Last year, Sega split the difference on which iconic superstar would cover Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. For the Wii and DS games, both Nintendo's mustachioed plumber and the publisher's own blue hedgehog were featured front and center. For the game based on the real deal, however, Sega has been faced with an Olympic-size pool of world-class athletes to pick up from.
Rather than risk a gold-medal debacle to rival Marion Jones, Sega has opted for four promising athletes to cover the US edition of Beijing 2008 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games: Amanda Beard, Tyson Gay, Nastia Liukin, and Reese Hoffa. Beijing 2008 is expected to release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC sometime this summer. Opening ceremonies for the official 2008 Summer Olympics are scheduled to commence August 8.
