Mario & Sonic are back together again to continue their rivalry, this time over winning the gold at the London 2012 Olympics. So sayeth SEGA:
A host of exciting new headline events, including Soccer and Equestrian will debut on the Wii version appearing alongside classic Olympic disciplines, such as Athletics, Aquatics and Table Tennis. The new handheld system from Nintendo will bring a whole new dimension to the Mario & Sonic universe with glasses-free 3D visuals and around 50 original Olympic themed events playable using the unique control systems of the Nintendo 3DS.
Equestrian events? A hedgehog riding a horse? Count me in! Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is set to arrive this November for the Nintendo Wii, and in February 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS.
