Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games is an upcoming sports game in development on the Wii U. It was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata during a Nintendo Direct presentation on May 17, 2013.

Gameplay
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games will feature a wide variety of Olympic winter sports, including skiing, snowboarding, bobsledding, pairs figure skating and curling. Players will have to use both the GamePad and the Wii Remote Plus, depending on the event in question. Curling, for example, requires players to draw lines on the GamePad's screen.

The game will also include fantastical events set in the world of Mario and Sonic, in which characters have special abilities not possible in the real world. Mixed events that combine sports like skiing, snowboarding and bobsledding in one race, will also be available. Judging by the screesnhots, figure skating can now be performed with two characters on the same team, team-working simultaneously.
