It was an average day for Louis Squirrel. Suddenly, Amy Rose showed up in her summer Olympics attire.

"Hi Amy," Louis said.

"Hi Louis," Amy answered. "I should let you know that I'm competing in Rio this summer."

"I'll be there to see you," Louis said.

Amy was surprised.

"Blaze and Rouge are competing this summer as well," she said.

"That's even better," Louis responded.

"There will be a pre-Olympic party the night before the Opening Ceremony and a post-Olympic party the night after the Closing Ceremony as well," Amy added.

"Count me in," Louis answered.


I've been feeling pretty hyped up about the release of "Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games" for the Nintendo 3DS in North America on March 18 and the Wii U version being released later on. Previously, I was busier with the latest installments of EA's Need for Speed franchise. In 2007, I didn't play the first "Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games" since I was busier with "Need for Speed: Pro Street". In 2009, I was more focused on "Need for Speed: Shift" and "Need for Speed: Nitro" even though I had a Nintendo Wii console at the time. In 2011, I was preoccupied with "Need for Speed: The Run" and in 2013, I was focused on "Need for Speed: Rivals" but my sister and I got a Nintendo Wii U console and "Mario and Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games" just in time for the Winter Olympics.
