William BagleyThe Real Election - Mario vs Sonic
November 22nd 2007 10:58
Ok, so it isn't an election, but as of today, the fight to be crowned the greatest of all time begins ... kinda.
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games officially launched today on Nintendo Wii, the first time both classic mascots have met face to face in an official title. It's all based around changing the face of those old Olympic based video games that no-one ever played, you know the ones? With all the sports that never translated well?
So why call it the real election? Well, if you're a gamer like me, you're bound to have asked yourself the ultimate question ... who would win? Mario or Sonic? At least now, instead of endless arguments over whether the fire flower is stronger than a chaos emerald, here you discover who jumps higher, who runs faster, and who plays stronger.
But it doesn't end there. Next year a DS specific version of the game will hit store shelves featuring a number of exclusive sports. And then, don't forget, there's the royal rumble round ... Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
So now comes the next big question. Nintendo and Sega are best buddies, as the above games attest, so let's daydream for just a moment and consider the possibility that this may not be the last time we'll see our two heroes face off. Could we see a fully fledged, next generation platform extravaganza? Yes, that's the question. Honestly, the answer should be no, probably not. But there's always Mario Kart...

For the record, my vote goes to Mario...
