Sega is including twenty events are packed into Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and we know about eighteen of them. The confirmed official Olympic events are:
Fencing – Individual epée
Archery
Shooting – Skeet
Gymnastics – Trampoline
Gymnastics – Vault
Field – High Jump
Field – Pole Vault
Field – Long Jump
Field – Triple Jump
Field – Javelin Throw
Field – Hammer Throw
Rowing – Single Sculls
Table Tennis – Singles
Aquatics – 100m Freestyle
Aquatics – 4x100m Freestyle
Track – 110m and 400m Hurdles
Track – 4x100m Relay
Track –100m and 400m
The list looks pretty diverse with swimming, track, rowing and shooting. Fencing is the event that I'm most excited since it seems like a perfect fit with the remote. The other two events are anyone's guess, but I’m hoping for (not counting on) some martial arts action. Motion controlled Judo or Taekwondo would round the list off Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games nicely. Besides the official games there is a quiz mode to test your knowledge of the Olympics and at E3 Sega mentioned they are planning some fantasy events too.
