Pokemon, Digimon and Kirby at the Olympic Games

, is a sports game developed and published by Bandai Namco in North America and Europe, and by Nintendo in Japan.
The game was officially licensed by the International Olympic Committee through exclusive licensee International Sports Multimedia in 2023. It was the first official video game of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games to be released.
The game was first announced by Bandai and Nintendo on 28 july 2023. Bandai Disney showed the first screenshots and a movie of both versions of pokemon & Digimon at the Olympic Games at E3 2023.
The game was known for being the first official crossover title to feature both Pokémon, Digimon and Kirby, Nintendo and Bandai's former rival mascots, along with other characters from the respective series. The player can assume the role as one of these characters while competing against the others in numerous Olympic events as well as fantasy events.
==Gameplay==
Pokemon, Digimon & Kirby at the Olympic Games brings together the title characters and 14 more from both franchises to participate in environments based on the official venues of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. These environments are stylized to fit the art styles of the Pokemon, Digimon and Kirby video games. Besides the characters from the Pokemon and Digimon and Kirby games, Miis can also be played as in the Switch and MEXT versions. There are also a few randomly selected non-playable characters acting as referees or the audience for certain events. Each playable character has their own statistics which can serve as an advantage or disadvantage depending on the event. They are divided into four categories: all-around, Speed, power, and skill. All-Around isn't really its own skill, but more of just being good enough in the other categories. There is also a statistic for stamina.
The gameplay involves utilizing either or a combination of the joy con and Button controls on the Switch or VR and button controls on the MEXT in various ways to complete each event. The events can require a combination of Speed, timing, and some strategy. Each competition offers a slight degree of difference. In the running events, for example, getting a starting boost in the 100m dash will either make or break the player's place, while in a relay race, which can last for well over a minute, this may not determine place as effectively. The game also has leaderboards that make use of the Nintendo online Connection to show the best times and scores.

==Events==
The game has thirty Olympic events which are divided into eight different classifications; athletics, gymnastics, shooting, rowing, archery, aquatics, fencing and table tennis. All of these events are organized in the tournament and circuit modes. Some events such as 4x100 m relay race, allow the player to have a team of four characters. Circuit mode is where players compete for the highest overall score in a pre-determined series of events or design their own circuit. In the single-player mission mode, each of the competitors has six character-specific missions to complete, however each of the characters statistics are not as balanced as in the main game. For example, one of Pokemon missions, beating Digimon, is more challenging here. Cycling and 10m Platform Diving are Olympic events on this console.
There is an Dream version of four of the Olympic events in the game called "Dream Events". They differ from their real-life counterparts by applying more fictional video game attributes from the Pokemon and Digimon worlds. As a result, these events also have recognizable locations, abilities, objects, and support characters from both gaming worlds.
