The Olympics has moved on from Mario and Sonic

The IOC has ended its licensing agreement with Nintendo and Sega, ending the development of the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games franchise.

For almost 20 years, Nintendo and Sega have released Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games to coincide with the international sporting event. But now, according to a report in Eurogamer, that tradition is at an end. In 2020, the IOC made the decision to not renew the game’s licensing deal, ending a run of games that’s covered most Summer and Winter Olympic Games since 2007.

To coincide with the Paris Games, the IOC, in collaboration with Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid studio nWay, has developed Olympics Go! Paris 2024, a mobile game featuring minigames based on Olympic events. According to the game’s website, players are able to claim an “officially licensed, commemorative Paris 2024 NFT Digital Pin.” Esports at the Olympics isn’t a new concept.
