Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is launching for 3DS on September 27, SEGA revealed today. That announcement was just made during a panel at SXSW.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice was originally on track to release last holiday. However, SEGA delayed the game last September. The company said this was done “to make sure the game has the time and polish needed”.

Plenty of gameplay is in for Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games’ story mode on 3DS. Take a look at 2 hours of footage below.

The Mario & Sonic series first began in 2008 to commemorate the Summer Olympics in Beijing. Since then, Mario, Sonic, and friends have continued duking it out at each edition of the Olympics, now leading up to this summer’s festivities in Rio de Janeiro. But how does Mario and Sonic’s newest foray into traditional sporting events on the 3DS stack up against their previous ventures?

The North American Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games website is now live. To access it, head on over here. Game details, a trailer, and screenshots are among the things you’ll see on the site.

Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games launches for 3DS in North America on March 18. The European release will take place on April 8.

It was confirmed last week that Sonic the Hedgehog will be having its own panel at SXSW later this month. An additional blurb from the expo teases “a special reveal” that will be made for the series’ 25th anniversary.

Here’s what it states:

“Yuji Naka (Sonic Original Creator), Takashi Iizuka (Head of Sonic Team), Roger Smith (Voice of Sonic the Hedgehog), Mike Pollock (Voice of Dr. Eggman), Austin Keys (Sega), Aaron Webber (Sega)

25 years had to go fast, and here we are today wondering where it all went. Join the original creator of Sonic the Hedgehog, along with the amazing production heads responsible for bringing the franchise to life, for an in-depth analysis of where Sonic came from and where he’s heading going forward. A special reveal will be made as part of the celebration for this anniversary milestone.”

TSSZ News actually says that the reveal won’t be a new game. If it’s something else, I’m not quite sure what it could be!

Nintendo has gone live with a new North American Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games 3DS commercial. View it below.

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.
