The Olympic Games are popular gaming fodder. Each time the event rolls around, a developer takes advantage of the situation and drops some generic button mashing junk onto store shelves in celebration… or for a chance to increase their stock. In Nintendo’s case, we’re still a ways away from the actual Olympics. That didn’t stop the Mario and Sonic mash-up from selling a boatload of copies.

It’s overall rating of 67% on GameRankings speaks for the games overall quality, and it’s hard to disagree. The game is everything Olympic games suffer from, only instead of mashing buttons, you look moronic as you swing the controller around randomly in ways that can hardly be considered interactive. The games only bonus is a decent version of table tennis. Still, the name alone was apparently enough, even though the platforming icons first meeting was less than stellar. Sequel? You bet.
