Film Promotion Blitz Planned Through Summer in Europe
Attention European fans–Mario and Sonic may be at a big screen near you…just not quite in the way you imagined.
It won’t be a feature length clash of the video game titans, but rather ads promoting the upcoming Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games that will be seen in theaters across Europe. According to Sega Nerds, Sega bought ad time preceding some of this summer’s big blockbusters, including Up, G-Force and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
The company is trying to target family demographics as a means to even further expand the sequel’s potential success. The original Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games sustained gangbuster sales for Sega in Europe, and these ads may only extend what are expected to be high hopes for the Winter Olympics variant. In all, 7.5 million moviegoers are expected to be reached by this initiative.
For the moment, it only appears the 30 second ads will run in cinemas throughout Europe. There’s no indication on whether Sega has bought ad time elsewhere in the world.

I’m sad because this game is not for the 360º too
, I hope they make a Sonic Unleashed 2 or something I can’t wait for SONIC’s next big adventure! 
Guys I want to ask you about Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection a.k.a. Sega Mega Drive Collection, I currenctly own Sonic Mega Collection plus and Sonic Gems Collection for the PS2, should I get SUGC for the 360º or not? (please give me your thougs/reasons why I should or shouldn’t get this please.
I’m just a Hardcore Sonic Fan and I’m very curious about that game, but if I don’t buy that game I will use that money to buy another one I want
Of course it’s not for the 360. The 360 doesn’t support waggle. Also Mario.
As for SUGC, it depends. If you want to get a great collection of Sega Genesis games for a cheap price then definitely buy it. However if you want it simply for the sake of Sonic games, then definitely pass. You aren’t missing out on anything in that department, just annoying in game borders and stupid filters. I don’t care if the games are technically “HD” once you get crisp pixels that’s as good as you’re going to get.
Not only that but S3&K isn’t included on the collection. This is a bit of a bummer.
If you like a lot of the older Genesis games such as Ristar, Shinobi, Comix Zone, Vectorman, Alex Kidd, etc… then you’d definitely want to pick it up. But as far as just Sonic goes, Mega Collection Plus is WAYY better. SUGC has all of his Genesis games, but SMCP has more than just those, Plus you can use Sonic & Knuckles Lock-On feature, which you can’t do in SUGC

OMG I hope the ad comes to the US I always wanted to see Mario & Sonic *epic voice* ON THE BIG SCREEN
PJMAN and Blash@: ok thank you both you have helped me a lot, It’s just cause I miss playing Sonic Jam (a.k.a. Sonic BEST compilation game) not only that game has all genesis collection (including the lock-on capability with S2&K and S3&K) but also the SUPER FANTASTIC Sonic World with all the history ok Sonic The Hegdehog, I was wondering if that has been recreated in SUGC ( – the Sonic world of course). If you anwser this I would be happy with that, THANKS U very mutch
well i going to send a letter of sonic unleashed 2 of my idea if you guys to tell me some i will send they will might do it don’t forget a sonic movie in 2010
philip : Hate to burst your bubble their is no Sonic movie in 2010 that was just a prank by some users on wikipedia
can’t some one record it so we can all see it
Are we going to see this MF game in action ffs! I am getting annoyed!
interesting
Yay!
Omfog!!!
How cool would it be to see Sonic on the big screen? Plz keep us informed tssz if it comes to Oz I’ll see G-Force just for that!
@Edwin &Phillip: A Sonic movie… *dreams* except it would probably be rubbish – sorta like what happened to Dragonball. And it would probably be turned live-action or something… it’s sad to say but I mean that, too -_-’ Deathnote, anyone?
@Tails the hedgehog: Mello!
So, what, are they making a Night of the Werehog type of short for the Olympics, or are they just gonna show some trailers for the game? Either one works, I guess.
If I get a copy of the Winter Olympics, it’s gonna be the one for the DS, seeing as how I don’t have a Wii and I’m not entirely fond of the motion controls.
