Mario & Sonic at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics - Japanese Trailer - Story Mode/Dream Events + MORE
- Thread starter BlueStarEXSF
- Start date
As I said in the other thread, an absolutely incredible amount of content and could be one of the best Switch multiplayer games instantly.
I hope the skateboarding/rock-climbing-surfing/judo aren't complete duds though.

I want this to be good, but at the end of the day the events need to be fun to play, and that's where this series tends to falter. I'll still keep an eye on it though
The content looks so plentiful, but as the poster above me said, it's all for naught if individual min-games aren't compelling.
.the problem was the use of the motion control/Wii U gamepad
in this one there is a classic option control.
Yes.
But the game doesn't seem to have some unlockables features (characters or events).
Glad you made a thread for this trailer. It's insane.
The main roster of characters has been unchanged since the second game, and I feel like that's the reason why. Would be nice if, after all these entries, they would expand the main roster a bit. There are a lot of characters only available to specific events which is just weird to me.
this game is shaping up to be way bigger and better than i expected. i expect it to become a huge hit.
Iirc, the director on this one is responsible for the best one of these previously? I'm really liking a bunch of what I'm seeing for this.
Make a whole game around the dream events
Or expand on some of the normal ones. I would pay $60 for a fully fleshed out Mario/Sonic boxing game

What are you spouting?
There are plenty of dadbod nipple action going on there.
As soon as I saw that trailer I knew people would be talking Eggman's nipples.
Anyway, I've never played this series before. Looks like they're going all out on this entry. Maybe it's time.
Are "dream events" just mini what-if events? Or are they fleshed out some? Is that what the hover-boarding was?

Dream events were generally modified events that incorporate mechanics like items (and sometimes super moves, but those seem to be in some standard events now too) and areas based on Sonic's and Mario's worlds. The ones in this game seem completely different from any of the standard events though, like dream karate being a 4 player arena brawler rather than just the Karate mini-game with items thrown in.
Overweight middle-aged men finally getting the representation they deserve.
The two new trailers in the past day have really have changed a lot of people's minds (including my own). London was a (relatively) high bar for this game to reach, but they're definitely trying. As someone who has kinda cared about this sub-series, I only have two problems with Tokyo 2020 from what we've seen:
- We're still stuck with the same 20 character roster for the fifth game in a row. It doesn't even seem like we'll get Event-Excluisive characters like Rio did, which is a bummer.
- There are only three Dream Events total. Still an improvement over Rio's zero, but a far-cry from the 10 in London (and none of them seem as crazy as stuff like Spacewalk).
- The number of events is finally back up to where London was. Rio failed to impress with only 14 of them.
- Everything about the Tokyo 1964 mode is great (I can forgive the small character roster). It's a decent compromise for a smaller Dream Event selection.
- There may only be a few, but Dream Events are (thankfully) back.
- They finally tried putting together a Story Mode for a console installment, and it doesn't look that bad. The minigames in the JP trailer seem pretty neat.

To continue on the most relevant issue here.
I would say that Wario has nipples, but they are VERY light.

Damn right it's about time. All we see is the hunks and beefs in games these days. Show the dadbod some love.
Funnily enough, the original Mario&Sonic for Wii has sold more than any Mario Party game.
Man this is really making me miss those old Olympic/Decathlon style titles that were all about timing and button mashing. My brother and I used to spend hours one-upping each other in those.
