The Olympic experiment has always been a sort of awkward cousin to the more striking Super Mario Party franchise, but Sega has a secret weapon up its sleeve this year: nostalgia! ![]() Their union is perhaps best illustrated through the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series, which has been pumping out steady releases since 2007. It was a partnership that required cooperation on both sides of the table, but has sustained itself for a long while. Mario and Sonic were so unilaterally ubiquitous with “video games” that you could hardly imagine them sharing the same room, much less working together hand-in-hand. ![]() I say this so often, but never in a million years did I dream that Sega would not only exit the console business, but partner up directly with Nintendo for decades to come.
