Mario and Sonic have returned to face off in their Olympic rivalry as of yesterday in North America. To celebrate the release, Sega have now graced us with a launch trailer to show just what fans of both series can expect. As well as the standard Olympic games, this entry features over 50 party games, with the likes of shell launching, treasure hunting, and ring collecting, where players can play as several the famed characters from both franchises. Knuckles, Wario, Peach, yep…they’re all here.

I still don’t see Mario beating Sonic in…well anything aside from a high jump competition (or a pasta eating contest), but this romp is still looking pretty entertaining and you can now find it in stores everywhere for the Nintendo Wii and 3DS.

Have Some Curry In This Ni No Kuni Video

Level-5 has a brand new video for Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Instead of showing some gameplay footage or exploring the locations, the scene below shows the young hero Oliver and a couple of his friends deciding to have some beef curry. That’s right, beef curry.

So, why is Oliver and co having beef curry? Well, the appearance of beef curry may be the result of a partnership between Level-5 and House Foods in Japan. House Foods are promoting both the game and their own curry as they release Ni No Kuni branded curry. I guess it’s a great way to give the partnership a nod within the game.

Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will be release on November 17 (which is today in Australia, in fact) in Japan and 2012 in North America and Europe.

Usually, hearing people talk about the latest carry case, or any accessory, for an electronic device, it isn’t the most exciting thing to hear about. Someone at Sony believes the opposite as Sony Computer Entertainment has released a video on the case. Ok, not surprising, but the video clocks in at over seven minutes. Wow, there seems to be a lot to talk about.

The video is below, if you want to check it out. I should point out that the video will be in Japanese, but the gestures aren’t that foreign, so you may understand the video to a certain extent. For those who want a quick wrap up, the video is basically showcasing the carry case and how you can still play the Playstation Vita with the case attached to it. The earphones are also displayed and discussed.

The Playstation Vita will be released on December 17 in Japan, February 22 in North America and Europe and February 23 in Australia and New Zealand. The case will retail for ¥1,800 while the earphones will retail for ¥2,800.
