Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

As someone who grew up when Mario and Sonic were rarely seen on the same page, this blogger still finds it odd to see them starring in the same game. Mario & Sonic, however, despite being essentially a sports mini-game compilation, has sold over 5 million DS & Wii copies combined. Like it or not, developer Sega struck a massive chord with this release.

We sort of wonder whether this game was better as an idea than what has been packaged for store shelves, but you can't argue with a rich multiplayer and a decent online rankings system.
