IGN GIVE MARIO AND SONIC A 7.9!
IGN - November 6, 2007

Wii owners are no strangers to the mini-game genre. Now only a year after release, Nintendo's new system is being bombarded with simple, "everyone-friendly" titles that deliver en mass, but not always with quality in mind. Even looking at the top-tier titles in its category Wii is already pretty saturated, with things like Mario Party, Wii Play, Namco Museum, Wario Ware, Rayman (and its sequel), and countless others.

Mario and Sonic Olympics DS w/Online Leaderboards
Nintendic - December 4, 2007

Yup, the good news is that via the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, DS players from around the world will be able to upload their best Olympic performances for all to say, adding much-needed longevity to what boils down to a rather unsatisfying single player experience. On the multiplayer side, it has been revealed that up to four DS owners will be able to compete at once in events that range from the 100m sprint and archery to trampoline and the so-called Dream Events...

Review (5/10)

Apart from having an entirely different control system, a rejigged multiplayer mode and not being as good, M&S DS is pretty much the same game as the Wii one. You play as one of 16 characters from the worlds of Mario and Sonic. In theory their skill-sets vary - some are strong, some are speedy and so on. But in practice (and as in the Wii game) it's hard to notice a great deal of difference between them.

1@kspraydad,
thats what i think it probably is as well because as everybody knows a few hundred thousand either way can jump prices all over the place and this is just a small decrease. my main issue is that i think its undervalued atm anyway and should be on the increase not decreasing.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]bids
1@vGInfidel,
That is a *very* small retreat in price that you are worried about.
I'd say it is just some profit taking from the $225 to $265 jump as people seek to make a 'quick buck' elsewhere...[ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 475 ]bids
1so the two versions combined have already sold over 5million in the first three months and should still have another 4 months of good sales left until the olympics. current valuation puts the total of the two at 7.3million, meaning in the next four months its not going to sell 50% of what it did in three. yet this is still dropping in price? maybe its down to the breakdown on each system but even then i cant see the reasoning as the DS has a much higher install base. i know the wii will outsell the DS version as party games tend to do worse on the DS when compared to the Wii but i just cant see a valid reason for the price to be dropping.[ Oracle ] [ Level 22 ] [ Rank: 150 ]
