Sonic & Mario at the Olympics Games release date for Nintendo Wii & DS, Beijing will help

With the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, “Sonic & Mario at the Olympics Games” could not launch at a better time than November 23rd…which it is.

The Beijing Olympics will drive up sales of this game on the Nintendo Wii and DS; it should become a best-seller for both games systems.

Sega has claimed that they expect the game to sell around four million copies that will be a pretty good result if it in fact happens.

I personally will look forward to buying the Nintendo Wii version as it will make use of the motion-sensing controls and in the Olympics swinging the Wii Remote for hammer throws and other events will be cool.

The events in Sonic & Mario at the Olympics Games Include:

• Track – 100m and 400m
• Track – 4x100m Relay
• Track – 110m and 400m Hurdles
• Aquatics – 4x100m Freestyle
• Aquatics – 100m Freestyle

• Field – Triple Jump
• Field – Long Jump
• Field – Pole Vault
• Field – High Jump

That looks so much fun, cannot wait.
