Talk:Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)

Systems?
Has this been confirmed for any system? I think it's pretty sure it will be on both the DS and the Wii. - 16:11, 11 February 2009 (EST)


 * Details are still under lock and key; but I'm assuming they'll target BOTH the DS and Wii. Best to wait for a press release from Nintendo or Sega. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 16:14, 11 February 2009 (EST)

wii.ign confirm it, so at the very least a Wii version will be made. No word on a DS version at the moment. --
 * Just because IGN put it up on the Wii part of their site, that doesn't mean it's officially confirmed on the Wii. - 17:13, 11 February 2009 (EST)
 * Is this enough proof that it exist? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyek6YbLvWw - Kamicciolo
 * I just saw the "news flash" via press release -- it is targeted for both the Wii and DS. As well as the official title for it. I'll do necessary adjustments here.
 * Actually the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games official website confermed wii and Ds. Also Donkey Kong and Metal Sonic are confirmed characters, the only events confirmed are ice hockey, bobsled, speed skating, and i think figure skating is in there.

We already know. This System discussion is old and was here before the DS verison was confirmed. -RedFire Mario

Tails, Daisy, and Knuckles
Their names appear in the scoreboard, right before the event starts. Luigifan95 18:07, 12 February 2009 (EST)
 * But they don't actually appear in the trailer or teaser, so we just put  for them.
 * We still could note that they appeared on the scoreboard though. - 07:34, 13 February 2009 (EST)

More playble characters?
From the official site: Choose from your favorite cast of characters, including a few new faces.. Shall this meen there are more playble characters in this game than Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games?
 * It's also possible that they remove characters from the previous games. Not likely, but possible. - 08:28, 13 February 2009 (EST)

Wow
It never quite ends does it? 00:08, 16 February 2009 (EST)
 * What? - 15:48, 16 February 2009 (EST)

Playables characters
The French Nintendo magazine confirmed tha the seven Sonic characters and the seven Mario characters will be playable. Ther's also a rumor that the 3 mascots of the olympic games of Vancouver may also be playable. However, my magazine failed in the water and so I can't scan it. Should we add this info or not ? Koopalmier 05:24, 28 February 2009 (EST)
 * The only mascot I can think of is a whale for Vancouver, we don't really have that many sports, mainly just hockey. But, is your magazine really damp? Did the ink get erased off it? You can try and upload it if you want.
 * The mascots are these; from left to right: Sumi, part Orca ("Killer Whale"), part Thunderbird, part Black bear; Quatchi, a sasquatch ("Big Foot"); and Miga, part bear, part Orca. They're all from First Nations mythology, with the sasquatch being the only mainstream entity. If Wikipedia is to be believed, there's also a Vancouver Island Marmot named Mukmuk involved, since Sumi is the Paralympic mascot... -  23:57, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

Is Birdo a playable character? ^___^

i went to Sydney supernova 2009 and i saw the game there, Bowser Jr and Silver the hedgehog are confermed playable, i don't have any images with me to prove it since i don't have a camera, but they ARE confermed playable --AngusNitro41 7:42pm June 27th 2009

Vector Confirmed
You can see him in this image http://www.blueblur.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/msowgscreen6.png - Kamicciolo


 * AWESOME! I love Vector, he's my favorite, next to Dr. Eggman! - Smashgoom202 23:38, 22 March 2009 (EDT)
 * Enthusiasm's good, but try and save that sorta comment for the forums, please. - 23:49, 22 March 2009 (EDT)

Amy Confirmed?
On the same place we found Big the Cat it said that all characters from the first game will appear which means Amy too! Is she confirmed?
 * Please read what it says carefully, this article says Big may be in it, not will be in it. -
 * Amy was in the trailer so I'm pretty sure shes gonna be in the game.

