Track & Field games have been a popular genre ever since the original NES, and with the growing success of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, the recent Summer Olympics, and the once again upcoming sequel of Mario & Sonic (not to mention Konami's rebirth of New International Track & Field for DS), other teams are starting to throw their hats in the ring.
Game Factory, known best for its tranquil Zenses puzzlers and Rubiks DS and Wii games, is putting the finishing touches on World Championship Games: A Track & Field Event, a title that hopes to offer a more realistic take on Olympic sports, but still keep the classic "easy to play, tough to master" schemes that were found in classic 8-bit gaming alive and well.
