A few new screenshots from Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games were added to the Rio 2016 blog before being pulled just a few moments later. You can check them out below.
Apparently, there were a few other screenshots on the blog as well. They showed Sonic competing in Archery, -Zazz (against Yoshi) preparing to serve in Table Tennis, Rugby 7s with 3 Marios, 2 Sonics, Diddy Kong, Boom Booms and Egg Pawns, and Rosalina, Daisy, Peach and a female Mii competing in Synchronize Swimming.
As we mentioned last week, Splatoon allows for a second player in Battle Dojo to use a motion control setup. This can be done by “attaching” a Wii Remote Plus to the Wii U Pro Controller or Classic Controller/Pro. You can get a look at this in the video below.
On Thursday, Cube Life: Island Survival arrived on the North American Wii U eShop. Watch some footage from the game below.
Deep Silver released a few new screenshots from Mighty No. 9. Take a look at them in the gallery below.
Every single year, rumors come about with people claiming to have some insider knowledge about what Nintendo will be announcing at E3. This speculation comes in many different forms, such as from those who say that they have an “internal document” with complete information about what will be revealed. Of course, these things are never true, but that doesn’t stop them from appearing each year.
Now’s your chance to get in on the fun! Someone has gone out of their way to create a website that generates fake rumors pertaining to Nintendo’s Digital Event once the page loads. Give it a look here.

Wee Man Studios has shared the first official screenshots as well as new details about Lifespeed with Nintendo Everything.
For those who haven’t heard of Lifespeed previously, it’s a futuristic flying racing game for 3DS. It’ll come with 11 playable characters, online leaderboards, and a story mode.
Speaking of the story mode, we have new information on that front. We’re told that cut-scenes happen after almost every race, and there’s even a bit of story that plays our during races themselves. The latter is on the subtle-side, so you’ll have to be careful not to miss it. There are also two alternative endings to the comic book storyline. What you’re able to see will depend on your actions on the race track.
Characters in Lifespeed come from different planets, have their own backstory, and personal rivalries. Personalities are reflected in their statistics, style of racing, and their communications during races. Wee Man Studios hopes that, in the future, they can weave in characters not featured in the story currently as well as introduce brand new characters.
Finally, we have some information about Lifespeed’s weapons. Players fly through rings in order to obtain power-ups and weapon pickups. By flying through a multiplier ring, you’ll receive a big speed increase for a short period of time. You also fly through a weapons ring to obtain a weapon, which include lasers, missiles, mines.
Players can only hold one weapon at a time in Lifespeed. Weapons need to be targeted at the enemy and will only work effectively if you get a strong lock on. Wee Man Studios says that using the weapons locking system effectively is something you’ll need to develop in order to be good at battling in Lifespeed.
Oh, and one more tidbit: it’s possible to perform a starfox-esq barrel roll using the shoulder buttons.
Lifespeed launches on the 3DS eShop this summer. View some screenshots below.