Again Avsrok, this is an old discussion. We added every info that were confirmed so far. -RedFire Mario

Winter Outfits!
I've found this video, click here!: http://www.youtube.com./watch?v=64PkjhzlLK8&feature=related  :D


 * I really think we still should wait until the Peach/Daisy arts surface in relation to this game; then we can see about placing descriptions of it on their respective articles. That's what I think. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 09:54, 26 March 2009 (EDT)

Hmmm.. I agree


 * Agree with MeritC, we can't make conjectures with a sole image, so better wait until further information comes out from developers.

Released
It has already been released in Canada, my cousin has it
 * More proof, please. --Grandy02 15:35, 4 May 2009 (EDT)
 * In Summer ? <_<" Koopalmier 00:54, 8 August 2009 (EDT)

Anyone here a member of SonicStadium?
Someone in the message board uploaded some new scans from Nintendo Power and it's got some new info. However, even though I'm not familar with references on this wiki (I'll into it after this), I take that forums aren't generally well-accepted as reliable sources. You have to be a member of the site to view to those who wonder why I'm asking. Luigifan95 21:19, 13 May 2009 (EDT)

Donkey Kong and Metal Sonic
The recent trailer on the Nintendo Channel comfirmed their appearence in this game. Can someone create a link to the Youtube veresion of it? The DK Fan
 * Do you mean the E3 trailer? Yoshario''' [[Image:Yoshi_wearing_mario's hat.jpg|30px]]
 * Yes I do! The DK Fan

Big
is it true that big the cat is a playable character in this game?

I've heard (seen) lots of things saying his in Marc (Talk)
 * We'll have to wait and see whether there's an official confirmation or not. - 07:52, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

On IGN, they said the only new characters are Metal Sonic and Donkey Kong, so Big might not be playable -RedFire Mario

OooH! Are you serious?! 'o'

IGN never said that it was the final roster. They only said what we know about the characters. Luigifan95 10:15, 10 June 2009 (EDT)

Look & read on this link

Marc (Talk)

Silver the Hedgehog?
On this picture, look to the right of Eggman's flag, you can see a flag of what appears to be Silver. In no way am I confirming he is in. Just wanted to point this out. Luigifan95 23:34, 10 June 2009 (EDT)


 * Good watch. Albeit blurry, this could confirm there will be unlockable characters in this sequel as opposed in the first game, besides the adventure mode.

I must say good looking now all we need is King Boo in this game as a playable character

Marc (Talk)

in the picture with bowser jr.'s flag a flag like the one beside eggmans in the other picture appears right beside luigis head.Yoshimeyoshime.

i think those flags are metal sonics anyway.Yoshimeyoshime

Chain Chomp
look a Chain Chomp has appeared in the game Marc (Talk)

i think thats an obstacleYoshime 05:30, 5 August 2009 (EDT)

Birdo
Besides artwork, what other media of this game shows Birdo? We need a gameplay picture or video of her first. The DK Fan

More importantly, we need the source of the artwork. Luigifan95 11:48, 19 June 2009 (EDT)

i seen this artwork on this link



Marc (Talk)

Marc, there's no source where that picture was from. If Sega or Nintendo confirms the pic, then it's real. If no one claim where the source is from, this pic is fake. We just have to wait -RedFire Mario
 * The picture appears on that site just because blablabla uploaded it here first. There isn't any confirmation if this picture is valid. One user (Blue Blood) at the metionend site pointed out that the artwork might be a fake. Therefore, the "rumor" should also be removed from the article. --Grandy02 13:44, 20 June 2009 (EDT)

Huh! 'o' that artwork is fake! ,I can't believe it! ;_;

Oh, I think I'm gonna cry ;_; T_T ;____;   ;________;  X,X

The image has been deleted to prevent any more confusion. If it turns out Birdo is in the game, we can find another image, but until then, it stays off our database. - 20:22, 20 June 2009 (EDT)

ok then Marc (Talk)

Luma
Where is the source Luma appears in the game? That "hint" doesn't help at all...

