Two new TV spots for Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games on the DS have arrived straight from Japan this morning, which should cause even the most jaded cynic to smile a little bit.

The infectious enthusiasm of the commentator certainly plays a part, but the videos reveal a vibrant and bold game that should be perfect to dip in and out of on train journey's and bus rides.

The only worry is whether the more active interactions like clapping will be mandatory. We're still getting over the looks we received when we tried to blow out candles in WarioWare Touched! on a crowded morning commuter train.

Not to mention the logistical nightmare of clapping whilst holding on to a DS.

This definitely looks to me like a game that overuses DS touchscreen (and maybe microphone) features. I think I'll pass on it, even though I rather like the idea of a sports game putting Mario and Sonic together.
