Gamescom 2016 is still underway, but next year’s expo has already been dated. The show will take place between August 22, 2017 and August 26, 2017.

Next year’s Gamescom will be a tad different. For the first time, it will take place between Tuesday and Saturday (first day is for trade visitors and the media like usual). In other words, everything is bumped up a day early in 2017. It’s also in place from here on out to have Gamescom staged during the last full week of August.

The Obon holiday period took place in Japan last week. During that time, several Nintendo titles were boosted on the sales charts.

Yo-kai Watch 3 sold 93,000 copies for both versions between August 8 and August 14, up 144.65 percent from the previous week. It has also now managed to surpass one million copies sold. Yo-kai Watch 3 is the first title from 2016 to reach that mark.

Also due to demand during Obon, mainstay Nintendo titles experienced increased sales. For example, Kirby: Planet Robobot sold 15,000 copies. That’s a 130.40 percent jump from the previous week.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Olympics gave a boost to Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Across Wii U and 3DS, combined sales were at 18,000 copies. They sold 1.5 times more than last week.
