We take a look at three new events and one new gameplay mode in which Sega and Nintendo characters talk to each other and help each other out. Mass hysteria!

Mario and Sonic had such a blast competing at the Summer Olympics, it seems, that they’re back for some wintery competition. During our E3 2009 demo for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, we got to see a few of the iconic events that the pair (and their respective crews) will be participating in. We also saw a new adventure-style mode that offers an interesting diversion from the sports-themed action.

Winter Olympics here we come! I’ll admit, I’m giddy with excitement in regards to the upcoming Olympics that are set to take place in my beloved frosty tundra called Canada. I love snow–as long as I don’t have to shovel it–and being able to play winter sports from the comfort of my couch in sunny California couldn’t be more appealing. Well, in this case, Ricardo, Brian and I were technically playing Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games with a couple of Sega reps in our demo room under the warm glow of fluorescent lighting.

Some exciting news for you guys on this cold winter morning: According to the Spanish Nintendo magazine Nintendo Accion, Mario and Sonic will be teaming it up once again to battle it out at the Olympics, winter style!! Seganerds have a copy of the scan on their site. Though the scan is in spanish, my high school spanish skills combined with my google skills can confirm that it gives you clues: Games, Olympics, it’s cold, it’s winter. So, if you ask me this pretty much all adds up to a Winter Olympics games. I think it’s a great idea, especially now that the balance board is available, incorporating some events with that would be amazing. I’m a HUGE fan of Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, so a sequel is music to my ears.
