Mario & Sonic E3 Trailer

People who say that the Wii doesn't have enough coming out to appeal to "Hardcore" gamers... I don't get `em. Textbook example: I've been waiting for THIS GAME for SIXTEEN YEARS. And I know I'm not the only one. If THAT'S not "hardcore," I dunno what is.

In any case, this is it: The official E3 trailer for "Mario & Sonic at The Olympic Games," in which the longest-running and onetime most-heated character rivalry in video game history finally comes to a head in an actual game. My inner-child (is that even still a term of use in psychiatry?) is still pretty mopey from "Transformers," but THIS did an awful lot to cheer him up. And, hell, adult-me will have to admit as well: When I saw the shot of the two sets of shoes walking into the auditorium, the hair honestly stood up on the back of my neck.



Words fail me. Well done, Nintendo/Sega... now, REALLY thrill me by secretly dropping Sonic into Smash Bros.
