SEGA Positive About Future Mario & Sonic Crossovers

Talking with SEGA earlier this week, it was revealed that a future collaboration between the company's mascot, Sonic, and Nintendo's exuberant Italian plumber, Mario, could well be on the cards. SEGA of America's President, Simon Jeffery, explained that sales of the Wii and Nintendo DS versions of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games have now surpassed the ten million mark around the world, far in excess of the company's projected four million total that was initially set. And this is before the Olympics actually kick off over in Beijing, with sales expected to shoot up again when the event commences.

As a result of the huge success, the question has to be whether or not Mario and Sonic will once again team up in the future, especially given how Sonic made an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for Wii. In response Jeffery was cagey, but positive, stating, "We would be delighted to do another game with Mario and Sonic."

But what would you like to see - an in-depth RPG cross-over, a platform outing developed by Miyamoto-san and the team at EAD, or something completely different?
