There are plenty of recurring themes, gameplay elements and staff involved, so let’s see how almost a decade of developing RPGs shaped this robot-slaying, god-climbing adventure.

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.

Three new Fire Emblem If screenshots have been discovered on the game’s Japanese 3DS eShop page. In the first two images, we see the Avatar and Kazahana teaming up to defeat a Nohrian Dark Mage. The third has an Inigo lookalike teaming up with what seems to be a female Cavalier in order to tackle a Ninja.
