Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympics will be released on March 18th in NA

A few minutes ago, Nintendo of America announced that Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympics would be released on March 18th in North America. But there’s a catch: even though both a Wii U and Nintendo 3DS were announced at the same time, today’s announcement only applies to the Nintendo 3DS version.

Unfortunately, Nintendo didn’t give any additional details about the game, let alone a trailer and/or some screenshots. To learn more about Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympics on Nintendo 3DS, make sure to check out this post for plenty of details (including the list of sports and characters), some videos, screenshots, and more.

On Facebook, Nintendo clarified that the Wii U version would be released “later this year”.
