The story mode of winter olympics ds will always be elite
You’re absolutely right. The story was incredible and the OST is very underrated. 🎶
That’s what should’ve been a Mario and Sonic crossover imo
I beat that story mode. I just didn't 100% it. Though now, idk how I even completed the story mode when I booted up the game again a month ago
DS version of Winter Olympics is probably the best in the series.
-A full fledged single player campaign
-Better Olympic events
-Better Dream events
-Amazing music
-Better roster
While London Olympics 2012 on the Wii was the best of the consoles games
-Memorable Dream events
-More Regular events which are pretty cool
-The ability to customize your Miis and that each outfit gives different stats (which that returned from Winter Olympics Wii but with the twist of getting scratch cards everytime you play events)
-A somewhat good party mode with fun minigames outside of events.
-The return of Rival battles (still sucks you can't play as any of em)
-And overhaul the game is better than the Beijing olympics with a different charm.
The thing is (I’m commenting as I watch) Bowser and Eggman did team up in the DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic winter games’s story mode.
Yeah, he said that Bowser and Eggman teaming up would be "out of character" even though both of them are no stranger to teaming with others.
To answer your question about what Skill characters specialize in, they make certain skill-based events or actions take less effort to execute. For example, in Trampoline they require less inputs and in Skeet and Archery, they have much larger crosshairs and accuracy, making it easier to shoot discs and arrows respectively.
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games is the best game in the series for me they added so many new dream events that were a lot more different from the base game and I remember the party mode being pretty good.
I’d specifically look at the DS version of the second game.
The DS version focuses more on the dream events, and the controls are a lot more accurate since they generally use more buttons and the touch screen
The Mario and Sonic At the London Olympics for the Wii was the best of the Olympic Games. The Dream Events were just Peak🔥
fr fr London 2012 the GOAT
Overrated the real best one was the 2010 one on DS
We all wanted the series about Mario & Sonic back. They were good friends. Could you please tell Nintendo and Sega about this?
I can never be mad at these games. While a crossover platformer with good gameplay would be amazing, this is how I got into the Sonic series. I played the Beijing game at my cousins, my mom got us the Vancouver game, I played Secret Rings afterwards, and now it's one of my favorite series
I believe this is the only Mario & Sonic game with the Sonic 1 & 2 music. Sega doesn't own the rights, so even with them recycling Green Hill the location, they only use the theme on special occasions.
Honestly the London 2012 one is the best in the series. It brings the best memories for me as I used to play all the time from the ages of 6-10. It just has one of the best variety of sports and dream events and it has so much more to offer than the other games in my opinion.
mario and sonic @ the 2010 vancouver winter olympics is PEAK
6:16 fun fact all of these characters are all unused in the game files
Oh really? I do know that Espio and Cream appear as NPCs
You should totally look at not only the 2010 Winter Olympics like you said, but also the 2012 London Olympics as well. Its after that the series went downhill, but I imagine you'll love these two!
We might never get a real crossover with these series because of these games, but I swear the quality of the models for the Sonic characters in the newer Olympic games are better than the mainline Sonic game models we've got now.
This series was how I was introduced to Sonic and all the respective characters from that in the first place.
This kinda makes me want to go back and try the game with a friend 🤔 I wonder if there's a cheap version on Switch.. Maybe with less fiddley controls than the wii 😄 Thanks for the memory trip!
Played the ever living heck out of the DS version. Was so rad
The fact they put Sega character in f-zero it's wild fun fact the cgi cutscenes was made by Marza animation so you know you will get that quality cutscenes there
I wish we got an RPG crossover of Sonic and Mario.
I was thinking it would be like persona Q where you can have a team of 5 and as you progress you get more Mario and Sonic characters to join you. Each Mario and Sonic characters have special abilities from their games and you can even play as your Mii character since miitopia gave them super powers
The ds winter Olympics's story mode is THE thing that made the series good imo.
Like that mode took me like a month to beat back then.
I was just glad that they were able to give us a Mario and a Sonic crossover at all. I love the Olympic series and hope for many more! And have hope that one day we get a platformer.
I love the rio Olympic on the 3ds, playing as my mii character in story mode.
But London Olympic is the best one.
The more you think about it the more it sort of makes sense
This series peaked at 2012, and they still haven't been able to top it.
Innit man. I still have that game ever since I got in 2018. I did first play it in 2014 or 15 tho I think and it became my favourite in the series. It just brings good memories. Not to mention that it introduced the UK's (my country's) most popular sport: football. It's so fun.
Waluigi/Wario main here.
Skill/Technique is very broad but the gist is that those characters are better at more intricate stuff like timing, precision, aim, handling, rhythm, etc.
For example, they have a much better crosshair in archery.
I have more fond memories for the Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games Wii Version as that took what the original had and enhanced it. Not to mention, I was visiting London during the Olympic Games.
Every time I listen to the opening cinematic and watch it, seeing Mario & Sonic at the top of Elizabeth Tower, shaking hands, it always seems to make me well up.
loving these longer videos!
