NOTE: Developing story, will have more information later when press release comes

During a Japan Nintendo Direct this morning, Nintendo and SEGA in partnership with the IOC announced Mario and Sonic at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, the 6th entry in the series. The game as before will use the actual venues at the upcoming Olympics (in Rio), and dream events in Sonics and Marios worlds.

The reveal trailer shows 2 new events being added, rugby and golf, the latter being added to the actual Olympic games officially in 2016. New Sonic series playable characters as shown in the trailer are Rouge, Jet, Zazz and Espio.

The reveal trailer from the Nintendo Direct can be seen here (Note: In Japanese): Trailer

It's hard enough to remain interested in actual Sonic games, much less these mediocre spinoffs. There couldn't possibly be a more obvious cash cow; they're milking this like Nintendo milks Mario Party, the difference being that this particular concept went stale years ago.

Definitely not interested.

M&S 2016 has been dated for 2016, yep... Not the Chistmas/Holiday season like in the past. Maybe closer to the games themselves to boost sales?

Also sticks is apparently playable.

If Sticks is in it she should have a snarky line about how everyone looks different.

I hope amiibo support means we can unlock the respective characters in the game. But it'll probably just be Mii costumes. :c

Finally an update to share on this game after how long... 6 months?

The 3Ds version is releasing in Japan this February and we have a new trailer from Nintendo Japan showing off more of the the games features. http://youtu.be/cnrmVV-dIGk

Of note, we got a lot of new characters this time, all of the playables can be seen in this screenshot I took from the trailer. http://prntscr.com/9jbk48 On the Sonic side, we have Zavok, Espio, Wave, Zazz, Sticks, Cream, Jet and Eggman Nega. On the Mario side, we have Diddy Kong, Birdo, Roselina, Dry Browser, Dry Bones, nabbit, and 4 of the Koopa Kids.

Sadly the amiibo support will be limited to just Mario and Sonic >_>

I for one, actually enjoy the Olympic game series. Though when I first played it, I actually thought that it was literally "Team Mario vs Team Sonic" like advertised (not that both teams were mixed just to form teams independent of the two main teams). But I am still excited for this next title. But I must ask, is it going to be the $60 ridiculous price that all top name games cost nowadays? Because that may end up being a deal breaker for me.

Also, when you listed the characters confirmed, that is an addition to the ones already in the previous games, right?

I normally pick these games up similar to how I am with Madden and MLB: The Show games. Finding them at deal prices. =P (Normally $25 or less)

Tomy, one of SEGA's license partners has some signs up at their NY Toy Fair booth on some of SEGA's plans. Given these signs had some inaccuracies last year, I am treating this as unconfirmed until SEGA announces it themselves. This information comes from @DaPatMac on twitter, who was in attendance at the toy fair, and we credit @BluParadox, TSSZ News and Sonic Stadium for passing this on.

On the video game sign, the Wii U version of the game is listed among the 2 upcoming game releases upcoming so far. The game is dated for June 2016, just 2 months before the games in Rio.
