No, this is the second... we only know about Lost World and this.

The 3DS version doesn't count as the 2nd of three then? They really aren't the same game at all.

[Master Emerald]

There's no 3DS version (the topic description is Wrong).

Did the 2012 3DS game sell terribly or something? I never did pick it up but the Winter 2010 game for DS was at least pretty good.

Sorry, I meant of Lost World. If the 3DS version of that counts as the second game, than this would be the third.

[Master Emerald]

Nah, the third game was set to be released in 2014.

The 3DS is doing well, while the Wii U... isn't. My guess is that Nintendo asked for a Wii U version only to try and sell consoles.

It wasn't at the time. 3DS version appears to have got lost somewhere.

[TimmiT]

Actually, I don't think a 3DS version was ever announced. We just assumed so at the time cause all previous Mario & Sonic games had a DS or 3DS version.

[Overlord]

Whatever. I've edited the topic title anyway.

So far, here's what the reviews are whining about:

• No new characters. Of course, if there *were* new characters, they'd be whining about that, too. (You can't really add that many new characters to M&S anyway - while there's several more Sonic characters that could be added, there aren't enough Mario characters to balance it out.)
  
• Requires Wii Motion Plus. You can bet that they won't be whining about Xbone or PS4 not being compatible with 360 or PS3 controllers, though.
  
• Fewer events. Perhaps it's because several of the events in 2010 were merely clones of each other? (Winter Olympics is merely 50 different kinds of sliding, after all. )
  
• Online play sucks because "in a few years, no one will be online to play". (uh huh)

You'd think that based on past history with reviewers' "OMFG THE GAME IS IN ACH DEE!!!" reviews, they'd be content with just the fact that M&S 2014 is ACH DEE!!!11111

tl;dr I'll be doing an actual review once I get the game on Friday. [Review copy not provided; I'm buying the game myself.]

These games are just cockteases of what could be and are only worthwhile for the mixes that come out of the whole shebang. Music rip where?

[Overlord]

Well, that's a track I wasn't expecting a remix of. They need to keep making these games if just for these things =P