I remember first playing the London 2012 Wii version in 2013 and still today over 10 years, still is a game I love, it's a great party game first and foremost, but the crossover aspect is delightful, London Party is so much fun, the Dream Events are phenomenal, the game has so much content to unlock like the music and Mii Costumes, the Challenges list and the quality of the events and music, that I keep coming back at very least once a year nowadays, it's truly a masterpiece. I also loved the Vancouver 2010 Wii and DS versions, specially the former for the awesome Adventure Mode. I know Mario & Sonic post London, were lackluster and such, but I still hoped the series didn't end, because I know Sega could deliver a great Mario & Sonic Olympic Game if they put effort to it, but it seems now that a return is not gonna happen, since Paris 2024 is just 2 months away, and thats a shame. But hey, if they are done with the Olympics for real, can they make an RPG then next? The Adventure Mode is kinda like one, so there is potential to be had at the very least.
the story mode in winter olympics ds deserves it won video its peak
also the music in this series is surprisingly spectacular
especially the winter olympics, its a clean mix of both epic orchestra and catchy synths
Would’ve been cool for a full crossover but this spin-off was still fun for a while I remember I sometime have London 2012 and put it in and have a blast
This game was a huge part of my childhood and how i got into gaming today. It all started with Sonic The Hedgehog.
Even my best friend got into it because of Mario.
My first crossover game i ever enjoyed playing was Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Winter Games back in 2010 when my Mom first rented it when she used to work for Blockbuster.
Truly was a blast and what made me the creative mind that i am today.
Same for my best friend.
And we're like Mario and Sonic as real people. 😂
I do think the DS versions are worth talking about, as each version in a given pair has exclusive content, and even the events shared between versions tend to have their own quirks that distinguish them.
hey man i really love your video's keep up the good work.
London Games on the Wii is my personal favorite. More dream events & things to do like unlocking mii costumes and London party. I used to clock so many hours in. Winter Games DS is also great solely for the Story Mode!
The only part of this game that I remember from this is the throwing one because I think I’ve only played it once at my grandparents house
This game and especially winter games was my childhood! You should totally cover winter as well!
I remember liking the Winter Olympics one so I wouldn’t mind going back to it
Just your reminder that Sega and Sonic still exist, and have positive interactions with the fanbase and public exclusively because the parent company, Sammy, needs the good PR
No, Sega and Sonic still exist exclusively because of the strength of Sonic's character design and overall IP. As Arin Hanson once said: "There's a lot of mascots stuck in a limbo bacause of one failed title like Banjo-Kazooie, there's just something about Sonic's eyes that appeals to people."
@@OhKayEl I recently saw a documentary about how Sammy buying Sega saved it from bankruptcy or something damn close.
I had the second game in the series and remember having loads of fun with it as a kid. I still have it on me, too!
2010 Winter Olympics is so fire, that video would be awesome
I had the winter games on Wii for the Canadian Olympics
The unlockable village was awesome I played apt of bobsledding snowboarding and the snowball fights
The best Dream Event is the Beach Volleyball Duet in Rio 2016. It's so competitive that my friends and I still play it to this date.! 🏅
So sad that the poor quality 2020 version killed the franchise. We could've been getting a Parisian game today. 😥
I LOVED the 2010 winter games version
Winter Olympics was so great when I was a kid. I remember thinking the first one was terrible when I went and tried it after loving the second
0:19 luffy...
personally, i think it would be cool to see a crossover with mario & sonic made like the mario and luigi games on the gba (and bowsers inside story) i think a crossover like that would be best.
2010 DS and 2012 Wii were easily the peak of the series
I can't stay mad at the Olympic games tho, it was a neat idea and some dream events were cool. Specially Vancouver 2010 one, damn, they actually tried to make a plot in that one.
I actually looked into this game's files not too long ago, and found SIX unused dream events. There was gonna be a bigger emphasis on them that just never made the cut sadly. :(
OH, for anyone wondering, they're...
Dream Canoe
Dream Hammer Throw
Dream Basketball
Dream Football
Dream Archery
Dream Shooting
There's also some unused olympic games too, such as Quadruple Sculls, Double Trap, and 800m.
1:14 this was also kinda a mistake as well because Sammy is the reason why the quality of Sonic games was all over the place from 2004-2017 now however though it seems they actually seem to care about Sonic now and consider the franchise as a way to make money so they are now restructuring and giving Sonic team more people and budget
london 2012 olympics is my favorite Mario & Sonic Game
LETS GOOOOO NEW MARIO AND SONIC VIDEO!!!
My headcanon is that Sonic wears Speed Down boots to make it fair for everyone else.
Or he just slows down not using his full speed.
