The world's fastest hedgehog and porkiest plumber join forces to take part in the Olympics in a unique pairing for Wii/DS. During the Leipzig Games Convention, Sega released a handful of Wii screenies to look at.

More dazzling shots of the iconic characters doing their thing can be found in the Mario & Sonic screens album below...

Great stuff!, my sport of choice Archery (local champion Smilie), hopefully they will have Fencing too, I think that would conevert well also.{LS]

Looks fairly impressive conceptually, but again what's up with these textures and character models?

It may not be as important as something like Brawl, or the main entries in each of the respective franchises but it just wreaks of recycled models and little effort in the visual steaks.

Camelot comes to mind when you speak so. Lol, I bet it's made by them too. Is it?.{LS]

Huh? This is made by SEGA. Camelot havn't done anything in ages. That makes me sad.

Conceptually, I don't think it looks that good. I mean why do they keep putting other characters in front of Sonic? No wai.

Look at Knuckles in the third pic down. I mean, what the hell is that supposed to be?

My problem with this is that it looks like any other olympics game but with iconic characters thrown in. I know it's the official olympics game but I'd much prefer a game with more of a Mario/Sonic spin.
