3DS

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam has been out in Europe since earlier this month, and in just a few weeks, it’ll be launching in the states as well. That means Nintendo of America is starting to get its promotional efforts going, in part with a teaser website located here. I’m sure it’ll be filled with all sorts of content very soon!

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

This week’s Japanese sales numbers include two big milestones for Nintendo. One is all about hardware, and another applies to one specific game.

First, 3DS has sold over 20 million units in Japan. It’s also important to mention that Splatoon has now sold over 1 million copies in the territory. The game likely already reached that number with digital copies included, though Famitsu’s data officially confirms the figure with physical units. It’s a nice way for Nintendo to close out the year!

A couple of videos were uploaded last night for SEGA 3D Reprint Archives 2. Below, you can watch promos for both 3D Puyo Puyo Tsu and 3D Fantasy Zone II W.

The Hyrule Gold Edition New 3DS XL will finally be launching in Japan next month. When it hits store shelves, the system will come with a little bonus.

Nintendo has revealed that a download code will be included for a classic Link costume usable with a fairy in Hyrule Warriors Legends. Note, however, that the game itself is not included.

We’ll probably be seeing this costume/DLC when Hyrule Warriors Legends heads west in March. It’s also unlikely that it will be exclusive to the bundle in Japan.

Nintendo opened the official Japanese website for Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on 3DS today. The various pages cover the included sports, character roster, amiibo support, and various modes.

In terms of sports, 14 are included in total for Olympic competition. The lineup includes soccer, golf, 100m dash, 110m hurdle, long jump, javelin throw, 100m freestyle swim, archery, boxing, table tennis, beach volley, equestrian, BMX, and rhythmic gymnastic hoop. There are 14 extra competition events, which are the same sports but with added gimmicks from the Mario & Sonic series. Check out the video below for 13 minutes of gameplay showing the different sports and events.

Koei Tecmo updated the Japanese Hyrule Warriors Legends website today with more screenshots from the game. We’ve rounded up all of the various images below. There are a couple in there that we’ve seen before, but most are actually new.
