Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games 3DS eShop pre-load up in North America

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games can now be pre-loaded from the North American 3DS eShop. You can hop on over to the store, pay for the game in full, and download most of the data. When Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games releases in two weeks, you’ll only need a small update to begin playing.

Interestingly, there is no pre-load option for Pokken Tournament as of now. Usually Nintendo makes this functionality available two weeks before a game launches, and it’s coming out on March 18 just like Mario & Sonic. It’s unclear if Pokken Tournament will have a pre-load before release.
