Eurogamer has put up a list of events Sega has included in the upcoming Mario & Sonic at the Olympics Wii title.
- Fencing - Individual epée
- Archery
- Shooting - Skeet
- Gymnastics - Trampoline
- Gymnastics - Vault
- Field - High Jump
- Field - Pole Vault
- Field - Long Jump
- Field - Triple Jump
- Field - Javelin Throw
- Field - Hammer Throw
- Rowing - Single Sculls
- Table Tennis - Singles
- Aquatics - 100m Freestyle
- Aquatics - 4x100m Freestyle
- Track - 110m and 400m Hurdles
- Track - 4x100m Relay
- Track -100m and 400m
The above list is a bit disappointing for me. It would seem that most of the games are quite shallow and will merely be a matter of waggling the controllers as fast as you can. The only games that seems like they may have at least a some depth are fencing, shooting, and table tennis - and two of those have already been attempted in the Wii Play game (and attempted quite poorly).
I know it's asking for too much to get a more meaty olympic sport thrown in there like soccer, basketball, water polo, or wrestling, but seeing the list of events they have decided to include definitely leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
