More videos, including from the PS3 version, and our impressions will follow later today and tomorrow.Update: Third part available.Update 2: Added a very short but still interesting video comparison of the 360 and PS3 versions. Thanks to TTP for the PS3 part :)

The water and table tennis disciplines are honoured with these new images taken from Mario Sonic at The Olympic Games on the Nintendo Wii. As I played them last weekend, I can tell you the fun is definately there, though you will take some time getting used to the controls. Hopefully, there are tutorials for every discipline you will take part it. At least these ares not like the running one where you seem to milk a cow.
