Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, then. It could go either way, depending on who you listen to on the internet. We love the look of it, but you don’t have to go too far to hear a dissenting voice, someone grumbling about how the long-hoped-for unification of Mario and Sonic is great and all, but Christonabike, in a button-bashing mini-game compilation, of all things? Aren’t those about as enjoyable as eating wool?

Well, sod the doubters, we say. We still have high hopes for the title, and today Nintendo coughed up another trailer of the game, which is due over the Holiday period. The recent reappearance of Track & Field on Xbox Live Arcade proved that these joypad-mashing affairs can still be tonnes of fun when it comes to gaming with friends, and the inclusion of Wiimote-waggling and Nintendo and Sega’s finest simply seals the deal for us.
