holloween gamers.
