Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games is out today in North America on 3DS, but European players have another month to go before its release. A new overview trailer can be found below.

Bravely Second made its way to Europe last month. The RPG came with some changes in its western release, such as how completing optional side quests always provides players with a “good” ending.

Nintendo Life has now managed to obtain a statement from the Big N regarding this change. In its response, Nintendo noted that Bravely Second’s developers believed that this modification would be appropriate based on “overwhelming feedback” from Japanese players. Users “felt an unsatisfying disconnect between their intentions and the characters’ reactions” as “each side quest would end with the team lamenting the decision they made, regardless of the player’s decision.”

You can read up on Nintendo’s full statement below.

We haven’t seen too much of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 in video form, but a new video should start changing that. You can watch 13 minutes of footage in what we have attached below.
