Me thinks the author doesn't enjoy real life sport, or they would know that badmington and fencing are very enjoyable.

I am really looking forward to this game, mario and sonic always comes out at parties as it is great drunken entertainment.

As a keen fencer and badminton player, I take issue with your opening paragraph!
Both are lightning fast, and require incredible speed of both movement, thought and reflex.
Fair enough, they're not brilliant spectator sports, but for participation, there's few I've found that beat them.

"The fact is that gaming has changed, like it or not, and not everybody is looking for a serious challenge. "

Not sure I agree with that. People have have changed and gaming has followed. Same thing, I s'pose.

Single cart multiplayer? That might actually be interesting. I have M&S for DS, but never played it much because it was kinda boring by yourself. However, I also happen to have two DS (now that I've got a Lite), so maybe some multiplayer is at hand here.

But if they think I'm going to buy both versions...

badmington is the faster racket sport in the world, how can that be dull? You really should give fencing a go, overlooked by most but really is fantastic fun.

I remember when Sonic and Mario were bitter enemies who would kill each other if they could. The way they have become friends disgusts me. Traitors to the good fanboy cause, both of them. They should be thrown into a cage and be made to fight to the death.

Sonick is probably one of those fanboys writing soucy Sonic soft porn/love stories at that forum Ellie linked to some time ago.

Shouldn't Sonic be hibernating?

@Malek

Shouldn't it be S&M you love?

M&S is Marks and Spencers

According to SEGA, the problem is the balance board takes up two Wii controller slots, and it's just not technically possible to create a game that uses two.


Not to mention if they ever did, the internet would be aflame with tards chastising Nintendo for requiring people to buy two balance boards.

all the Olympic events will be available for multiplayer games from the start.

At last, now can we make this standard. Wario Ware, Rayman and all you other games with stupid designers.

@Sky Blue Sam: I have to disagree that Badminton isn't a good spectator sport especially at the highest level e.g. All England Championships.
