Talk:Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Wii U)

Released date
Hi, There in there a exact Released date ? (Or you have to wait E3 2015 ?) --Captain Yoshi 11:39, 5 June 2015 (EDT)
 * Dude, the game was just confirmed 6 days ago. I think it will be like Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and the official date will come later. Captain Toad (his mail box) Getting my own game soon! 19:59, 5 June 2015 (EDT)
 * Ah ! Ok ! Thanks ! --Captain Yoshi YoshiYellow-MK8.png 10:01, 6 June 2015 (EDT)

New stuff
This might be interesting to look at... Aidan, Master of Speed and Aura  20:43, 7 June 2015 (EDT) I'm not sure about writing that Rosalina is in there as I cannot see her.Marioguy (talk) 22:59, 2 July 2015 (EDT)Marioguy

I found Amy!!! I will add her. Marioguy (talk) 08:44, 3 July 2015 (EDT)Marioguy Should I add her to the 3ds version of the game? Marioguy (talk) 09:25, 3 July 2015 (EDT)Marioguy I found Amy from zooming in. Marioguy (talk) 13:18, 3 July 2015 (EDT)Marioguy

If you're going to claim that Amy is playable, then post a reference. You have not posted a single piece of evidence proving she is even in the game. Everything you try is clearly a "red link" which is unacceptable. Crash-Bash (talk) 03:37, 4 July 2015 (EDT)

I don't know how to upload pictures. Marioguy (talk) 09:33, 4 July 2015 (EDT)Marioguy
 * In the side bar under tools. Crazy8MK8.png King Koopa (talk) MK8 Bowser Icon.png 09:59, 4 July 2015 (EDT)

I tried didn't go well but I know the picture it it is in the top of this section the 2nd screenshot in the link. Marioguy (talk) 10:11, 4 July 2015 (EDT) Marioguy


 * I don't see her at all. Crash-Bash (talk) 01:53, 5 July 2015 (EDT)
 * There is a pink speck (Amy) at what I think is the starting line. Marioguy (talk) 08:13, 5

July 2015 (EDT) Marioguy
 * I don't see any pink speck near any starting line, and the one thing I do see that looks vaguely pink, there's no way of telling if it's Amy or not. Crash-Bash (talk) 14:05, 5 July 2015 (EDT)

Sticks
If you watch the e3 trailer and stop at 0:48, you can see Sticks from Sonic Boom playing archery. Not sure if she is playable, but it should be known she is in the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS7umYt9krg--Poponana2 (talk) 14:09, 16 June 2015 (EDT)
 * Good catch! 14:11, 16 June 2015 (EDT)


 * Yes, but that's clearly the 3DS version, we have no proof if she's in the Wii U version or not. Crash-Bash (talk) 12:59, 17 June 2015 (EDT)

Rosalina?
I have noticed a website said Nintendo leaked 5 photos but only 3 can be seen now I that was deleted has Rosalina in synchronized swimming. Marioguy (talk) 16:00, 3 July 2015 (EDT)Marioguy
 * As long as someone can cough up the photo evidence, she's good as confirmed. But until then, it's not for sure. MarioComix (talk) 16:59, 3 July 2015 (EDT)

Ok its just that she was there in the list and then a second later she disappeared. Marioguy (talk) 17:25, 3 July 2015 (EDT)Marioguy

Wait should she be in unknown? Marioguy (talk) 17:26, 3 July 2015 (EDT)Marioguy
 * No because she hasn't actually been fully seen yet. Sticks has, but whether or not she's playable isn't known at the moment.

Ok! Thanks! Marioguy (talk) 09:21, 4 July 2015 (EDT)Marioguy

Release date leaked?
In the games' pages for Nintendo Spain, both versions of Wii U and 3DS will be released in physical format in 2016, but the Wii U digital version will be launched August 9, 2016 according to the website, but I think it's incomprehensible because the games in Mario & Sonic series tend to release before the Olympics Games take place. What do you think?

Arcade version
Sega announced an edition of the game and I was wondering where this info would go on this wiki since this article only covers the Wii U version. Luigifan95 (talk) 05:00, 18 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Perhaps its own section right before "references to other games" (in this case after "events")? 22:27, 18 July 2015 (EDT)


 * Where does it announce that? The link clearly leads to talking about a different game altogether. Crash-Bash (talk) 14:23, 20 July 2015 (EDT)


 * Is nobody actually going to post an actual link to this arcade edition? Crash-Bash (talk) 01:59, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
 * http://www.inside-games.jp/article/2015/07/17/89509.html --Glowsquid (talk) 10:47, 23 July 2015 (EDT)


 * Oh, OK, but it still doesn't show anything involving Wario. Crash-Bash (talk) 17:13, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Here's a pic from Sonic Stadium from the arcade edition. Luigifan95 (talk) 11:04, 25 July 2015 (EDT)

Legitimate Update - Release Month
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/06/01/nintendo-confirms-3ds-chibi-robo-doctor-mario-bravely-second-more-for-north-america.aspx?

