SEGA has announced that Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games is due out for Wii and DS on 16th October.

The sports game sequel allows you to play as your Mii on Wii, and both versions feature new playable characters and of course a host of winter-themed events.

All the events will be unlocked from the start, and include downhill skiing, speed skating and bobsleigh - the latter featuring co-op elements. Certain events are also compatible with the Wii balance board, although it's not required.

Check out our Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games hands-on for more on both versions.
