    I have already handed back this game to the retailer for someone else to deal with. There is a wealth of content, and I can tell a lot of care went into the 1964 events and story chapters, but everything else sucks!

There is a wealth of content, and I can tell a lot of care went into the 1964 events and story chapters, but everything else sucks! You're given a bunch of control options for each event, but most if not all of the motion control offerings are always out of sync with your movements. Sometimes they even shoehorn in motion controls when you only want to play with buttons... that's downright despicable! And even if they don't do that, the controls are still unintuitive and poorly conceived. Having to randomly hold buttons while pressing others, and also having to switch between A and B to B and A in the same event, is just... insanity! Meanwhile the story mode has no repeating or branching paths like I would expect from a game with so many events and characters. The way the characters talk in cutscenes is so boring... it's just as boring as Mario Tennis Aces, if not more so. I swear I wanted the main characters in the modern world to punch the villains because of how slow everything was happening! They even managed to make skipping text unbearable! In the 1964 world you have to wait until the first line of text has been printed before you can even press the skip button! What's left of the Gallery is trivia, and 10 lackluster minigames that offer no replay value. Minigames should offer rewards beyond just a high score, and also increasing difficulty with each session. That's what Beijing 2008 does! Even the music and visual style of Tokyo 2020 isn't as good as the vistas and parades that were present in Rio 2016! It honestly baffles me that I'm able to list off so many negative aspects of Tokyo 2020, and I have no intention of touching this game ever again.… Expand

    No tiene carisma y se siente muy torpe los controles. NO esta mas decir que le falta ese espiritu de su entrega anterior.

    A lot of bad minigames divided in a way that you can't switch between them quickly making it even worse

    Yo no entiendo como es posible que estos juegos sean tan malos, graficamente parece juegos de nintendo 64, jugablemente parece para niños , todo el esquema no divierte a menos que tengan 8 años. decepción.

    Lo eh terminado, y la verdad que eh sufrido para acabarlo, es terriblemente malo, le daria un 0 por la falta de imaginacion , que creen que poner mario es suficiente para las ventas, acaso creen que ese conformismo que tienen no les va a caer. Nintendo cada vez mas conformista y mas infantil.

    Buying this game was my biggest regret. I beg for everyone to not buy this game and I'll say why.
    1 - The game probably wont feature any update/patch to fix its major problems because apparently the company that made it broke.

    1 - The game probably wont feature any update/patch to fix its major problems because apparently the company that made it broke.
    2 - With that said, what are the major problems of this game? Firstly when playing online you can't change anything regarding the game, making most of the minigames unplayable : For example you can only play soccer with the configuration time of 1 minute. WHO HAS FUN playing soccer for 1 minute? Same for rugby and other games...
    3 - Games that should be playing by turns, when playing local they are split screen and you don't have any option to make it a turn based game, for example : Archery and Gimnastics. But what is the problem with that? Well, the problem is that this way you're supposed to have 2 joy con pairs yo play a game with motion like archery that could easily be a turn based game.
    4 - And finnally you can't create a tournament mode where you select some minigames in order and compete with them... you cant only quick play and that's it.

    I'm truly dissapointed with this game and with myself that bought this. If I knew that the company would bankrupt I'd never bought it because these points that I showed are really fixable by a simple patch but it wont be fixed and the game will be almost unplayable.

    I wish I could have my refund but nintendo doens't do that. Guess next time I will wait a month before a release to see if the game is worth it and if is getting support...    … Expand

    太差劲了 每个小游戏单独玩 就不能弄个串起来的模式？ 甚至教学比游玩的时间还要长

    Cream not playable. Same exact roster since the first game in 2007. Certain characters only playable in specific events. When will SEGA learn? 0/10.

    Sinceramente buscaba un Mario party pero olímpico y nada que ver. Juegas 1 deporte a la vez cosa que lo vuelve tedioso, el modo historia super aburrido y tedioso también, la forma de juego es complicada y fácil a vez en mk caso lo jugué en español y las instrucciones super complejas cuesta entender cómo jugar y hacer combos. Muy aburrido lo jugué 2 hrs y mejor lo vendí.

    Quite possibly the worst game of 2019, and not just on the Switch. Story mode is just an unskippable wall of text that you have to click through just to get from one crappy minigame to the next. Controls, no matter what scheme you choose, are absolutely horrendous and feel completely random. Instructions given in the minigame tutorial often do not match up to the actual gameplay.

    At 60 bucks, this game is a shameless ripoff. Hell, at any price, even. Avoid at all costs.    … Expand

    The game is nothing but a lot of quick time events, and half the game is not playable with 3 or more people.

    Though there is room to improve, Mario & Sonic nevertheless do what they do best, and that's deliver a fun experience from beginning to end. [Issue #44 – January/February 2020, p. 60]

    Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is sixth installment in the franchise, as it stands somewhere in the middle. It may not be the best, but surely isn't the worst of them all. It looks superb, has a few really outstanding mini-games and even a selection of 10 retro styled ones for all you nostalgia lovers out there.

    Overall, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 is the best game in the franchise for newcomers. The game offers an abundance of events and a charming story that’ll give younglings insight into the history of the Olympic Games. If you are looking into becoming a competitive athlete online, then this game will not be for you. However, it is perfect for any get together with friends and/or family, due to the game’s short session mentality.
