Hooray Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games!
EXCITE!

I wonder how close the game is to completion and how much they will show. I'd like to see the event list and if there are any new characters, although I suppose the best piece of news would be the release date.

No surprises here as all of these were already confirmed to be at E3. I am a little disappointed that the realistic Olympic game won't be coming to the Wii though.

I am surprised this is a horrible E3 showing.  Only 2 Wii games, and one they are only publishing, so actually only 1 Wii game that they have been working on in house.  I am quite upset with this.  Sega get your butt in gear and work on quality Wii Games.

They were busy early this year with madworld, house of dead overkill. It's fine.

I hope that Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games has WiiMotionPlus support, however since the game was broken before and still sold why would they include quality controls. Casual gamers don't know what quality games are and will buy anyway so why bother making it quality.

Considering Sega's current state, I see them publishing games as more of a blessing now.

That's the kind of attitude that bankrupts companies. Casuals don't read reviews but they talk to each other, if one buys a shitty game he'll tell everybody, if one buys a game he likes he'll also tell people.

The controls work fine, don't blame the game just because you suck at it.
