The game received a score of 49% by Official Nintendo Magazine - while they praised the game's 'TV-show-style to menus and games', they criticized the controls (describing them as 'almost universally abject') and the event gameplay. ReviewsReviewer, PublicationScoreCommentDanielle Riendeau,6/10'While its dream events are colorful and fun, Sochi 2014 suffers from an overall lack of depth.

Sochi 2014 boasts plenty of variety, and the game was great for multiplayer matches with a mixed group, where that simplicity was a boon. But the novelty of figure skating as Donkey Kong wears thin quickly — and Sochi 2014 is simply too lightweight to be a contender.' Martin Gaston,5/10'The Mario & Sonic series is the perfect example of the kind of charming, bite-sized, and all-inclusive entertainment that defined Nintendo throughout the Wii's golden years, but a lack of creativity and a poor implementation of the Wii U GamePad ensure that Mario & Sonic's fourth outing in six years fails to secure a podium finish.' Scott Thompson,4.5/10'Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games has some of the best online capabilities on the Wii U, but it unwisely forces use of poor motion controls in almost every mode. For all its competitive elements, including leaderboards, online multiplayer, and downloadable ghost competitors, Sochi 2014 is just too unpredictable to make good use of any of them.

There is some fun to be had in both local and online multiplayer, but half of that is the comedy of playing with terrible controls.' AggregatorsCompilerPlatform / ScoreMetacriticGameRankings.
