Entries on GameFly indicate that Nintendo will be handling the release of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games – at least in North America. The retailer has Nintendo listed as the publisher of both the Wii U and 3DS versions.

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games was the first entry in the series Nintendo published worldwide. Prior to that, SEGA was in charge of publishing in all regions except for Japan, where the Big N handled things.

Every single year, rumors come about with people claiming to have some insider knowledge about what Nintendo will be announcing at E3. This speculation comes in many different forms, such as from those who say that they have an “internal document” with complete information about what will be revealed. Of course, these things are never true, but that doesn’t stop them from appearing each year.

Now’s your chance to get in on the fun! Someone has gone out of their way to create a website that generates fake rumors pertaining to Nintendo’s Digital Event once the page loads. Give it a look here.