Apparantly, this has been known since June. CrashBash (talk) 16:25, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
 * August 2016? And we haven't placed this information since June? Geez, well, I'm both surprised it took us this long to figure that out, but not surprised because we're always a little slow on Mario & Sonic coverage. 16:33, 9 October 2015 (EDT)

You want proof on Rosalina?
You got proof. Aidanzapunk (talk) 23:17, 12 November 2015 (EST)


 * Very nice, now notice that you're posting a trailer from the 3DS version on the page for the Wii U version. Yes, I understand the fact that she's in the 3DS version all but confirms she's in the Wii U version because, well, consistency, but we still technically can't say for certain. CrashBash (talk) 02:25, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Vector
Marioguy (talk) 18:18, 19 November 2015 (EST) If it gives you an error I will say it, it has a Vector flag. (Wii U version) Marioguy (talk) 18:28, 19 November 2015 (EST)

Zazz (Sonic Lost World)
Zazz from Sonic Lost World can be seen playing table tennis against Yoshi 20 seconds into this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APV7ri3scLI&feature=youtu.be

DaisyisBae (talk) 19:08, 6 December 2015 (EST)


 * We are clear he's in the game and he may be playable, given the fact that Ludwig can be seen playing table tennis in the 3DS version. So now that I think about it, can we safely say he'll be playable? I mean we haven't really seen anything other than trailers so what's to say that Ludwig or Wendy are even playable?

About Ludwig Von Koopa, he had an icon Zazz has no flag, icon nothing so we can't really say much about Zazz and possibly Wendy O. Koopa.

At this stage, it's likely, but not confirmed. I think practically everyone else has been specifically confirmed. CrashBash (talk) 14:42, 7 December 2015 (EST)

Characters Exclusive to Certain Events
I know in past installments for the 3DS that certain characters are exclusive to certain events, but has this historically been the same for the Wii U version? If it has been or if it has been confirmed that this is the case, should that be added to the article?. User:FireFlower
 * No. The 3DS version of London had the characters tied to certain events, but the Wii version didn't have that restriction.--A Pimp Named Slickback 19:49, 29 December 2015 (EST)
 * Thanks for the clarification. Will the same happen for this game?User:FireFlower
 * We don't know for certain yet. DK Fan


 * From what little we've seen, it doesn't look like the Wii U release has exclusive characters, but it's a bit hard to say for certain. CrashBash (talk) 11:21, 30 December 2015 (EST)

A little skeptical.
Can we really use the 3DS character line-up to attribute to the Wii U version? Yes, we know at the very least that Nabbit, Diddy Kong, Jet, Rouge and Zazz are also in the Wii U version, but that's really all we know. CrashBash (talk) 11:20, 30 December 2015 (EST)


 * That is a good point, but considering there are 40 characters in the 3DS version, I can't imagine that there would be less in the Wii U installment. User:FireFlower

Birdo
According to the article, Birdo has been confirmed for the game; however, I have not found a single picture or video with her doing a particular sport. Perhaps this was mixed with the fact that Red Birdos will be appearing as support characters. Either way, is there actual proof that states that the central Birdo character will be making an appearance representing Team Mario. User:FireFlower
 * In reality, Birdo is in the 3DS version, nothing is known about the Wii U version, not even if it is still in development. Regarding the 3DS version, the official Japanese site says that Birdo will be involved in archery.--Mister Wu (talk) 04:54, 3 January 2016 (EST)
 * Okay so since Birdo, or any other character who this concerns, hasn't been seen in the Wii U version, shouldn't it be removed or at least stated in the articles that she and the other unknown characters play a part in the 3DS version.

Wii U Release Date
apparently the wii u version of this game is set for a 9th August 2016 release should it be added to the page? http://gonintendo.com/stories/250110-eu-nintendo-sites-list-mario-sonic-at-the-rio-2016-olympic-game
 * Actually, the real release date is June 24th. --RodneytheMiiGuy 18:18, 3 March 2016 (EST)

Exclusive characters?
Since we've now seen the intro for the Wii U version, it appears that there are indeed characters that are exclusive to each version. Obviously, I don't want to jump to too many assumptions, but for now I've deleted the characters who do not feature in the trailer. CrashBash (talk) 12:12, 4 March 2016 (EST)
 * It's possible that SEGA will reveal other characters, but I think it's better anyway to have only information based on the trailers for the Wii U version.--Mister Wu (talk) 15:41, 4 March 2016 (EST)
