Play Nintendo is continuing its video series to promote the launch of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Take a look at the second episode below.

SEGA has gone live with a new timelines trailer for 7th Dragon III Code: VFD. In the game, the protagonist and his/her team will need to use utilize time travel technology in order to rid the earth of the diabolical dragon menace.

Here’s the new trailer:

These are the different timelines and areas players will venture through, straight from SEGA:

– Present-day Tokyo – The year 2100 in Tokyo is your first stop in the game. The city is an urban jungle filled with hazardous areas like the subway line and landmark giant tower. However, if you need to take a breather from hunting dragons, Nodens Enterprises HQ is located here.

– Ancient Atlantis – So naturally, you’ll depart Tokyo and step back in time to the mythical ocean kingdom of Atlantis. Be warned, the capital city of Atlantica, royal palace, and Cladeon lower wards are rife with danger. Oh, but the blacksmiths of Atlantis are renowned for forging great weapons, so definitely worth a visit.

– Futuristic Eden – The futuristic collection of states known as Eden will be the last time and place you’ll explore. You can visit the Kazan Republic, the ruins of Preloma, or brave the mysteries of the sealed tower. However, it would be wise to remain vigilant as dragons and enemies haunt your every step. The future is definitely bleak, so don’t be surprised if some people from that time period are sympathetic to your cause.
