The Paris Olympics are just getting underway, but the event has already made history by being the first Olympics in 16 years to arrive without a new edition of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.

The first edition of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games launched back in 2007 on the Wii, back when it was still profoundly bizarre to see Nintendo andSegaworking together. This title launched one year before the Beijing 2008 Olympics, and every Olympic event that followed saw another Mario and Sonic tie-in land the year before the games were scheduled to take place.
