2008, 2010, and 2012 have such an expressive and cinematic feel to them. It feels epic and grandiose; as a kid I'd watch the intros to the end because of that feeling. I'll give an honorable mention to 2020; they definitely brought back that cinematic feel, but some scenes felt stiff/artificial. I assume they used the in-game animations and in-game simulations instead of animating a full intro like the WII versions. It's a different approach, but you don't get the same control over expression, motion, and lighting.
Vancouver and London had the best intros... You can see the budget for the games go out the window when they have to use in game models for the cutscenes rather than CGI
I have a fondness for the original intro, something about when the instruments hit peak when Shadow and Luigi are jumping over the hurdles just screams at me.
2008 was my first time playing a game related to sonic characters and I immediately fell in love with the characters blaze and shadow even tho i didn’t know about their backstories, the design told me something
I love the London intro, the colors, the effects, the lights, really beautiful, I thought the next ones were like that but they weren't.. they're not bad but I prefer London one much more

Same. I nearly almost cried when I watched the intro for the game Mario and Sonic at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games as well. I’ll be getting the game for Christmas and I can’t wait to play it when I get the game for Christmas.
Olympic Winter Games was my first game of the series that I owned. It holds so many memories of mine that I’ll never forget. I did end up getting Rio 2016, and I had some good fun with that game as well. I’m not sure if they’re gonna keep going with this series and make another one at some point for this year or 2026, but I’d honestly love to see them do so. This is a super fun game series that deserves more love, assuming it doesn’t get enough.
These games' intros (especially the first three) are the reason why I made it a tradition to watch the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. Been watching since Beijing 2008 and I'm ready for Paris 2024.
I’m going to miss this series a lot I hate that the Olympic decided to not do this series again like it was my childhood like this means everything to me
I love how Luigi and Shadow developed some kind of rivalry all thanks to the steps of Mario and Sonic being friendly rivals. We need more interaction between those two as well 💕 But yeah, this saga is my all time favorite since I'm a fan of both so much. That's why I love seeing these in a daily basis, to remind myself how gorgeous the first game was to this very point. Thanks Nintendo and Sega for collaborating in these games. I hope we get a proper game with the boys outside the Olympics 😭❤💙
I can't believe my childhood series has ended :( All because of NFTs... But at least this series will forever be remembered as an amazing Mario & Sonic crossover!!
Back in 2008 Nintendo: ok, so I got a big idea Sega: fantastic. What is it? Nintendo: let’s just take the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, and put Mario and Sonic in it! Sega: that ain’t gonna work Later Sega: well holy shit Nintendo: eh? What you think? Sega: we doing sequels? Nintendo: we doing sequels!
The openings from the earlier games that were in Pixar quality CGI were always a delight to watch. I also think the pre-rendered teaser trailer for the original Olympic Games game should be included in this compilation.
They should've stuck to the CGI intros. Like after 2012 the intros didn't really look that good to be completely honest. Younger me loved the Rio opening but now I just appreciate the music more than the presentation itself. But sadly this series was cancelled and for NFTs of all things.
I honestly prefer pre-rendered cutscenes over in-game ones. I understand that In-game cutscenes cut down on costs, but there’s no beating the beauty of hand animated cutscenes. Automated animations have simply not reached the level of expressiveness of hand animation.
Agreed. I did get inspired by those pre-rendered cutscenes to recreate the official promotional character models using modified versions of this franchise's in-game models. Most of my model releases (on Deviantart) are mainly on Yoshi (as other 3D artists did Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Sonic the Hedgehog and Bowser 3D model replicas to name a few)
The first 3 cinematics were fantastic. You can definitely tell that they were wanting to relive the magic with Rio and Tokyo, but they just didn't have the budget I guess. Tokyo at least is a lot cleaner than Rio's, but it's extremely slow paced, the in-game models look plastic, scenes are super basic, and there are no music cues (it's just a repeating loop that adds instruments later). Hopefully the next game can have an awesome pre-rendered cinematic like the classics. Maybe Nintendo Studios could do it? If it's not too early for them to work on a project after being acquired?
MEMORIES with the first two games! The winter one was my FAVORITE, my sister and I use to play that one ALL the time! We LOVED ALL of the sports, except curling. I have yet to try the one out on the Switch.
I have memories from the games too!!!!! I’ll be getting Mario and Sonic at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games, Mario and Sonic at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, and Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for the 3ds for Christmas. Once I get those 3 games for Christmas I’ll be playing them every day and having nostalgia memories of playing them back when I was younger as a kid.
@@chadgaming8288 It will be nice when I get the games for Christmas!!!!! I’m going to have a lot of nostalgic memories of playing them when I was younger as a kid!!!!!
I really wished that Nintendo SWITCH could have finally released Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games Paris 2024 this year at last especially with Olympics Paris games coming this Summer, it's like if they're discontined.
That’s what everyone seems to think, hopefully that isn’t true. Another reason is the fact that apparently nobody got the license to make a game based on Paris 2024

Sucks they haven't made another winter games since Sochi hopefully the winter games come back to the franchise
@@steventomasi5557I hope so, apparently Ubisoft has the rights to making games for the Winter Olympics
So true dude
I have a fondness for the original intro, something about when the instruments hit peak when Shadow and Luigi are jumping over the hurdles just screams at me.
I almost shedded a tear over the London intro. Mario and Sonic shaking hands. It just shows the good relationship between Nintendo and SEGA.
To me it just seemed like the perfect dap
The olympic winter games are very cold!
Same.

We lost to nfts
Mannn we deserve something way better than the Olympics an crossover with an actual premise would make hella money
london 2012 continues to prove itself as the best one
i 100% agree, that is the best one
So based
I love the London intro, the colors, the effects, the lights, really beautiful, I thought the next ones were like that but they weren't.. they're not bad but I prefer London one much more

it for sure is
I don't think it is I know it is

@@krististarosta6736They confirmed they wouldn’t be making anymore.
This game really made Olympic games look hype. And they thought NFTs souns better, I hate CEOs
I’m going to miss this series a lot I hate that the Olympic decided to not do this series again like it was my childhood like this means everything to me
I will never understand why the first intros where peak and objectively better than the new lnes
2012 was the last time they cared about intros, 2016 was the last time they cared about gameplay
the ones before were definitely made before the games actual release and the newer ones are rendered in game which gives it at lower quality look
I wish the saga would still go on with this series. I really like these games ;-;
The intros of Bejing, Vancouver and London are peak cinema!❤️💙

I can’t believe the IOC gave these games up for NFTs. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
That is something that we are not going to like
This is the first ever time i felt depressed when i saw the news
