Vector?! Hark, do we hear barrel-scraping? (Credit: N-Europe) See that? Just your bog-standard, everyday Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games screengrab, right? Right. But wait a second there, bucko. Look closer, and what you’ll see is an out-and-out minefield of fresh, juicy information on the game that Sega reckons will sell, oooh, around a gazillion copies.
Indeed, through this solitary screen, taken by the furtive types at N-Europe, we can extract three new facts about Mario and Sonic’s RSI-inducing Olympics title.
One: The full and final line-up of characters, including the previously unannounced Vector (a croc from the Sega 32X title Knuckles Chaotix - obscure, much?) and Blaze (the cat from Sonic Rush for the DS).
Two: The new character groupings (titled Power Type, Skill Type, All-Around, and Speed Type).
Three (and most importantly of all): you’ll be able to use Miis in the game, meaning we can finally pit blobby, slightly deformed versions of Jessica Alba and Tara Reid against one another in the 100 metre dash. Run for our love, ladies!
