Video of the M&S Winter Olympics Leak

Tristan Oliver | October 8, 2009

winterolympicsThe Proof of a Major Leak Inside

It’s legit.

Scores of ISO copies from Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for the Wii are popping up on less reputable torrent sites.  TSSZ News confirmed yesterday the existence of one working link.

We won’t directly link to the download, but we will show you proof that yet another major title has slipped through Sega’s cracks and out into the public realm earlier than hoped.

You may have seen the video below by now.  It’s an eight and a half minute off-camera video of M&S in action, in Spanish.  The same video has intermittently popped up throughout YouTube, but in all likelihood will be gone at Sega’s wishes by the end of the day.

We thought about that.  With thanks to TSSZ News reader Indigo Rush, we’ve obtained a tangible copy of the video.  It is no different than some of the other ones you may have seen: It includes the game’s opening FMV, menu options, and a game of curling framed in a larger competition called Panel Flip.

The video is hosted on our servers, and we would like to share it with you, below.  The usual disclaimer applies…see it while you can.  We’ll continue to follow the fallout from this leak in the coming days.  Clearly, this is not something Sega nor Nintendo wanted.

    Um…. A Mario Party based minigame? No thanks.

    Geez…. That looked boring.

    This looks pretty cool.
    Unluckily I don’t have a Wii, despite the fact that I am a Mario fan and a Sonic fan
    If this was only on Dreamcast :( :P

    It looks nice. I mean with the epic music and everything. But the gameplay… uuu… I guess it’s okay. Could be worse. But I think it looks very far from how great it actually could be.
    No, I rather play Resident Evil 4: Wii edition then a bunch of simple mini games that gets old after just a few hours.

    But I don’t know! Don’t listen to me. I haven’t played the game. It’s just what I think. :wink:

    @Indigo Rush: Yeah and annoying too! Just listen and you here people screeming! My ears don’t like that. :(

    But I like the intro. :)

    Well…this is…

    PATHETIC! SEGA … can’t you at least keep a game under wraps until the actual release. I mean seriously. If this keeps up then a full demo of project needlemouse will be available by next week. Not that I despise SEGA or anything, but I just think they need to doublecheck thier release dates.

    One more thing… GO Silver! You need your own game.
    (In my opinion, Silver is not a bad character at all, he was just first introduced in the worst game possible.

    By the way…. Cool game footage :)

    Keep in mind, it’s just a minigame they’re showing off. I think they won’t play a major role in the game.

    Nice intro. Anyone who says this is boring. that was just curling.

    I wonder if any Julien-K songs are in this game.
