One of our alumni here, blogger Ludwig Kietzmann, got his hands on the upcoming joint venture between Nintendo and Sega in Mario & Sonic at the Olympics. As one might expect, the collection of minigames present in this overall game are some that fail to elicit any kind of enthusiasm or excitement in said blogger, as it is remarked this is the equivalent of "gaming chewing gum," as "beyond the initial burst of flavor upon discovering the Wii motions needed to complete an event, it's likely to degenerate into a bout of repetitive motion" for most gamers.
To call us disappointed is an understatement, however due to the fact that we pretty much knew this would be the case, at least we were prepared for it.

If anyone thought this game was going to be good, you would have to be retarded. It was doomed to suck when the idea was made up.

Sonic and Mario on the same game? In 93 this would've been inconceivable. "Dear mama, shit dun changed..."

Please, do not diss this game as it couldn't of been good anyways, cause this game had potential, and the retarded people who reviewed the game didn't even break it down or give the reader a full review. All they did wad diss Sonic. Wiifanboy you make me sick, and that's coming from someone who actually is a Wii FANBOY, and a person who isn't too stuck up to review a game right.
And please don't give me that bullcrap about, “We know what were doing,” and “ If you don't like it don't visit our site.” Cause if you don't like this than do your job better, or maybe get off of the internet.

"couldn't of been good anyways"
It's not "couldn't of", it's "couldn't have". Although some people say it so fast you could write it as could'nt've.
