Mario & Sonic: Winter games coming to Wii U

4.7
A new Mario & Sonic game is headed to the Wii U. Mario & Sonic: Winter Games reunites the members of the Mushroom Kingdom with Sonic and friends for a bit of snowy competition. Winter Games will offer lots of events that make use of both Wii Motion Plus and the Wii U GamePad, sometimes in combination. For example, the Biathlon uses the Wii Remote for skiing, while the GamePad is used as a scope for rifle sections. (Side note: The Biathlon is a weird event.)

Other events shown include bobsledding, snowboarding, skiing, skating and more.

Launch timing was not announced, though winter seems like a good bet.

They will never do this because it takes the focus of Mario games away from Nintendo consoles which the don't want plus there has never been a Mario game on anything but a Nintendo consoles. But I do agree it would be very cool.

The Winter Sport Games were always my favorite games with the Wii, like We Ski and Snowboard. That game provided me with hours of entrainment. I wish they still made these games for my original Wii.
