Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games has received a small update in Japan. Version 1.2.0 addresses an error experienced when players attempted to exit the Wii MotionPlus’s Operations screen before the start of the game.
This update might be available in North America and Europe as well. If you have a copy of the game in either of these two territories and have managed to download update 1.2, let us know!
Nintendo isn’t planning on bringing its games to smartphones and tablets any time soon, but the company does appear to be extending its reach on such devices.
According to a report from Japanese business paper Nikkei, Nintendo is gearing up to launch free game demos/mini-games on these mobile platforms. Advertising will also be increased on smartphones and tablets. Both moves will aid Nintendo in better marketing its products.
Outlet Dr. Serkan Toto, reporting on the news, writes that “Nintendo wants to use smartphones to expand its potential user base by spreading information about new game releases, i.e. by using video to introduce future titles,” possibly through an official app. Meanwhile, the “playable demos of console games” are a means “to give smartphone-only players a taste of the experience without making the actual game available on non-Nintendo devices and convert these users into Nintendo customers.”
Assuming Nikkei’s report is accurate, Nintendo will be making this news official on Thursday during its latest financial results briefing.

That will be changing sometime this week. Moon Chronicles’ reveal trailer will hit in just a matter of days, according to the game’s official Twitter account.
Be on the look out for the Moon Chronicles reveal trailer this week… and maybe some early hands-on impressions!? Let's go interstellar!!
