Nintendo have announced the release date for Mario & Sonic’s latest Olympic outing in Europe, at least for the 3DS.

The Big N tweeted the news from their European account today, revealing an April 8 release date for Mario & Sonic at the 2016 Olympic Games in Europe.

The game, which will be released in Japan next week on February 18 and the US on March 18, was announced during last year’s E3.

Check out today’s tweet below, or revisit the launch trailer further down. Are you looking forward to more Olympic competition from these two rivals? Let us know in the comments section.

I love all things Nintendo! It's my Dad's fault really, since he bought my sister and I the NES many Christmases ago. It was the beginning of a love affair, but who could blame me? There was no better introduction to video games than Mario and Zelda! I'm a proud owner of a 3DS (Fire Emblem-branded, thank you), a Wii U (which, incidentally, also doubles as my TV remote), and the Switch (day one, naturally). I'm a writer and a web developer, so I love writing reviews and take design elements very seriously. My all-time favorite game is Super Mario World for the SNES, though I'm also partial to any of the Mario Kart entries.
