Mario & Sonic At The Rio 2016 Olympic Games: Overview Video Games

While sports fans discussed Euro 2016 and the final series of American basketball and hockey leagues, two main video game talisman of the 90s have already moved to the Olympics. Despite falling popularity, Nintendo continues to send Mario and Sonic to the main sport review of four. It’s sad or fun – let’s see.Win the medals here are quite simple – at the initial stage they ourselves float.
Run on the sofa

The real Olympiad begins with an impressive opening ceremony, where the delegations of the participants carry flags. In the virtual version, there is not even a similar screensaver – we just offer to choose, for which state we will conquer the medals. And the main character is not someone from the characters of the universes Super Mario And Sonic the Hedgehog, And your avatar – MI9. It is immediately thrown onto the famous Rio de Janeiro beach, Copacaban, who here performs the role of “Haba”. At first, it is necessary to participate only in training matches in any of the seventeen sports, but all other modes are gradually becoming available.

They, unfortunately, not so much. If the version for Nintendo 3Ds had a normal plot for both teams, here the player simply offer to compete with other MII on three levels of difficulty in every discipline. Avatars are taken from real people, but to fight with a living person will work out only if he sits on one sofa with you. IN Mario & Sonic At The Rio 2016 For joint competitions, you can use Wii Remote, the movement control is not at all that is very convenient. But the absence of a full-fledged online depresses.

And where is the fast hedgehog and loving plumber mushrooms? Talismans Nintendo And SEGA Along with the partners are available in only two modes – these are single matches and the so-called Heroes Showdown, in which sports are chosen by chance, the losers of the opponents drop out of the competition, and we need to defeat the captain. Entertainment is english, especially thanks to the additional rules, but the main thing does not pull.

Maloborier

Sports disciplines not too much. Unique – fourteen. Three of them – football, rugby and beach volleyball – In addition to the usual mode, a duel is offered. There you can, for example, charge the defender of the opposite team by the energy ball. For each successful attack, points are accrued, which plunge into points for scored goals and tachdows. So you can dial one hundred points in one attack and solve the outcome of the fight. Of the three main competitions, only football frustrate – for some reason, for some reason, there were all four field players instead of the previous six. From this sport lost its tactical flexibility and a variety and can quickly bore even in duel.So started Zombiu ..
The rest of the Olympic program offers simple, fast and gambling mini-games. Swells, swims and races are managed, fortunately, easy and simple, to master them will be able to and grandmother and grandmother. And for sure among dozen there is a one where he wants to spend more time. Someone will like artistic gymnastics made in rhythm game format. And someone will hone the skill of running for a hundred meters, competing in the online table with Japanese masters of fast pressing on one button.

Unfortunately, Mario and Sonic Arena and Events disappeared. All stadiums have real prototypes, and about the mushroom kingdom and the Emerald Island remind unless that objects in duoal sports. Well, the rings with coins – the local currency that you can spend on printing for the MIIVERSE social network and the costumes for avatar. Clothes affects the indicators of strength, speed and technology – a combination hat and suit, you can customize the character under a specific competition. And just laugh, sinking a huge horsepower.

Other avatars always roam around Copakaban, they can get advice or find out an interesting fact about the country participating. In general, the interface in Mario & Sonic At The Rio 2016 Uncomplicated and colorful. His simplicity and clarity compensates for the absence of Russian. Annate except for downloads and long explanations of rules in front of short competitions.

The team of the youth of ours

“Pumping” Avatar, maybe someone and interesting, but the main characters are still those whose names are the game and named. Together with Mario and Sonic two teams represent only twenty heroes. Each athlete has unique characteristics depending on the sport, but overall rivals are divided into fast, technical and powerful, although there are balanced.

Selection Good: Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Vario and Dunki Kong, Naklis, Amy Rose, Dr. Eggman and Metal Sonic – All the main actors franchises. And gradually guests come out in the arena, but they must be previously defeated in the tournament mode, after which these special characters will become available, but only in one sport and only for the exhibition match.The list of characters is not bad, but the secret are used in prisons.
Very disappointing because fourteen wrestlers are not used for complete. Put in the Rosalina football team from SUPER MARIO GALAXY? Use a fast jar of jet in cycling? Will not work. The same characters suggest in Heroes Showdown. But there can not be used there. And friendly competitions and a monotonous tournament against MII quickly will be bored if there are no friends nearby.

The best thing Mario & Sonic At The Rio 2016 reveals precisely in the company and in the duel of sports. Some crazy rules, matching matches and a variety of characters – all this creates the right atmosphere to play with friends who may not even be “hardcore gamers”.

First children’s discharge

Another audience – children must like the outside of the Olympiad from Mario. Bright, juicy paints turn compete on holiday. A lively tribunes filled with secondary heroes of two franchises are added to multicolored pretty athletes. The effects of water with splashes, as well as sand, the traces of which seem to be quite real. In general, it is exactly the game that can and should be shown to younger schoolchildren and even preschoolers.

For children, in theory, extensive support for AMIIBO figures – heroes are experiencing three more than a dozen. Strengthening abilities and new costumes for them simply suggest. But there are almost no such functions here – you can only get additional “clothes” for MII and strengthen its ability. In addition, you can not use the figures at once, which also upsets.

But the sound did not turn up – the music here, as on the carnival, much, and the whole of it is very incendiary. Say animals rarely, speakers and no commentator, but players will certainly perform in their role. Another nice feature – the picture from the TV is constantly broadcast on the tablet controller, so if you wish, you can not use the big screen at all.In Heroes Showdown, you need to properly combine the troops of the characters in order not to lose the key performers.***
Preparation of the Mario and Sonic national team for Wii U was carried out either in a big hurry, or with a big laziness. There are no two critical modes – network and plot. And a half dozen competitions cut in comparison with the portable version. Hedgehog with a plumber only convenient management, bright graphics and support for multiplayer competitions for one console. If you do not plan to often gather a big company and did not try all the “Party” games – it’s better to pass by.