But I think everyone can keep up with Sonic.
the skill type characters are for like shooting, table tennis and archery
Please look at the Olympic winter games (2010) it’s In my opinion the best in the series
Ahh, that game was my childhood! I still own a copy and play it occasionally
I do indeed remember when the first game had come out as I was 19 years old the time in 2007 and I just didn't have any interest in the game. I think I really just had my sports fixed with Wii sports so I just didn't really care about Olympic video games. Maybe I should have given some of these games a chance but ultimately I did not. I do remember they're being an advertisement for the Vancouver Winter Olympics video game though but I don't remember seeing an ad for the Beijing summer Olympic ones except when somebody shared a video on MySpace
I remember when 2008 came out I thought it was fake
Others have mentioned it too but I would recommend checking out the DS version of the second game as well as London 2012, where the series peaked imo
I guess I’ll have to give them a try, then
i hope one day we can get a platformer crossover between the two somehow
Nice combo of all time
10:55 lol
DS version has a mission mode where the final mission is a rival battle like:
Shadow VS Luigi
Peach VS Amy
Wario VS Knuckles
Sonic VS Mario
Waluigi VS ...Dr Eggman somehow instead of Bowser which is kinda strange (i'm pretty sure his rival was Eggman, but I could be misremembering it)
the DS version also have events not present in the Wii version of the game
like 10 meter platform which did return to the Tokyo version of the game under the game's retro mode
Dream Long Jump
Dream Shooting
and Dream Basketball
tho multiplayer in that version works much better if both own a copy of the game as the download mode is very limited in comparison
- somehow Miis got left out in the Tokyo edition tho
they weren't in the DS version either, but there it makes sense as the Nintendo DS doesn't have a Mii Maker
You need to play London 2012, I'd argue it's the best Mario and Sonic game
There is only one problem with this game it reuses voice clips from MP5, MP6 along with Wario, Waluigi, and Yoshis artwork, MP7, and MKDD, including artwork from DDR Mario Mix for Mario and Luigi and artwork from SM64 DS for Bowser, So yeah not too much
knuckles is a remarkable bobsleder
What about the DS version?
I remember renting London 2012 on the Wii from Redbox back in the day and loving it. I hadn’t played it until I recently bought it last year. It was honestly really disappointing. I don’t know why I loved it so much back then. Maybe because I like basically any game I played? I don’t know.
Winter Olympics on DS has gotta my favorite withour a doubt. Maybe I'll consider London on Wii for a close second, but Winter Olympics DS is my favorite purely for story mode.
The video's name should be for a Tokyo Mirage Sessions video
4:50 crash bash time
"Skeet is simple"
Core memories
Played the winter Olympic Games 1, can confirm it's a really good game
Shame you don't have the DS version, as that is the good one.
I still want some sort of platformer for a sonic and mario crossover, idk how they'll do it but they could do it more better now since hardware has improve so the possibilities are endless (no pun intended) they can have a sandbox thing and maybe the world could be a mix of both dimensions in a corrupt sense.maybe they can add coop type experience. Idk i believe there is true potential now then before. And also the switch 2 better have good performance and not burb into a vrisp i swear to god
I love this game ngl
They should do a platformer like sonic encore mode
I Love Mario Vs Sonic ❤ With Nintendo And Sega But I’m A Nintendo Fan Of Super Mario Fans
Never understood how they got the biggest gaming icons to crossover and they made it a mini game collection. Like Mario x Rabbids has better gameplay
Man, you really need to play the DS version. Not only does it have better controls, but it also has more Dream Events as well.
Facts, I've played it and it's very fun
I played 2012 & I still adore that game. It'd be cool if u checked that 1 out in particular
Yeah, I might as well try the rest of the Wii and DS games at least
I think the Olympic Games can be put to rest now, the novelty has already worn off and I’d like to see a Mario & Sonic RPG, I know there would be a big audience for it if SMBZ is anything to go by and plus Sonic himself deserves a good RPG after whatever Chronicles was trying to be with its funny bad music that people like meme about.
It's a cool idea for a crossover on paper. It just sucks how they reduced the idea to a mostly boring sports series.
0:00
How about all five.
imo they perfected this franchise in the two following games; the first one was good on its own as long as you were fine with the Wii's motion controls, but Vancouver and London really stepped up the game. (Although I do feel a bit bad learning these games were made by the Jet Set Radio devs, as it kinda feels like these games were the reason for that series' hiatus)
I found Tokyo a bit underwhelming and Rio a freaking disaster. Oh, and my Sochi copy just wouldn't load, ever. :L
Why is there no Mario & Sonic kart
I like the Olympic Games and all... But SERIOUSLY. Two of the most popular gaming icons in the WORLD have yearly crossovers, and all they do with it is play sports? Its honestly a little infuriating, because there's so much potential in an actual PROPER Sonic and Mario crossover, but they never do anything with it. Its just a glorified Mario sports game instead. :(
Fortnite has not Sonic but Roblox has
I played both the Wii and DS Version of this game, I prefer the DS one honestly
Sorry, but Super Mario Bros Z > Olympics
More than being the best series of Internet, we find out that it always is the best, cuz it doesnt need to be pay or being fresh...is just simple but amazing.
How is this greater than Super Smash Bros. Ultimate hm?
hello
Ok
Sweet! I'm Early!
I don't like this. I would love to see a plateforme cross...
This is the worst IMO as we could have an epic game using the 2 mascots who teams up and fights against the villains of their respective games and have an epic plot ,they chose to make it into a sports game which is good but come on we can have better than something that is better than the Olympic Games
There’s been better crossovers
youre doing a great disservice by not covering the handheld games
you should defiantly do a follow up video because this aint it man
im not in fortnite
Hard disagree
