A new 3DS game sees Mario and Sonic team up to compete in a whole range of different Olympic games. You can download to three other 3DS’s and play four players in each of the different events. There’s also a Pocket Marathon mode than uses the motion sensor in the 3DS to act like a pedometer and challenge people to get outside and get active.

O único jogo que vale aqui é o de Vôlei de Praia, o jogo é chato, e jogar no 3ds não é uma experiência tão legal assim

É definitivamente um jogo, fiquei decepcionado porque não era igual ao de Wii U que eu via o Leon jogando. E por algum motivo o meu cartucho dele não funciona mais, deve ser um sinal.

The main story mode of this one – Road to Rio – is absolutely awful. It’s all about grinding stats by playing “training” games as your Mii instead of the main sports. These training events aren’t even original, they’re taken from the 3DS London Olympics game, although I do like the admission that the events in that game aren’t proper events. It makes the mode very tedious.

Luckily, the individual events are much better, with this version being a lot more enjoyable than the Wii U version. It had 14 events and each one has a “plus” version, which is essentially the dream variant.

Golf is a particular highlight. The main mode is a very good gold game, using the 3DS touch pad to hit the ball. The plus version adds lots of fun obstacles and features, such as ? blocks, ramps and boost pads. It’s an extremely fun mode. I would have loved to see this turned into its own game with more courses and it may by my favourite event in any of the Olympic games so far.

The rest are all pretty good, some utilising the touchpad (like Javelin) and some using the buttons. Archery uses the gyro really well. There’s nothing overly annoying such as blowing into the microphone, so it created a nice variety of events. The plus versions are a lot of fun, except for Boxing which just made it much worse. Volleyball has an interesting bingo mechanic, while Long Jump adds a spring which you have to use as a right angle.

While the main story is quite bad, the events more than make up for it, especially golf.

está entretenido, pero la historia es muy corta y realmente la gran mayoría de mini-juegos dejan mucho que desear

Fuck this game man. Recycled minigames, a way worse story, barely any character interactions and I now have a permanent scratch in my 3DS screen because of it. Those minigames are still good at least but fuck. What a sad conclusion to me playing all of these.
