E3 Update: Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games trailer video

Two of videogame history’s most beloved heroes go head-to-head at the greatest competition of sports history in this E3 trailer video of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, the title coming out for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii. We get you the facts and just the facts in this rather bizarre-but-awesome IP that pits two legendary licenses against each other.

While one can argue that Sonic could automatically win every speed-based event, and Mario would be an absolute shoe-in for the world record when it comes to the swimming and jumping events, it seems that everyone’s playing fair this time – if the first race in the trailer is anything to go by, it seems. Still, if it means a next-gen Track & Field-ish game with our favorite characters, a little suspension-of-disbelief isn’t too much to ask for, isn’t it?

Updates as we get them. Ready, set – enjoy that video!