At the Offical Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games Website. H

Where exactly? Luigifan95 13:13, 2 July 2009 (EDT)


 * Per Luigi Fan. Your comment is not clear yet, where exactly? Give us a picture of the Luma in the game if possible...

Luma is not a playable, It will be in the Crowd like the rest.

Here's the Directions how to find Luma in the Website. ¡      \ /   <=

But you gotta press the button on characters fast to see it. it's holding a tiny mario flag.


 * Better show me an image, cuz I cannot understand your hints. However, It's hard to me to admit that you saw is a Luma. Why Luma didn't appear in the intro movie at least...?

hello. i saw the image, and i tried to upload it but it wont. so blargh.. but i dont think that it actually is a luma, its eyes are so much bigger then they should be. i think its just a koopa and the mouth line isnt to clear. --Scorvi1 03:59, 22 July 2009 (EDT)

Eggman in ice hockey
I was waching the trailer on youtube and in the ice hockey event when waluigi gose after knuckles I saw Dr. Eggman standing behind waluigi here is the proof (I print screened it) oh and the trailer is on my user page if you want to see it.

Marc (Talk)

And the point of this post...? Just in case, all the characters from the previous games are already in. Luigifan95 15:12, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

October 9th
Just so everybody knows, October 9th is the official release date. It says so in the August 2009 issue of Nintendo Power.--fawfulfury65 23:03, 9 July 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65

NEVER MIND! It said 10/09 which means it's still October 2009.--fawfulfury65 12:56, 10 July 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65

Bowser Jr.
look at where I've marked on the image there is a flag with Bowser Jr.'s face on it so he may be playable the flag is by where yoshi is here is the link to this video



Marc (Talk)


 * Also, the video was taken down by Sega Europe. Very suspicious indeed. Luigifan95 18:17, 21 July 2009 (EDT)

Cream confirmed?
Hello,I'm French and,I discovered this image:

http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Games/M/Mario%20and%20Sonic%20at%20the%20Olympic%20Winter%20Games/Bulk%20Viewer/Wii/2009-06-15/Mario_000383--screenshot_viewer_medium.jpg

Who is the personn who broke a record?

Uh... I think that's Tails, not Cream.--fawfulfury65 09:35, 4 August 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65

Two new sports!
There are new artworks of Team Sonic, and looking on them, they confirm two new sports.

= Biathlon and = Curling

I think Biathlon will be really fun! Don't know about curling, it's boring in the real life, so.. yeah.

I wonder which verision the sports are in... [Charmander]

Bowser Jr. & Silver the Hedgehog
In case you are not informed, Bowser Jr. and Silver the Hedgehog are confirmed to be in the game. There are screenshots of them in the official website. Luigifan95 17:32, 12 August 2009 (EDT) EDIT: This just in, Sega has taken down the screenshots that involves Silver and Bowser Jr. I will post the pics in the gallery before it's too late.

Rosalina
Hey guys, there's possibly another flag leak. Here's the link. However there are the things I will point out: Thoughts? Luigifan95 00:53, 13 August 2009 (EDT)
 * 1) This is the very same source where pics of Silver & Bowser Jr. were shown
 * 2) The original link to TSSZNEWS that had the pics was taken down. This link I posted is from the upload content.
 * Okay, the original article before it was taken down stated that the image have been photoshopped. So, it's most likely this image is fake. Luigifan95 01:12, 13 August 2009 (EDT)

I see fake. First, The emblem should be a star (almost seen in Mario Kart Wii) but this is a faceless Luma. Second, part of the flag (the left side) shows a sharp border unlike Tails' flag, unsharp. Third, there is no hints that Rosie might appear. That silly matter about Luma in the crowd was a complete liar...

Just wondering where it says she has been confirmed?? i dont think she should be in there until we actually have proof.


 * Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake... This is the real, ORIGINAL, image behind that flag
