The 2024 Paris Olympics is here, but with all the major events in recent years, the presence of the Paris Olympics has been somewhat low. However, for gamers, it seems that a game series has suddenly lost its presence. That is "Mario & Sonic Olympic Games", which has not been heard of this year. This is the first time in 16 years that the series has been "discontinued" from the Summer Olympics.



As a sports game series, "Mario & Sonic Olympic Games" is, as the name suggests, an Olympic-themed work produced by Nintendo and Sega. However, compared to hardcore sports games, "Mario & Sonic Olympic Games" is more of a family game series. In addition to plumber Mario and blue hedgehog Sonic, their partners will also participate in this sports event. At the same time, instead of "changing the skin", each new "Mario & Sonic Olympic Games" game will add new sports events of the year.



In addition to the "Mario & Sonic at the 2024 Paris Olympics" which has no news, "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games" also missed the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and the Beijing Winter Olympics. Although the official recruitment of development staff was launched in 2023, with the series missing the Summer Olympics for the first time, "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games" has missed the Winter and Summer Olympics consecutively. I don't know if this series will return to the players.
