Former SEGA producer says Nintendo wanted art for Mario & Sonic Olympic Games changed as Sonic’s foot was in-front of Mario’s
One of the more bizarre pieces of news circulating today is that Nintendo was not happy with the original artwork for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. The reason?

The news comes from a new interview with former SEGA of Japan Producer, Ryoichi Hasegawa.
