With the initial footage we’ve seen of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, we have a pretty good idea about some of the new roster additions. Characters like Nabbit and Diddy Kong were shown, for example. The Nintendo Direct footage also gave a brief look at Zazz from Sonic Lost World (see the image above), along with Rouge the Bat and Jet the Hawk.
Thanks to Anthony for the tip.

Rumor: Splatoon selling through over 90% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Wii U | 10 Comments
Splatoon is doing very, very well in Japan. Because of the game’s strong sales, the game has been tough to find on store shelves. Nintendo even issued an apology on its Twitter account last week, and vowed to ship more copies in the coming days.
We’re now hearing that Splatoon managed to sell through over 90 percent of its initial shipment in Japan. That isn’t confirmed just yet, but it wouldn’t be terribly shocking based on reports of how its selling out at various stores. This would also likely mean that Splatoon sold somewhere in the range of 150,000 copies in Japan. We should be receiving official data on Wednesday!
