Sega releases a teaser of Mario & Sonic at The Olympic Games entirely done in CGI, nothing to see here, as well as a few images of the Wii version. We've had a glimpse of the game at E3, but we'll wait to see more than three mini-games before making our minds.

You could have Amy and Peach take eachother on in pole vaults, a bunch of Toads and Chao canoeing, Wario and Robotnik could.. uuuuuuh. Wres... uh Wrestle? :O
Instead of picking a character you could just be able to pick either Mario's team or Sonic's team and then you could customise it with clothes/accessories and a flag or something to tell your characters apart from someone elses. Something like Rayman in Raving Rabbids.
For the sake of fan service I do think Sonic and Mario should compete against eachother, but here's where I'm at a loss. That said, Sega during its golden years made lots of games I would never have thought of myself, and this is a situation like that. I was hoping they'd surprise me with a clever and charming way to even them out.

Commented on 2007-07-21 20:36:04I'd really like Sega to just make a Wii version of Sonic Battle already though. That was such a criminally overlooked game on the GBA, and it'd make perfect sense with its "pick your move set" setup to have it with simple motion controls on the Wii and just empty a bucket of characters from the entire Sonic universe. Oh and Sketch from Comix Zone, Ristar, Sho Musashi, Axel, etc etc too.
