If you've ever played a Mario and Sonic game before, you know what you are in for. However, there are some really cool additions to this game that brings it to the top of my list.
To start out, I did purchase this game at $34.99 on a sale price. I think $60 is a lot BUT if you can get it cheaper, I recommend that.
There is also a demo in stores that you can go try and see if you like it.
This game has a fun single player campaign where you not only play through the story but also get to learn a lot of facts about Japan and the Olympics.
There is also a new mode where you go back in time and play as the classic sprites of the SNES/NES/GENESIS era, which as a lifelong gamer who grew up in that era, was a real treat!
The games themselves are hit and miss and you'll quickly find ones you enjoy playing and others you'll only play when the game makes you.
We also played this with friends and that's where the real fun is at. Getting together and playing Mario and Sonic with a group is just as fun as Mario Party where you'll be either using the motion controls or button controls to best each other in various Olympic events.
All in all, it's a fun game that would be best at a cheaper price. Again, if you are on the fence, go to your local store with a kiosk and give it a try! :)

I really thought this would be a bad game just because when I was a kid these sort of games with a gimmick were usually just bad. Have to say though I really enjoy playing this with the family. The events are pretty good obviously some better than others. The opening movie is really cool too. My daughter loves Sonic and Mario so she really likes the game too.

The Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is generally a series I enjoy and it's great to finally have an installment on the Switch. Overall the game is very enjoyable, especially the amusing story mode and for local or online multiplayer (this is the kind of game that really caters to local multiplayer fun), but it's lacking when it comes to modes and options.

Unfortunately I had terrible customer service when I went to purchase this game. Other than that the game is what’s to be expected, if you’ve owned the other Mario and Sonic Olympic Games on other consoles. I could’ve been fine waiting until this game was cheaper, but I was itching to get a new game so I went ahead a bought it when it came out. The solo story mode is fun and I still am working on completing it. The new sports they have on here is fun too in multiplayer mode. Mario games never seem to disappoint.
