Beijing 2008 snubs Nintendo

Sega's upcoming take on the Summer Olympic Games will not be available on Nintendo formats. This is something of a blow to China, who are trying to raise awareness of their capital city prior to the event.

1 - Good choice SEGA

i guess SEGA wants the playable characters to have heads, arms, and legs that LOOK like real heads, arms, and legs.

There already is a Olympic game for Wii, and I bet that was why it hasn't been developed for the Nintendo platforms. It's purely economic.

Guess SEGA got wise after the abysmal sales of the Sonic vs. Mario Olympic crap fest

It's a great game, but it's only for group playing. And it sold great in Japan.

Well probably because Sega doesn't think that they should have 2 Olympic type games on the system. Wii already has a version. This is more like Sega throwing Sony and MS a bone.
